When talk turns to the subject of Cannabis there seems to be as many opinions as speakers. Many people say that it is a harmless herb that is not addictive or harmful. In fact, many people are convinced that it is medicinal and that regular use can help relieve or even cure a host of illnesses. Others disagree strongly. In many countries it is illegal to deal in or even use Cannabis, or Kush as some call it. However, there are countries where it is legal and where it is sold in public places.
Originating in South and Central Asia, Cannabis boasts a host of uses. It is used to produce hemp, a string fiber that is used to produce clothing and a variety of other products. It also has a long history as a medicinal plant that can be used in many different forms and for relieving various ailments. However, most of the controversy surrounding the plant has to do with its use as a recreational drug.
Marijuana is commonly used by patients undergoing chemotherapy. It seems that Cannabis is highly effective in combating the nausea and vomiting that typically attend this invasive therapy. Common prescription medicines cause unpleasant side effects such as dizziness, hallucinations and hypotension. Patients suffering with appetite problems, such as HIV / AIDS sufferers, also use Cannabis to stimulate their appetites. This is a common side effect of Cannabis.
There can be little doubt that Marijuana is highly effective in relieving pain. Terminally ill patients experiencing chronic pain often use it for relief, but many other patients also use it for the same purpose. In addition, multiple sclerosis patients are given Cannabis to treat the problem of spasticity. Ten different countries have approved Cannabis for use in these circumstances.
Hemp has also been used widely as part of the religious ceremonies of various cultures. The Jushi culture, for example, has been using it at least 2700 years ago. Many graves of this period have been found to contain substantial quantities of Marijuana. In modern times, the Rastafarians adamantly persist that they need Cannabis in order to practice their religion.
Marijuana can be consumed in many different ways, although the most common method seems to be smoking or vaporizing. When smoking it, a variety of implements such as bongs or pipes are employed. Some people prefer to role a cigarette, called a joint and others even smoke it by using homemade pipes made from apples or other fruits. Vaporizing the plant and then simply inhaling the fumes have also proved to be popular.
Many users prefer to eat or drink their Marijuana. This is especially popular in environments where smoking is not allowed or when in situations where some members of the company will frown upon the use of Cannabis. There are numerous recipes for cookies, muffins and other foods that contain Cannabis. The main disadvantage is that it takes longer to achieve the desired effect.
It seems that the use of Cannabis will remain a contentious issue for some time. Detractors are adamant that it is a drug that almost certainly leads to other, more dangerous drugs. Others maintain that it is harmless and that it has many positive uses in society. It seems unlikely that these differences of opinion will be solved any time soon.
