Marijunana is derived from the weed plant and used for medicinal and recreational purposes across the world.
- There are over 500 compounds found in the plant and many ways to consume them.
While it’s commonly smoked or vaped, cannabis-infused foods and drinks have been used since as far back as 1000 BC. Sadly, marijuana was targeted for a smear campaign, resulting in a bad reputation… Many people still see it as strictly a drug to get high. While both medicinal and recreational marijuana is a part of history, not many people totally understand its potential. Most often, those people who speak out against allowing cannabis are basing their opinion on myths and misunderstanding. In recent years, new cases conducted around the world have proven a variety of medical pros from marijuana use and public opinion has suddenly begun to improve. Something most people aren’t aware of is that no deaths have ever been caused by weed overdose, reports indicate that a lady would need to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times the quantity of THC contained in a joint to die from overdose. In other words, it’s just not possible. In fact, weed is safer than the majority of legal pharmaceuticals. It is natural and causes fear side effects than many prescription pills. The health risks of consuming marijuana are much lower than with consuming alcohol or smoking tobacco, then alcohol can be blamed for directly or indirectly resulting in lots of deaths across this country every year. Legalizing more dangerous pills while keeping marijuna criminalized makes no sense and undermines the credibility of warnings against substance abuse.
