Cannabis: Effects, Experiences, and Therapeutic Potential
Cannabis: A Mixed Bag of Effects and Experiences
Cannabis, often celebrated for its relaxing and euphoric properties, is a complex substance with varying effects based on strain, dosage, and individual physiology. Indica strains are typically sedative, while Sativa strains offer uplifting effects. The dosage significantly impacts the experience—small amounts may be mild, but higher doses, particularly of THC-rich strains, can be intense or overwhelming. Individual responses also vary, influenced by factors like tolerance, mental health, and the environment. Understanding these variables can help users approach cannabis with caution, enhancing positive experiences while minimizing negative effects.
