Some Basic Facts Of Marijuana and Cannabis

by John Smith Learner

Marijuana does not have a specific drug class, but is legally considered a Schedule 1 drug by the Drug Enforcement Administration. This means that it is defined as having a high potential for abuse, and its use is not medically acceptable. Several states (15 of which currently include Arizona) disagree and have laws on the books legalizing marijuana for medical use.

Low-grade marijuana contains 1 to 3 percent delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and is usually sold recreationally. THC is widely recognized as the most active psychoactive agent in marijuana. High-quality marijuana, known as sansmilla, contains between 7 and 8 percent THC, and hemp has between 7 and 20 percent. The most concentrated form of marijuana is hash oil, which can contain up to 70% THC!

Common terms for marijuana include:

chilled, pot, weed, hemp, herb, old man, blanche, weed, cinquemilla, bang, hemp, tar, hemp, hash oil, chronic, and dag.

How it feels:

The human experience of smoking marijuana varies greatly from individual to individual. A relaxed and elated feeling usually within a few minutes, followed by fainting and sleepiness for about half an hour. Periods of joyful, contemplative silence are often interspersed. Marijuana, whether quality or cannabis, takes longer to kick in. There is a high propensity for hallucinogenic reactivity. Learning and memory functions can be affected long after other effects have worn off. It takes some time for the brain to clear marijuana (and its metabolites), so cognitive function can be affected for more than a day after smoking or taking a single dose.

No fatal marijuana overdoses have been reported. A large dose may make a person feel scared or anxious. Although overdose has not been observed, it affects judgment and complex coordination. Therefore, the biggest concern with marijuana is the impact on driving skills and therefore accidents and/or serious errors of judgment. Marijuana increases heart rate and puts more strain on the heart. It may also be an interaction with heart or blood pressure medications, but much more research is needed to clarify the details. One study showed that marijuana combined with cocaine can cause fatal heart problems.

The hemp plant reflects all the psychoactive properties of marijuana. Tetra-hydrocannabinol (THC) was found in the internal organs of an Egyptian mummy in 950 BC. By the 1840s, marijuana was often used to fuel the creativity of French artists and intellectuals. Native European explorers brought hemp to the Americas to make rope and cloth. It wasn't until the early twentieth century that marijuana began to have a direct impact on American society.
