What is Cannabis?

Cannabis is known also as marijuana and has dated back to thousands of years. This plant, which is processed and prepared with the intention for a psychoactive drug or medicine, provides a wide variety of relief to conditions like pain, nausea, muscle spasms, seizures, etc. These medicinal benefits and psychoactive effects are derived from the female cannabis plant, not male, and have varying levels of cannabinoids in each strain.

What is the Experience Like? 

The feelings and effects of marijuana are different for everyone. Things like state of mind, environment, timing, conditions, and strain variety are all factors that play a role in how a person will feel. Although marijuana is safe, not everyone has the reaction they expect so it's best used starting in small amounts.

Over time and increased use, the effects and feelings of cannabis becoming lighter and less prevalent.

Depending on the strain and type of cannabis, users may feel: 

• Happy, giddy, fits of laughter
• Increased appetite or decreased appetite
• Skewed perception of time
• Body relaxation + reduced muscle spasms
• Euphoria
• Forgetfulness
• Drowsiness or increased energy depending on strain
• Paranoia/anxiety depending on strain and person
