For the record, on the record and to let the record reflect, Cannabis is one of the most powerful plants on the planet. The plant has an innumerable amount of medicinal uses. There is no disputing the wonders of this natural miracle. This article is not for or against smoking marijuana. Our goal is to share a balanced perspective and provide some information that you may or may not have known. Smoking marijuana, also known as cannabis, can have a number of potential health effects. Some of these effects may be beneficial, while others may be harmful.
One potential benefit of smoking marijuana is that it may help to alleviate certain medical conditions, such as chronic pain, nausea, and muscle spasms. Studies have also suggested that marijuana may be useful in treating conditions such as glaucoma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and multiple sclerosis (MS).
However, smoking marijuana can also have a number of negative effects on one's health. One of the main concerns is that smoking marijuana can lead to lung damage, just like smoking tobacco does. This is because the smoke from marijuana contains many of the same harmful chemicals as tobacco smoke. Additionally, smoking marijuana can lead to chronic bronchitis and other respiratory problems, as well as an increased risk of lung infections. Of course, this is not the case for everyone but it is common.
Smoking marijuana can also have an impact on mental health. It can lead to increased risk of developing mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis, especially in people who are predisposed to such conditions. Many people have reported to having cognitive impairments, such as problems with memory and attention. Another concern is that smoking marijuana is a gateway to addiction. Though people deny this fact, very few people can stop smoking marijuana "cold-turkey" tomorrow if they had to. Why? Because long-term marijuana use typically leads to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability, insomnia, and loss of appetite.
It's also important to note that marijuana is still illegal in many countries and states, possessing, using or distributing marijuana may lead to legal problems and criminal records. It may also have negative effects on social and occupational functioning.
In conclusion, smoking marijuana can have a number of potential health effects, both positive and negative. While it may be beneficial for treating certain medical conditions, it can also lead to a number of negative effects on one's health, including lung damage, mental health issues, and addiction. It's important for individuals to be aware of these risks and to make informed decisions about marijuana use. If someone does choose to use marijuana, it is important to do so responsibly and in consultation with a healthcare professional. Weed (aka marijuana) is being grown in abundance which raises the concern of quality. Due to the commercialization and legalization of the plant there's more probability that the same thing that has happened with the food industry is happening in the cannabis industry. That's right ...... GMO Marijuana. If you're going to be smoking a plant or consuming it for medicinal purposes it almost defeats the purpose if you're not getting the organic true article. Be diligent and vigilant in where you purchase.
HEALTHIER OPTIONS
Cannabis oil, also known as CBD oil, is a concentrated extract of the cannabis plant that is taken orally or applied topically. Unlike smoking marijuana, cannabis oil does not involve inhaling smoke or vapor, which may make it a healthier option for some individuals.
Cannabis oil can be made from both the marijuana plant and the hemp plant, which is a strain of the cannabis plant that has a very low THC content (the psychoactive compound in marijuana) and a high CBD content (the non-psychoactive compound in marijuana). CBD oil made from hemp is legal in many countries as it contains less than 0.3% of THC, while marijuana-derived CBD oil is legal in some states where marijuana is legal.
Cannabis oil can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including pain, anxiety, depression, and seizures. CBD oil has been found to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which can be helpful in managing chronic pain. CBD also has been found to have a calming effect on the central nervous system, making it effective in treating anxiety and depression. It has also been found to be effective in treating seizures and other neurological conditions.
Cannabis oil is also a popular alternative to smoking marijuana due to its method of consumption. It can be taken orally, applied topically, or inhaled through a vaporizer, which may be less harmful to the lungs than smoking.

This does not mean that cannabis oil is perfect and without risk! People who take cannabis oil may experience side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness, and drowsiness. It can also interact with other medications and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
For the sake of not heating the plant and changing the chemical structure of marijuana we recommend the juicing of the plant via adding it to a green smoothie, eating it (taste isn't so great) or simply just using the oil, The oil is a concentrated extract of the cannabis plant that can be taken orally, applied topically, or inhaled through a vaporizer, which may be less harmful to the lungs than smoking.
