7 Cannabis Facts For The Non-Cannabis Users


 
Did you ever wonder why some states have legalized cannabis? Even though you have heard that it affects the well being of an individual! Why have some states not only allowed medical cannabis consumption but also permitted for recreational use?

Those states allow access to medical cannabis via a medical cannabis card after a thorough consultation with 420 doctors, also known as cannabis/marijuana doctors.

Cannabis has had its fair share of praise and stigma for centuries. As more and more cannabis movements are arising, some best facts about this natural herb are surfacing. You may have information on cannabis being bad for health and leading to adverse addictions and effects. This is true to some extent but there is much more about cannabis to unveil. Here are 7 interesting things to know about cannabis.

Impossible To Overdose

To date, there is no news of people dying from the overconsumption of cannabis. In fact, to die from cannabis, you have to smoke at least 20,000 to 40, 000 times the average dose of it, that too within a very short period of time. That is like smoking 75, 000 joints at a time. Yet, you will not die because you overdosed cannabis. Instead, it would be because of the carbon monoxide suffocating you.

33%Lower Rate Of Obesity

Cannabis has a bazillion of benefits. Studies show that cannabis consumption helps in blood sugar regulation. Hence, it reduces the risk of becoming obese by at least one-third. However, cannabis does increase the calorie intake of the user, but it also increases their metabolism. So, they do not gain weight. Even though a cannabis user is hungrier than before (because of munchies), cannabis acts as a digestive aid and helps in better utilization of their food intake.

Improved Tax Revenue

Both federal and state governments have spent over $3.5 billion a year to prohibit cannabis. Supposedly, cannabis was legalized fully, then think what would have been the scenario? The opposite would have happened. Instead of spending billions, it would generate taxes in billions. Just like, in May 2017, Colorado hit over $500 million in tax revenue since the cannabis sales for recreational purposes in 2014.

More Job Creation

Every rising industry brings a rise in employment. Similarly, if cannabis were legalized, there would be many full-time and part-time workers. There will be a need for people to work in crop farms, cannabis dispensaries, cultivators, lightning business, vaporizer manufacturers, etc. These are only a few of the mentions of work opportunities. A rise in the cannabis industry will automatically give rise to job creation in various fields.

Less Likely To Experience Domestic Violence

Cannabis effects are drastically opposite to that of alcohol. Cannabis relaxes you and mellows you out. The more you smoke cannabis, the less violent you are. Therefore, couples who smoke cannabis are less likely to experience a case of domestic violence. As they’d be very less aggressive to encounter threatening stimuli.

Only 9% Of Cannabis Users Dependent

Cannabis is not entirely harmless; instead; it is less addictive than other substances. If you put into comparison, about 15% of alcohol users become addicted. 32% of tobacco smokers and about 23% of heroin users. However, in the case of cannabis, only 9% of cannabis users get addicted.

Moderate Smokers May Have Higher IQs

A study at Carleton University found out that cannabis users who smoked cannabis four to five joints a week had higher IQs than non-cannabis smokers. The study held IQ tests for participants aged 9 -12; and after a few years, they conducted another IQ test (when those subjects were 17-20) and categorized by level of cannabis use. Hence, the test concluded that moderate smokers have higher IQ than non-cannabis smokers.

Bottom Line…

One of the biggest issues with cannabis consumption is the lack of education about cannabis to the public. Even after so many discoveries of its medicinal benefits, it is still a taboo in several countries. The society is filled with misinformation and false rumors.
If we want to progress together as a society, it is vital to enlighten one and all about cannabis, its use, and its effects. Through this article, I hope to lift up some misconceptions and social stigma on cannabis usage. Folks, it is time to make an opinion based on facts and logic instead of rumors and false information.
