In this section you will find detailed information about the drugs in Cannabis plants as well as how they work in the body. There is much these days in the way of literature regarding the biochemical action of these cannabinoids in the brain, central nervous system and periphery. Medical and scientific studies, research, glossaries of terms and more are available here in addition to helpful links. The physical effect of each type of plant is detailed here, explaining just how different varieties of Cannabis impart varying outcomes for the consumer.
One especially important part of this section is our endo-cannabinoid file, which explains how endogenous (naturally occurring in the body) cannabinoids work and what happens when they are deficient. This research is important because it helps the medical community to understand how Cannabis may be used most efficiently when treating patients. Different medical conditions require specific cannabinoids in certain ratios and, therefore, different varieties of plants.
The trichomes of Cannabis plants are the resin glands in which the cannabinoids are suspended in a sort of oil. These structures are found on the female pistils of the plant and serve to protect the flowers as well as aiding in wind-pollination of the species. Trichomes are the only parts of the plant that produce drug effects. We also maintain files of information discussing the psychological effects of the plant, as not everyone’s biochemistry supports drug use. Please inform yourself as much as possible.
Drug testing information is also included considering that many employers worldwide do require some form of pre-work screening. Cannabis is metabolized at a slightly different rate in each of our bodies, and in some countries even residue of the plant in one’s system is enough to break the law, especially if you are driving a vehicle at the time. As with our entire site if you have information that you think will be a good supplement to the site please do not hesitate to contact us.
