Not so long ago, the question of legalizing hemp in some countries of the world was raised. The main motivation is the relative harmlessness of the effects of canabinol compared to alcohol and nicotine. Let's try to consider canabinol itself. What is it and why is it used, is it good or bad.
Canabinol is the substance that made hemp the most common, conditionally mild drug. Just like the other 60 narcotic components of this plant, it contributes to some mental disorders. Start over.
Canabinol was previously used in most cases for medicinal purposes as an anesthetic, anticonvulsant. Now the substance is included in the list of narcotic substances and is prohibited in most countries of the world. Permission for free use (by prescription) is granted only to patients suffering from pain caused by cancer. Kanabinol reduces sensitivity to the complications caused by chemotherapy, in particular, to pain.
The content of canabinol in hemp usually ranges from 5% to 12%. The highest content of the narcotic substance is in the flowers of the plant ("little buds"). Despite the fact that the effect of smoking the usual top (canabinol content of 5%) and a dried flower has a rather different effect, the effect on the body is the same. Equally irreversible and negative. The harm of canabinol to the human body requires a more detailed examination.
How canabinol actually works
The drug molecule, namely its composition, is incredibly similar to adipose tissue. And since fat cells are the main protection of brain matter from the effects of toxins, canabinol acts on the principle of a Trojan horse. Unhindered entry into the brain allows direct action. It is because of deep penetration that the drug is excreted from the body for so long (about 40 days). The harm of canabinol lies precisely in its long withdrawal. Most people who use this drug can’t stand a pause of 40 days, and the harmful substance begins to accumulate. The highest concentration is observed in the brain, namely in the areas responsible for memory and emotions. Now it is not difficult to understand why canabinol is dangerous. Man is just getting stupid.
The harm of canabinol in its gradual accumulation. Here is a sample list of negative consequences of this:
- violation of short-term memory ;
- mental disorders. Many people know about canabinol that it is a great drug for those who like to laugh. But after the end of the action of the narcotic substance, a sharp decline in mood is observed. This is the reason for the repeated use of the drug. Some kind of addiction still arises. Just in a not quite familiar form;
- smoking a drug cannot but have a negative effect on lung tissue. And although smoking regular cigarettes is significantly higher in terms of cancer, this does not mean at all that hemp is not harmful;
- decrease in the functions of the reproductive system, both in women and in men. And the point is not that “I don’t feel like it”, over time even the young body is already completely “unable”;
- decrease in concentration. Becoming “seeded-scattered from Basseinaya Street” is much easier than many people realize;
- lack of interest in everyday life.
Consumers say about canabinol that this narcotic substance is almost harmless. Like, cigarettes, and especially alcohol, are much more harmful. Of course, there is some truth in these words. But the approach itself is incorrect. With this consideration, from two or more evils, the most convenient for self-justification is selected. But doctors and scientists quite clearly described all the consequences of taking this substance and proved many times - canabinol, what kind of drug it is, therefore it was ranked among the prohibited substances.
