Social opportunity There are major medical applications of cannabis particularly in relations to terminal illnesses where the conventional treatments are proven as rather inadequate. There are testimonies of patients in Australia claiming the effectiveness or potential effectiveness of medical cannabis in providing relief for multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, asthma, cancer and chronic pain. Effectiveness of medical cannabis is dependence upon its cultivation, preparation and method of consumption. According to research, cannabinoids mainly, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the chemical elements that provide medical use. THC distinct from CBD, may have psychoactive effects and it is the only cannabinoid that can be used for…
The way marijuana works is somewhat unique chemicals in marijuana also called cannabinoids. Cannabinoids indirectly increase dopamine by blocking the action of another neurotransmitter called GABA. GABA typically acts to inhibit the amount of dopamine released in the nucleus accumbens. Though, when GABA is blocked by marijuana compounds, the outcome is an increasing amount of dopamine released.…

Unlike marijuana, hemp has a minimal amount of THC, the chemical that produces a high when marijuana is eaten or inhaled. According to the North American Industrial Hemp Council, industrial hemp contains roughly 0.5-1% THC. By contrast, marijuana may contain anywhere from 3% to 25% THC. Hemp does contain high levels of CBD, a chemical that does not produce any mind-altering effects and, in fact, is thought to antagonize or block the psychoactive effects of THC. CBD is thought to provide many benefits to the immune system, nervous system, and other bodily systems, making it a valuable compound in its own right.…
In combination with other cannabinoids, Cannabichromene helps people with depression, inflammation, and tumors. While being one of the more well known about cannabinoids, much more research needs to be done on cancer cells and tumor growths. What cannabis strains are high in CBC? The CBC cannabinoid is a common and abundant phytocannabinoid. CBG is the precursor to CBC by a natural…
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the major non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plants marijuana and hemp. CBD does not cause a high in users, and has the ability to counteract some of the negative effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Numerous studies have been done that investigates the medicinal or therapeutic benefits to be had from CBD, and many shows promise in demonstrating that CBD has inflammatory, anticonvulsant, anti-oxidant, anti-emetic, anxiolytic and antipsychotic properties. Source https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22625422 Research has shown that CBD has the potential to treat numerous health conditions, such as, epilepsy, pain and inflammation, vomiting and nausea, anxiety, and cancer, among others. While the greatest area…
Maria Roberta Cilo, MD, Ph.D., principal investigator for the multi-center study and director of research at the UCSF Pediatric Epilepsy Center says, "Better treatment for children with uncontrolled seizures is desperately needed" (Bunim). Researchers have found a type of marijuana called Charlotte 's Web that has almost no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which makes those who do smoke marijuana have that high feeling. However, Charlotte 's Web contains a cannabinoid (CBD) which does not give a high feeling or have any known side effects like a weed with THC in it. A young girl named Charlotte had this type of cannabinoid named after her because this certain type of cannabis helped cut her seizures to nearly having none per day; however, if it weren 't for this type of marijuana Charlotte would still be experiencing seizures every thirty minutes if not dead.…
Imagine a young child with a medical condition suffering from over one hundred seizures a day. The seizures hinder the child from reaching normal milestones like walking or talking. This child is someone’s grandchild, son/daughter, or niece/nephew. Exhausted from failed prescription medications to control the seizure activity, it is clear and evident that there must be an alternative solution. The alternative answer is medical cannabis oil.…
“Flower buds of marijuana plants typically contain 5% to 25% of THC by dry weight, Levine said. By contrast, the hemp harvested to make foods and other products has buds with 0.3% THC content”… with sufficiently low THC levels that they produce no psychoactive effect in humans, manufacturers say. No one 's getting high on this stuff…”(Carey). Carey’s argument base on the idea that people tend to believe hemp is same as the addictive drug—marijuana. Statistically, this quote clearly shows the huge different concentration percentage of THC contains…
Scientists have identified many cannabinoids, or biologically active components within the plant, that may have benefits to health and disease treatment. The two most studied are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (often referred to as THC), and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is the part of the plant that gives the user a “high” feeling. It has also been found to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and act as an antioxidant.…

Abstract: The controversy in medicinal marijuana is investigated. The research question that drives this paper is the effects of medicinal marijuana on patients, where personal view or opinion do not take part in. Both sides of the controversy were considered with most discussed topics supported by two scientific experiments for each claim. Two experiments that strengthened the claim were: an experiment on a specific tumor cell (glioma) incubated with cannabinoids, and another experiment where the analgesic effect of synergistic interaction between cannabinoids and opioids was investigated.…
It can be smoked in hand rolled joints, pipes, bongs, or blunts, which are emptied cigars refilled with marijuana. Many people extract and concentrate the THC, and use it with a vaporizer.
