We are focused on changing the stigma attached to this natural medicine and its varying effects when consumed.
Let’s talk about all the benefits marijuana has to offer because there are plenty. Marijuana contains active components in the cannabis plant, mainly; tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol. Whether smoking, vaping, ingesting capsules or oils, the effects of marijuana vary. Marijuana has been used to treat patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders, eating disorders, arthritis, and cancer.
Stigmatized are the psychoactive effects of the plant, which is brought on by THC consumption. However, THC is extremely effective as a muscle relaxant, stress reliever and treats insomnia in several cases.
CBD has no psychoactive effects and is now being recognized as a healthier and natural way of treating illnesses, including Parkinson’s disease, boosting the immune system, and promoting brain cells’ growth and development.
Interestingly, opioids and other pharmaceutical drugs have a plethora of side effects, one of which is death by overdose. More common side effects are bone and muscle pain and slowed breathing and heart rate.
