CANNABIS

The science behind super-strength skunk

Most of the cannabis that is sold illegally in the UK has a higher risk of psychotic mental health episodes.

Cannabis is a very powerful drug because contain Cannabigerol, that compounds three other substances. Two are really important because their impact on users: Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC because is linked to the risk of mental health issues and Cannabidol or CBD that acts as an anti-psychotic and counteracts some of the negative effects of THC.

Every cannabis plant produces THC and CBD but in high potency cannabis all the material is used to make THC. The mental health problems are linked to both substances but cannabis with high levels of THC can lead psychiatric issues.

Unlike THC, is known that CBD can protect users against some effects of cannabis, such as memory impairment.

There are three types of cannabis product. In the first place, in hash the CBD levels are higher than TCH. Therefore, herbal cannabis doesn’t contain CBD at all. Finally, high potency cannabis contains high levels of TCH.

The most sold in UK is the high potency cannabis that represents 94% of the market.

Concurrently, cannabis has positive benefits. It’s been the best treatment for Crohns disease and recently researchers are looking at how cannabis’ compounds can help treat other diseases.

In my point of view, drugs are very dangerous substances and it’s obvious that can affect our health negatively. All the users should know the consequences of the consumption. Most of the users of marijuana are consuming because they think is beneficial but it’s still a drug and drugs always damage.
