Today we’d like to do our best to answer a question we get asked a lot - how long does Cannabis stay in your system?
CBD levels in medical cannabis are just as, if not more important than THC levels, when it comes to the treatment of certain conditions: with this in mind, which strains are best suited for medical applications?
Over the last 5-10 years cannabis has been coming into the global spotlight more and more, with campaigns for its legalisation growing at a massive rate. Many US states have made it state law that it may be prescribed by doctors for a wide variety of ailments, and others have even made it legal or decriminalised its possession for recreational use. Conversely, state law has yet to catch up with this entirely and it is still a federal felony to grow or possess cannabis. As this movement has grown in the US, other countries around the world have seen this as an opportunity to relax their own legislation on cannabis and drugs in general. Some countries have even gone as far as to decriminalise the possession of all drugs. With this tide of change in the legal status and cultural perception of drugs and, in particular, cannabis use, it does not seem unlikely that the UK government may soon follow suit and reap the social and economic advantages of the legalisation of drugs, such as the availability of medicinal cannabis.
The numerous medicinal properties of cannabis have been known for many years in various subcultures who use it as a ‘herb’ rather than a drug or narcotic substance. With this change in cultural perception it is becoming possible for the scientific community to openly delve into this once forbidden plant and verify the claims that many have made of its healing properties over the years.
A Comparison of Vaporizing versus Smoking
There's nothing wrong with smoking cannabis. In fact, it's starting to look like it may do more good than harm due to its medicinal properties.
But what about that†"harm"?†Should we just forget about it entirely?
The health risks of smoking cannabis have nothing to do with the active ingredients, or cannabinoids in the flower - it's the toxic byproducts of smoke in general.
In other words, it doesn't matter if you're burning wood, oregano or marijuana, you're going to be inhaling toxins if you inhale the smoke.
Since an early age I have known pain and agony like most people will never experience in their lifetime. In this article I will attempt to give an insight into the causes of this pain, the medication that doctors have prescribed and the effect this medication has had on my life…and why I decided to…
The healthiest way to use medical cannabis is, in a word, vaporizing. This process has its roots in Ancient Egypt. Large flat stones were heated in fires until they were glowing hot before being carefully removed and sprinkled with different types of incense, including cannabis. As there was no burning process, the vapours laden with the pungent (and in the case of cannabis, psychoactive) oils and aromas which were released were far purer and more effective than if the ingredients were burned.
Lots of evidence supporting Cannabis’ medicinal value, contrary to our Government’s claims that cannabis has no medicinal value in its herbal form.
Since the scientific discovery of the cannabis plants main cannabinoid and psychoactive compound, Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, we still know only about a handful – 60ish – named cannabinoids, and there are potentially hundreds more contained within the cannabis plant.
As the war on drugs sadly continues, there are plenty of anti-cannabis activists who spread reports, stories, data, and so on… information being fed to people worldwide telling them the horrors and dangers of this “drug” cannabis. So I decided to ask the question: is cannabis actually that addictive?
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2008, but did not begin smoking on a regular basis until 2010. Despite an initially rocky relationship with the plant, there is now no doubt for me that the so called ‘drug’ has medicinal value, not only for people with mental illnesses, but for an unspeakable amount of…
