Things You Didn't Know About Medical Marijuana


 
Health
There are many myths and fact about medical marijuana that have been rampant over the years, and spawned a multitude of debates.

Here are a couple of myths and fact about medical marijuana that you probably didn’t know.

Fact 1. It’s primary cannabinoids THC and CBD are both cancer killers This is one of the most controversial myths and fact about medical marijuana. This refers not to how marijuana manages the effects of cancer, but that there has been evidence to suggest that it has anti-cancer effects. According to a study conducted in Spain, marijuana's psychoactive ingredient THC is said to kill brain cancer cells. During the study, cancer cells were killed while healthy cells were left alone when THC was applied to cancerous brain tissue. A study conducted in California claim that CBD too has the ability to curb metastasis in many kinds of aggressive cancer.

Fact 2. It triggers neurogenesis and leads to brain cell growth For years we have been hearing the statement that marijuana kills brain cells. This is one of the most commonly debated myths and fact about medical marijuana, but one that lacks any credible evidence. In fact, recent studies have suggested exactly the opposite to be true. In 2005, a study was conducted to show cannabinoids' ability to promote neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus. The hippocampus the region of the brain that is responsible for important brain functions such as memory and mood. Anti-depressant and anti-anxiety effects that accompany the neurogenesis were also cited. Marijuana is said to be a mood-enhancer, one that is more natural than any kind of prescription drugs, and are widely used by people who reside in marijuana-friendly states. It is also said that marijuana helps to improve cognitive function in patients suffering from bipolar disorders.

Fact 3. Areas where medical marijuana is available report lower suicide rates. When it comes to the many myths and fact, this one probably has some of the most divided opinions. According to a Denver state-level study, the statistical trend of suicide after the introduction of medical marijuana was analyzed and the results revealed that when a medical marijuana law was passed in a certain area, it was associated with an almost 5% reduction in total suicide rate, an 11% reduction in the suicide rate of age 20-29 males, and a 9% reduction in the suicide rate of 30-39 males.

Fact 4. There are two types of marijuana, both having completely different effects on the user One of the most common myths and fact about medical marijuana is believing that there is only one kind. There are people who try it for the first time and claim that it is not for them. But the truth is that maybe that kind was not for them, but the other kind was. There are hundreds of strains of marijuana, having names such as OG Kush, Blue Dream, Pineapple or Trainwreck. Each have different uses and effects.
