"Marijuana" - YES or NO?


Okay my friends . . .


So, this week . . . let's talk about a controversial topic . . . and clear the air . . .


Because . . . I get asked this question "ALL" the time . . .


Is "Marijuana" . . . good or bad for us???


Well . . . let's break it down to better understand . . .


First up . . . what is "Marijuana"???


Well . . . Marijuana or Cannabis . . . is a drug and preparation from the Cannabis plant.


It contains "psychoactive" compounds like . . . THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) . . . and non-intoxicating CBD (Cannabidiol).


And the term . . . "marijuana" . . . refers to the "dried" flowers and leaves of that plant . . . that can be used by smoking, vaporizing or consuming in food.


And it's also known as . . .


Weed, Pot, 420, Bhang, Grass, Green, Hashish, Holy weed, Joint, KGB, Pakalolo and Reefer . . . just to mention a few . . .


Now . . . "marijuana" for RECREATIONAL purposes . . . has been used for thousands of years . . . dating back to at least the 3rd millennium BCE.


And they used it in "steam baths" for enjoyment!!!


Now . . . "marijuana" for SPIRITUAL purposes . . . dates back to 1500-2500 BCE and was used in religious ceremonies . . .


And "marijuana" for "MEDICAL" purposes . . . is rooted from China, India and Egypt . . . and dated back to the 3rd century AD.


And was introduced into Western medicine in the 1830s.


Now . . . "recreationally" . . . it wasn't "widespread" in American until "alcohol" was banned during the Prohibition Era in 1920 - 1933.


And the next question would be . . . what's the difference between "recreational" . . . and . . . "medical" marijuana???


Well . . . the only difference is . . . the purpose, regulation and formulation of this drug.


"Recreational" use . . . is for enjoyment/relaxation . . . and often has a higher THC potency.


Whereas . . . "Medicinal" use . . . must have a doctor's recommendation and/or a state-issued card.


And is used to treat specific, often chronic health conditions . . .


With "medical" products . . . favoring CBD/THC strains,


Okay . . . so, tomorrow . . . let's dig a little deep and answer some more questions . . .
