THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BEING “HIGH” AND “STONED”
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The effects of marijuana are often described in terms such as "high" and "stoned". Sometimes we use them without making any distinction, whether it is the 'high' of the brain or the 'stoned' numbness of the body. In some cases, it is as good a way as any to describe the experience of confusion. Apparently this unscientific approach fails to distinguish the real differences between "high" and "stoned" because they are used to describe the same thing. Let us, therefore, take a closer look at these two terms in order to better understand their meaning. FEELINGS CAUSED BY BEING...
THE MOST IMPORTANT CANNABINOIDS AND THEIR PROPERTIES
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] While THC and CBD tend to get most of the attention, cannabis contains at least 113 different cannabinoids.

HOW LONG DOES CANNABIS STAY IN THE BODY?
In some cases, the metabolites of cannabis remain in the body long after the effects have worn off, which is a significant deterrent to smoking or ingesting any form of cannabis. In fact, cannabis has the longest traceability of any "illegal" substance, or more specifically of "Schedule I" substances - up to two months after use. The most common way to test a person for drug use is through a urine test - but there are also tests that can be done on hair, blood and saliva. Urine drug testing is less expensive and has a longer follow-up time than...
WAYS TO COMBAT CANNABIS ANXIETY
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Cannabis is one of the most popular drugs in the world. It’s also one of the most widely used psychotropic substances in Europe, Australia, NewZealand and the USA. According to the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, in the US alone, around 22.2 million people have used cannabis in the last month. This is a huge figure from all points of view. Today, legalisation is spreading to many countries and states around the world. This figure is therefore expected to rise even further. Some people use cannabis recreationally - for fun, for sleep or for relaxation. However,...
THE EFFECTS OF CANNABIS IN COMBINATION WITH ALCOHOL OR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
Never in history has the use of marijuana alone resulted in a lethal overdose. At the same time, its persistent stigmatisation has prevented its full recognition by the medical community, which has relegated it generically to the ubiquitous and characterless category of "drugs". Much has been written recently about the therapeutic potential of the cannabinoids found in the Cannabis sativa L. plant, but little time has been devoted to the effects of marijuana use in combination with alcohol and prescription drugs.
