Why hasn't more research been done? One reason is that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) considers marijuana a Schedule I drug, the same as heroin, LSD, and ecstasy, and likely to be abused and lacking in medical value. Because of that, researchers need a special license to study it, says Marcel Bonn-Miller, PhD, a substance abuse specialist at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine.That may not change anytime soon. The DEA considered reclassifying marijuana as a Schedule II drug like Ritalin or oxycodone, but decided to keep it as a Schedule I drug.
The rules vary, depending on where you live. Generally, you’ll need to consult with a doctor and have a condition that your state has approved for treatment with cannabis. You might get an ID card. In some areas, you buy products at a specific store called a dispensary.Doctors don’t know much about the addiction risk for people who use the drug for medical reasons, and it needs more study. But people who use marijuana to get high can go on to have substance misuse issues. The most common problem is dependence. If you’re dependent, you’ll feel withdrawal symptoms if you stop using. If you’re addicted -- a more severe problem -- you’re unable to go without the drug.
Looking to tap into your creative side (or just get out of a rut)? Consider these.Chocolope tends to have a more moderate amount of THC than some of the stronger sativas on this list, giving it slightly more relaxed effects than some of the stronger strains included here.Super Silver Haze has a winning reputation, earning first prize at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1997, 1998, and 1999. It’s also well loved for its creativity-inducing effects, along with a sense of calm.This energizing, pure sativa is considered by many people a go-to for getting creative juices flowing. It’s the opposite of sedating, with many saying it’s the most energizing strain they’ve tried.
Zaza Runtz Strains“It doesn’t directly stimulate the cannabinoid receptors in the brain and nervous system the way THC does, so it doesn’t cause a high, but it does affect a lot of the other receptors and can help with sleep, insomnia, and pain,” he says. The problem is since the FDA doesn’t regulate CBD, it’s hard to know exactly what you’re getting and whether the sample is pure. “There are a lot of variants in the composition of products sold as CBD, including the constitution, the formulation, and how it’s intended to be used—topically applied, inhaled, swallowed. And all of those different variations can produce different outcomes,” Dr. Vandrey says. “While it’s relatively safe, there’s accumulating evidence that it can have really significant drug interactions with certain other medications,” he says. The bottom line is, if you have any health conditions, before you use CBD, talk to your doctor, Dr. Vandrey says What Is Hemp? Hemp is a term used to categorize cannabis containing 0.3% THC concentration or less. Hemp is not something new. It has been used for thousands of years to make things like rope, clothing, building materials, paper, and even food. There was no controversy around it. That is until 1937 when it became illegal along with marijuana. (The two plants looked so similar, federal agents couldn’t tell them apart, so both just became illegal). In 2018 The Agriculture Improvement Act (aka The Farm Bill) legalized hemp again in all 50 states. Today you can find hemp everything from pasta and iced tea to personal care products, nutritional supplements, and clothes.
The strain you choose depends on what effect you desire. As mentioned earlier, cannabis has a range of medical uses, but some strains are better for certain conditions than others.It’s also worth researching the potential adverse effects of the strain. Many of the more common strains, which you can find below, list dry mouth, dry eyes, and dizziness as possible side effects. Marijuana also has the potential to interact with medications you might be taking. Do not operate machinery when using marijuana.
