Recreational cannabis is consumed primarily in three forms: as marijuana (primarily the buds), as hashish (a resin preparation), or as hash oil (a distillation of the plant).
Each of these preparations has a very different concentration of THC and CBD, with marijuana having the lowest concentration, hashish having a medium concentration, and hash oil having a much higher concentration. Furthermore, cannabis can be consumed primarily by ingesting it with food (butter, cookies, biscuits, etc.) or by inhaling it through vaporization or combustion (smoking).
It's difficult to establish the specific health risks of cannabis for each individual. The reason? The effects depend on multiple factors: habits and method of consumption, the concentration and balance between THC and CBD, age and individual characteristics... On the one hand, each cannabis plant can have very different concentrations of THC and CBD, which determine the effects produced in the brain. On the other hand, each person has a different predisposition to cannabis, resulting in very different absorption patterns and effects produced.
Recreational cannabis producers have progressively increased the concentration of THC in their crops. The explanation is quite simple: THC is the main molecule that causes the high and the stone. Therefore, recreational users prefer herbs with a higher concentration of this molecule over others like CBD, which do not cause these symptoms but are rather relaxing. However, many experts believe that a high level of THC relative to CBD also somewhat increases the risk of negative health effects: bad highs, bad experiences, dizziness, vomiting, etc. Because of this, the safest plants to consume are those with well-balanced concentrations of THC and CBD.
At MARISANA we care about the quality of the cannabis we grow for our members, which is why we promote a good variety with well-balanced concentrations of THC and CBD in our recreational cannabis, thus guaranteeing the best possible experience for our users.
Our varieties seek to enhance the pleasant and typical effects of cannabis on humans, such as, in addition to euphoria and a feeling of well-being; Appetite and sleep stimulation, pain relief, relaxation and stress reduction, and increased sensory perception.
In this way, we try to minimize the negative or unpleasant effects, which is considered a "bad trip."
During a "bad trip," one can experience anxiety and panic attacks (about 20% of users have experienced this at some point after smoking cannabis), dizziness, agitation, motor coordination and balance problems, paranoid or obsessive thoughts, and confusion.
In context with other "legal" drugs
All drugs have potential risks to human health. However, the degree of danger each poses is very different. It is often thought that legal drugs (alcohol and tobacco) are safer because of their legal and social acceptance. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Marijuana is less addictive than alcohol and tobacco. While 10% of cannabis users become addicted to cannabis, 15% become addicted to alcohol and 32% to tobacco.
Furthermore, no fatal overdoses have been recorded from marijuana use, as is the case with other drugs such as alcohol. On the other hand, the physical harm associated with tobacco (mainly lung cancer and increased risk of cardiovascular disease) and alcohol (mainly liver disease and increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer) are also considerably greater than the known harm associated with cannabis.
However, it must also be taken into account that the health effects of alcohol and tobacco are much better known compared to cannabis because these legal drugs have a considerable volume of scientific studies behind them. Major.
However, the above objectively demonstrates that cannabis, compared to other "legal" drugs, is more beneficial and less harmful.
