It has two main components:
CBD, with potential therapeutic uses (and also limitations).
THC, responsible for the “high”… but also for dizziness, drops in blood pressure and loss of control.
THC can affect mental health, learning, and increase the risk of dependence, especially with frequent use. In addition, today’s cannabis contains much more THC than it did decades ago, which increases that risk. The body and mind adapt to consumption, and that’s why quitting isn’t always so easy. In fact, 1 in 10 people develop dependence, and if consumption is daily, the risk rises to 1 in 3.
