Marijuana, also known as cannabis or pot, has a long history of human use. Most ancient cultures didn't grow the plant to get high, but as herbal medicine, it likely started in Asia around 500 BC. The history of cannabis cultivation in America dates back to the early colonists, who grew hemp for textiles and rope.
In much of the United States, the medical and recreational use of marijuana is now legal. Predictability, the use of cannabis in America has increased somewhat. Cannabis contains potent chemicals that can have severe effects on the human body and brain.
The most widely used “illicit” drug in the world is cannabis. The 2017 United Nation’s World Drug Report estimates that the number of users could be as high as 238 million worldwide. Cannabis has been known to have medicinal and psychoactive feelings since the ancient times when physicians cautioned against taking too much of it.
Using cannabis is not about picking any product that you land your eyes on and expecting everything to be all right. There are many factors that you will need to consider in order to reap the full benefits of cannabis. The kind of strain and dosage that you use are great determinants of your cannabis journey. They can make it smooth or fill it with ups and downs depending on how you use it.
