myths and truths of cannabis

Good afternoon today I come to talk about a very controversial topic that gives much debate in recent years and as you saw in the title we will talk about cannabis. Cannabis is a very curious and important plant in the history of mankind, because with the hemp they made the first nets, candles and clothes. In India, and e in China has been used for therapeutic and religious purposes for millennia, but since the prohibition of the 1920s many people satirized it and others appreciated it more, but are they bad or good as they say? Because I think not, it is in the middle because it depends a lot on your upbringing, mentality and for it to be used; But if it is true that there are stereotypes about it and today I bring 5 myths and truths about cannabis

1 cannabis is just as addictive as other drugs

Well no, this is a myth indeed cannabis is considered a soft drug along with tobacco, alcohol, L.S.D. Studies have shown that it is 50% less addictive than alcohol and tobacco and 80% or 90% less addictive than strong drugs such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine. But this does not mean that you can not be addicted to this plant. A survey of 2014 showed that of 100% of cannabis users, 70% are people who consume occasionally or only weekends; The other 20% are people who consume daily and only 10% are addicted to marijuana. It should be emphasized that it does not cause physical dependence but psychological dependence, one has to be fragile to become addicted to the point of not being able to leave it.

2 overdose of cannabis

This is also a very common myth that is totally false can not give you an overdose to consume cannabis much less die, in fact the only way you die of that is that you smoke 65k in 15 minutes and yet the lethal In this case it would be smoke and you would die by asphyxiation actually. And that happens because the THC (psychoactive of that plant), however high it is is not at all toxic to the human body as opposed to alcohol and tobacco that even the smallest of consumptions is harmful to the body. What if it can happen is that you get a sugar basin if you have not eaten well or you are frightened by what you feel and you become paranoid in that case it is advisable to take some water and lie down for a while

3 memory loss

This if the cannabis is true if it can cause long term memory loss in very habitual consumers and that it takes more than 7 years consuming this plant. A scientific study has evaluated three groups of people, the first one used cannabis for 7 years every day the other group were occasional consumers with the same period of time and the third group had never tried marijuana. The test was the following were told to all groups 20 words. The first group could remember 6 words, the second group could not remember 4 words and the third group were people who remembered them all and others who cost them remember one or two

4 makes you smater

This myth is also false does not make you smarter in fact we just see that it can cause memory loss. What if it is true that under the psychoactive, you can be more creative and imaginative and can even help concentration to study, that if in a few doses because in high can happen the opposite. For this reason it is the preferred drug of many musicians, writers, designers, writers, artists, etc.

5 cannabis cures cancer

False Cnanabis does not cure it because it has nothing to combat cancer but studies have shown that this plant has properties called CBD (Cannabidiol) that help prevent cancer and relieve its symptoms, is very efficient to help the Chemo as it is able to remove pain, nausea, insomnia, stress. So there are already pharmacies that give their patients medicinal cannabis with a very high percentage of CBD that can come in different forms such as sweets, ointments, drinks, vaporized oils and lots of other forms.
