Raw facts on cannabis
On your road to finding the root behind the cannabis shroud you should consider some fact's on the plant to help you in your quest to finding the truth. First off cannabis has never killed anyone directly from it's effect on the health of a human being or even the animals tested, which was wrong and altered to meet government fear mongering. Can the high effect from smoking cannabis lead to death, of course because it does alter the ability to make quick and fast reactions such when needed for an example of driving a car. One can only imagine getting into an accident flipping over three times while having a big grin on there face and not even realizing what happened. Do not be an idiot, Cannabis does effect your state of mind and anything that does this increases the chance for something to go wrong. We do support legalization but their still must be safety precautions put in place if not for you then the public around.
Raw figures on cannabis consumption leading to death in any form of equals hundreds of pounds introduced into the body in under 1 hour or less. This is a almost ridiculously high number, and all living things have a much higher tolerance to cannabis compared to almost everything else on this planet. To better put this into perspective, a non accustomed drinker could get alcohol poisoning with just one to two liters of liquor at 20% to 40%. Taking about 20 Tylenol, large amounts of caffeine pills, high dose's of cough syrup and many other things could land you in the hospital in a quick order. Even more interesting is energy drinks are legal but very dangerous in high volumes but this is just not the case in cannabis consumption.
Cannabis can be introduced into the body in many forms, eye drops, eating, smoking, epidermis absorption, rectally, pretty much any way imaginable. These new ways are in direct relation to the medical cannabis industry. Basically your body is a hub full of receptors for cannabinoids and anyway the cannabinoids can make their way into the blood stream to places like the brain, liver,lungs stomach and so on is going to produce a effect. Many know that the brain has cannabinoid receptors but few know the body is chuck full of receptors in other major organs as well. There are to main receptors initialed CB1 and CB2 and more are rumored to exist but further studies and funding are needed to fully explore cannabis.
Canada was the first country to introduce regulation on the medical cannabis field, but somehow has fell behind since. Medical cannabis and tolerance seems to be spear headed by America now is is the home to the most cannabis dispensary's in the world and the state of California has about the most per capita. Additionally Many states have decriminalized cannabis in America but Canada has yet to do so.

One of the most versatile plants in the world, Cannabis can grow in places you might not think it could. Different strains of cannabis are more resilient then others. As long as the local climate is warm enough for plant life and some source of water is occasionally introduced, the cannabis plant will grow and has evolved to it's native climate to adjust in relation to the strain of the plant.Cannabis plants have been known to reach 4ft or more in high and depending on the strain can be very bushy to very compact.
The natural herb cannabis has been smoked and/or used in ceremony's for thousands of years, Ancients have been known to even be buried with the plant, weird huh?. This plant very well could have been the first plant that humanity smoked or at lest recorded. In today's society people smoke cannabis in the form of joints, water pipes, pipes, vaporizers, hookas, and various other ways but are less common. If a large amount of cannabis smoke is concentrated it will appear to be yellow or brown in color unlike cigarette smoke which is almost blueish. The cannabis plant is though to have been used for meditation and health but has become more of a recreational experience in our era.
By far the drug war is almost solely focused on this plant and anything relating to cannabis. More people on planet earth are jailed for having, smoking, selling cannabis then any other criminal activity to date. The United States jails hundreds of thousands per year for cannabis related crimes and since marijuana prohibition started possible hundreds of millions world wide have had some sort of criminal prosecution because of cannabis, Far more then alcohol.
