What is "cannabis"?
Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a plant that is used for its mood-changing and medicinal qualities. The active substances in cannabis include THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). THC is responsible for the drug's mind-changing effects, which can include feelings of extreme joy and excitement, a change in one's sense of time, and increased sensory experiences. CBD, on the other hand, does not cause mood changes and is often used for its potential health benefits, such as reducing pain, inflammation, and anxiety. Some countries allow cannabis for medicinal or personal use, while in other countries it is illegal. Potential side effects of cannabis use include memory issues, problems with judgment, and, in some cases, anxiety or paranoia.
