Benefits of Cannabis

Cannabis has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. It contains compounds called cannabinoids, which interact with receptors in the body's endocannabinoid system, resulting in various effects. The most well-known cannabinoid is THC, which produces the psychoactive effects associated with marijuana use. However, there are other cannabinoids such as CBD and CBG which does not produce a high and is used for medicinal purposes.

 

Benefits of cannabis use:

 

•    Pain relief: Cannabis has been used as a pain reliever for centuries. It can help alleviate chronic pain and reduce inflammation.

 

• Anxiety and depression: Cannabis can help reduce anxiety and depression by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in the brain.
