Different Health Benefits of Cannabis

Cannabis is a plant with psychoactive properties. There are three types of plants classified under Cannabis – Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis. Its flowers are harvested, dried, and then processed into an array of products. The main compounds extracted from cannabis are CBD and THC.

Regardless, the plant is known to have more than 400 chemicals. The effect each product has on your body is based on the quantity of THC in it. Mostly, the THC percentage ranges from about 15% to 28%. Each cannabis product that you consume gives you different types of gains.

​Relaxation


Cannabis is known to have chemical properties that give your body a relaxing effect. How fast you feel the effect depends on the type of product you take and your body type. Pills can take a little longer compared to THC vape pens which produce vapor that you inhale directly into your bloodstream. You can consume cannabis when you feel stressed, and you want your mind to feel relaxed and focus on an important issue.

Gives you a high effect

The main psychoactive chemical in cannabis is THC. It is the chemical that gives you a high effect once you consume it. Most of the products that make you feel high have more than 20% THC. After consumption, it takes about 15 minutes to feel the effect. Products that are vaped or smoked take less time. The high effect can last for more than two hours, but the chemical can stay in your bloodstream for several more days. If you desire to feel high, make sure you order products with a higher THC amount from the Hub420.shop.

Helps in brain development

Research has shown that cannabis helps in brain development. A study was conducted recently involving a group of adolescents. Some of the subjects were allowed to use cannabis throughout the study period. The results showed that those who were using cannabis regularly showed better brain development than those who didn’t use it. The report says that users should not exceed the recommended dose. Those who exceeded showed problems in their mental health at different levels.

Helps prevent anxiety

Anxiety is a disorder that makes you have mixed feelings. Its main symptoms include feelings of:

  • Nervousness
  • Restlessness
  • Tense
  • Fearfulness
  • Problems focusing, thinking, or doing chores
  • You may have difficulties with breathing

These are problems that can put your life at risk, but they can be prevented by the use of cannabis. When you use cannabis with higher levels of CBD, it increases the amount of anandamide in your body. Your neurotransmitters also become active. Anandamide helps elevate your mood, and neurotransmitters help to soothe your nerves and muscles. Your body feels relaxed as a result, and the level of anxiety goes down.

Recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction

Drug and alcohol addiction affects your brain. Your behaviors change, and you can no longer control yourself from using them. You could lose your job because you can no longer be productive, and your health is affected too. The best way to overcome addiction is to get help from rehab. When going through the rehabilitation program, you may find yourself lapsing, and you feel the craving again. The use of cannabis can help you stop the craving so that you complete your rehabilitation process.

Better focus and creativity

Cannabis can help you stay focused and creative. The effect is caused by THC, which makes you feel jovial and energetic. The chemical helps you think broadly and outside of the box as you explore different ways to accomplish a project, design, composition, or any other thing. THC helps you feel relaxed, in a good mood, and strong.

Due to this, you can explore and exhaust all possible solutions. You also focus on the issue at hand until the time you get a tangible solution. Cannabis works differently in different people. The level of creativity and focus you experience might not be the same as the next person.

Conclusion

Cannabis provides different gains. Many people use the products because they want to feel high. Some people use it to treat various types of conditions. It helps improve your creativity, focus, and relaxation and reduces stress levels.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
