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.
Nobody denies the fact that Cannabis, which originates from Central and East Asia, has many uses other than that of recreational drug. It is this use of the plant that causes so much debate. However, the plant is also used to create a particularly strong fiber called hemp. It also has a very long history as a medicinal plant. It is said to cure or relieve many different diseases.
One of the most common uses of Cannabis as a medical herb is to help patients receiving chemotherapy to battle nausea and vomiting. Several studies have concluded that that using the herb is more effective than using the standard prescription medicines which can lead to unpleasant side effects such as altered moods, dizziness and even hypotension. Cannabis stimulates the appetite and is therefore also often given to patients suffering from HIV.
Cannabis is also commonly used for relieving chronic pain, including pain resulting from rheumatism. It is also interesting to note that Marijuana has been approved in ten countries for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Patients report fast and significant relief from spasticity. A number of studies have found that the use of Cannabis for these patients will not lead to problems with tolerance or addiction.
Cannabis is not only used for medicinal purposes. Evidence has been found that it has been used in religious ceremonies as far as 2700 years ago. The Jushi culture used it as an aid to divination. There is also ample evidence that it has been used extensively as part of religious ceremonies in the east. Nowadays, the Rastafarian movement claims that Cannabis is an essential part of 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.
While critics remain convinced that Cannabis is a drug that should be banned for all purposes, users and some academics argue that it has many useful applications. Comparative studies are not conclusive and the jury is still out on the question of whether it should be legalized or not. Only time will tell.
