The leaves of coca have 3 longitudinal veins, and the middle one will appear reddish-brown on the back of the leaf. To say that it is unique is not very prominent, but the personality of coca leaves is not in the appearance but in its connotation. Speaking of "Coca Cola", it is a drink that too many people's eyes immediately light up as soon as they hear it, and the refreshing energy of a bottle of ice cola in summer instantly disintegrates with a full of energetic "Hiccup~" heat and boredom.

Study: The increased purity of cannabis is leading to more and more people receiving medication

The latest research shows that the increased strength of cannabis effects is an important reason why more and more people are taking medication. Scientists at King's College London looked at Dutch data and found that when coffee shops sell high-strength cannabis, the number of visits to specialist treatment centres increases. Conversely, the number of consultations will decrease. The study is the first to explore the link between the strength of marijuana consumed by smokers and changes in the number of people receiving medication. The study found that medical needs change only after 5 to 7 years of changing the strength of marijuana. Tom Freeman, an addiction scientist at King's College London, said: "The study is the first to link cannabis strength to its associated medical outcomes and provides evidence of this. ” In recent years, more and more people have smoked marijuana instead of other illegal substances, and more and more people have been hospitalized for marijuana...

Why did the U.S. government legalize marijuana?

According to the data, more than 50 million Americans have used drugs or abused psychotropic substances in the past year. The drug epidemic brings a series of social problems. The analysis believes that multiple factors such as interest groups, bureaucracy, partisan struggle, and social culture in the United States are intertwined, leading to the intensification of the drug problem. Data released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention a few days ago shows that the number of deaths due to drug overdose in the United States is growing rapidly. Between September 2020 and September 2021, about 104,000 Americans died from drug use, compared to 52,000 in 2015. Bobby Mukamara, president of the board of directors of the American Medical Association, called on the U.S. government to take action to revise regulations that lead to drug abuse, "or more people will die and more families will suffer avoidable tragedies." "America's drug epidemic is more deadly than e...

The history of hemp: from fiber, to medicine Indian hemp complex

Hemp is native to central Asia and was first cultivated in large quantities in China more than 6,000 years ago. Hemp is a high-value crop with a variety of uses, and in addition to extracting addictive products, products include edible oil, edible hemp seeds, livestock feed, and hemp fiber. Chinese hemp fiber is used to make ropes, fishing nets, and clothing materials for the common people—because silk fabrics are only affordable for the wealthy. Because of its versatility and resilience – it can be grown in a variety of climate zones from sea level to altitudes above 3,000 metres above sea level – it is bound to become a widely cultivated crop. The psychoactive effects of cannabis are valued in many societies, with India being the most important. As early as 2000 BC to 1400 BC, there are records of cannabis medicine in ancient Indian books. Ancient cannabis medicine was made from dried leaves, seeds and stems of wild or cultivated male and female cannabis plants, usually mixed with su...

Marijuana relaxes and increases libido China and India have long experienced

According to the 《Daily Mail 》on June 19, some experts say marijuana can increase sexual desire in some people, but some varieties of marijuana also have some potential harms. In our culture, marijuana is a drug that suppresses nausea, treats nerve pain, and makes people emotionally high. However, marijuana has another use: an aphrodisiac. The use of cannabis in India and China dates back to the seventh century AD. Although there is no specific research on the relationship between marijuana and sexual desire, sex therapists say the drug can help partners relax, eliminate anxiety and make sex more pleasurable.

Doctors in different countries recommend using marijuana to increase libido, but scientists have only recently begun to study whether the method works. A November 2017 study by Stanford University found that women and men who smoke marijuana daily ar...

There is still a lot you don't know about marijuana

Why is marijuana used as a drug by some people, while others feel happy and relaxed when they smoke it? Why is the composition and effects of natural hemp so different from synthetic hemp... The components contained in cannabis flowers are collectively known as cannabinoids, and the most common components are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Different cannabis flower species contain different concentrations of THC and cannabidiol. In contrast, cannabidiol has higher medicinal value, and THC is the main component that causes mood changes. Many professionals' worries about cannabis are actually mainly from the strong effect of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Generally, the concentrated cannabinoids after extraction, some are put into brownies, biscuits and other foods, and the more refined ones are called "cannabis wax" (wax), which may contain 100% pure THC. Of course, what is more worrying is the synthetic cannabinoid, also known as K2, Spice, Genie, psychede...

Cannabis: a rapidly maturing industry

Cannabis, an annual flowering plant, is native to Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. The plant has psychoactive (affecting spirit) properties and is used for industrial, recreational and medical purposes. The three most common types are Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica and wild cannabis. Marijuana grows in hotter climates, with longer days and plenty of sunshine. Therefore, it first appeared in countries near the equator, such as Colombia, Mexico and Thailand. These plants are generally 8-12 feet long and have long, thin, fingerlike leaves that help them capture as much sunlight as possible. They take a long time to grow, but the yield is high, so planting is rewarding. They bloom in autumn, when the nights are longer and they die soon after flowering. The bud of Indian hemp is loose, not dense and light. Because of its main psychoactive compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Indian hemp is described as having a refreshing or uplifting effect when eaten. Indian hemp originated in ...

Germany wants to be the first country in Europe to do so! Marijuana legalization

On October 26, 2022, Germany came out with plans on legalizing marijuana, a move the Scholz government said would make Germany the second EU country to legalize cannabis after Malta. The German federal cabinet approved a proposal by Health Minister Karl Lauterbach to regulate the sale and consumption of marijuana by adults for recreational purposes, Reuters reported on the 26th. The document proposes to allow adults 18 and older to purchase and possess 20 to 30 grams of marijuana for personal consumption and to allow individuals to cultivate marijuana to a limited extent. In addition, the government would introduce a special excise tax and develop marijuana-related education and abuse prevention programs. To Lauterbach, legalizing marijuana is a way to protect children and young people. "This law will reduce consumption, especially among young people," he tweeted. Lauterbach said about 4 million people consumed marijuana in Germany last year, 25 percent of whom were between t...
