Medicine and cannabis
Medicine and cannabis is a topic that is becoming increasingly relevant, as the use of cannabis for medical purposes is being actively discussed in many countries around the world. Some studies suggest the potential benefits of cannabis for treating various diseases, but there are also questions about safety, dosage and long-term effects.
Medical uses of cannabis
Cannabis contains over 100 different cannabinoids, but two of them are the most studied and used for medical purposes:
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a psychoactive component that causes a feeling of euphoria, but also has pain-relieving and antispasmodic properties.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive component that does not cause a "high" but has anti-inflammatory, anti-stress and anxiolytic properties.
Methods of medical use of cannabis
Medical cannabis in the form of oils and extracts - usually has a high content of cannabidiol (CBD), which allows to reduce the number of side effects, such as the psychoactive effects of THC.
Inhalation (vaping) - cannabis can be smoked or vaporized, which gives a quick effect, but is not the most recommended method for long-term treatment.
Capsules or tablets - cannabis in the form of tablets or capsules can be useful for patients who want to avoid inhalation or want a precise dosage.
Creams and ointments - can be used for local treatment of pain, spasms or inflammation.
