What Cannaboids are in Cannabis?
The cannabis plant has been shown to alleviate a number of medical symptoms including headaches, nausea and pain.
Cannabinoids are a group of various chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant which act on the receptors located on cells which repress the release of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. Different strains of the plant offer varying levels of cannabinoid and affect dosing when used for medicinal purposes. When found in nature, cannabinoids are formed in the sticky resinous structures known as glandular trichomes. A single trichome gland can contain a variety of cannabinoids, and recent research has shown that these cannabinoids work together to produce their medical benefits. This phenomenon has been called the "entourage effect" because it shows that a diverse variety of cannabinoids, in precise ratios, has a more significant medical benefit than an isolated single cannabinoid synthesized in a lab.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) THC is the best-known cannabinoid and is the primary psychoactive compound. It has also been found to be neuroprotective with analgesic (pain relieving) effects.
Cannabinol (CBN) CBN is also non-psychoactive and is generally attributed with a sedative effect. The typical amount of CBN found in most samples of cannabis is less than 1%.
Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) THCV is commonly believed to be an appetite suppressant. In addition, recent research suggests that this compound may be helpful in treating metabolic disorders including diabetes.
Cannabichromene (CBC) CBC is perhaps the least understood cannabinoid, but potentially among the most important. It is believed to stimulate bone growth, as well has inhibit inflammation and pain.
Cannabidivarin (CBDV) CBDV has been a relatively ignored cannabinoid until recently where many researchers believe that it may offer another option for the treatment of epilepsy.
Cannabidiol (CBD) CBD is where many of the medical benefits are attributed to cannabis and has resulted in many strains being 'enriched' to increase their CBD content. CBD is not psychoactive.
Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THCA) THCA is the most prominent compound in fresh, undried cannabis. While the compound does not have psychoactive effects in its own right, it does have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects.
Cannabigerol (CBG) CBG is a non-physcoactive cannabinoid. Early results suggest it plays a role in fighting glaucoma symptoms, inflamed bowels and potentially as treatment for bacterial infections like MRSA.
Cannabidiolic Acid (CBDA) CBDA is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid believed to have anti-inflammatory properties. The compound is also thought offer benefits when dealing with nausea and vomiting

i think that its pretty messed up....because i am a senior and yes i do smoke and i think that if you are 18 that you should be allowed to smoke outside away from school at certain times, and for the states to take that away is discrimination. Its discriminatioon against ppl who do smmoke, smoking ciggs are not ILLEGAL!!!!!Its not like we are out here doing severe drugs(well some may be but I AM NOT)anyways my point is i think they should do away with that law because if they don't we still going to keep smoking at school and end up getting in trouble....and yeah you guys who may read this may be thinking i am dumb for even starting to smoke but it actually calms my nerves....i am going to push the fact that they make it legal to smoke at school again!!! AND YOU CANT EVEN BREATH IN THE AIR WITHOUT GETTING TAR OR DISEASES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
I work with people in addiction and recovery; and having seen the harm that comes from long term marijuana use I can say as an expert that marijuana is harmful and should remain forever a banned substance. Of course this represents only one opinion and as always there are many who believe it should be legal
If you smoke tobacco out of a hookah that was previously used for marijuana will you test positive?
It depends on the amount of marijuana residue "resin" left in the pipe. Sometimes you can puff on an empty pipe that still has resin left in it and still get "stoned" as well as fail a drug test. Not a very good idea unless you do not have any drug tests coming your way within 30 days.
Is it possible to smoke weed and not get high?
Yes it's possible. Many users do not recognize the "high" the first few times. Also if you smoke really good bud for a long time and the next day smoke a little schwagg, you might not get high.
Are marijuana leaves bad too smoke?
This is a controversial topic, but there are specific facts -- although the full consequences of smoking any substance are not entirely known at this point.
Tobacco use has been studied for many decades. It has been proven that tobacco causes cancer and other health issues. Smoking any substance is going to create many of the same health issues.
Tobacco is grown using fertilizers and chemicals that are supposedly safe. No one knows what chemicals and fertilizers marijuana has been exposed to while growing. And you can't go back to the manufacturer and ask.
The tobacco companies are held to some standards by various government entities. There are no regulations or standards for the production of marijuana.
RebuttalCigarettes were much safer until the 50's, when tobacco companies started putting tar in cigarettes to allow them to ship and store better; the government allowed this. The following year the cancer rate rose 50%, and has stayed astronomical ever since.....native American cigarettes do not have the same chemicals in them, and are far healthier....so tell me again about the gov't regulations? the cigarette industry was fine before the fifties, so why allow them to add a chemical to their product that kills everyone? you tell me, I'm dyin to know....but when you find out you'll know what gov't regulations are good for....How do you blow smoke through your nose?
look this up on youtube its called solid breath. basically what youre doing when you perform this trick is your pressure cooking your saliva. after a couple of tries you'll start to get it.
How long will weed stay in your system if you eat it?
The second most used explanation of positive test to marijuana is the unknowing ingestion of marijuana tea, brownies prepared with marijuana, or the like was the line of defense that followed passive inhalation. Although studies were carried out to investigate this issue, there was no question that if someone orally ingested cooked marijuana, urinary excretion of -9-THC metabolite would correlate with the amount ingested. The issue was whether the concentrations found in the urine at a specific time after ingestion could be explained in the absence of a detectable biological activity at the time of ingestion. This issue still has no definitive resolution in light of the fact that individuals have explained that there was alcohol consumed with the meals, which could mask the effects of marijuana. So still marijuana ingested in brownies will be detected the same in urine analisis for 31 days.
How do you hide the smell of tobacco smoke in your home?
Only smoke when you're around other smokers. (I have two close friends, one who smokes along with her whole family, and one who doesn't smoke but his parents do, as well as a smoking coworker, so my mom is used to me coming home smelling like cigarette smoke.)
Wash your hands. Even if you have the friends excuse to explain your clothes, your hands will smell like it and that's a lot harder to explain away.
Chew gum, use breath sprays, or brush your teeth if possible.
The best option is to try those new dissolvable tablets. Then there's no smoke to hide at all. :) And you're not killing your lungs that way.
Although I would highly suggest not smoking if you're underage. I'm of legal age myself, but don't let my mom know because she has enough stress in her life and I don't need her worrying about me.
DONT SMOKE IN THE FIRST PLACE, EVEN IF YOU ARE OVER AGE! Your friend is stupid, "smoking alsong with her family?" What the heck?

you can't you just take pills for smoking and try to stop smoking and quit
Update by Devil Man:
I can tell you two things.
Smoking isn't good for your health.
&
If you are having to "hide it" then you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
Ilovecatz1234:
Why hide smoking? One day, when you start dying or getting a disease, you will be sorry for ever smoking. I am right, you'll see.
No. The active chemical in Salvia Divinorum is Salvinorin-A. This natural chemical affects the central nervous system's opioid receptors rather than the serotonin receptors, which are the target of common hallucinogens. Because of the unparalleled molecular structure of Salvinorin-A, the effects on the human mind differ greatly from that of other hallucinogens. Salvia is also very different from most drugs because it is non-toxic and non-addictive. The National Institutes of Health believe that Salvinorin-A may have a potential in psychotherapy, treating diseases that may cause perceptual distortions, such as schizophrenia, dementia, and bipolar disorders.
How long does marijuana stay in a fetus's system?
Im not entirely sure, but i do know how long it stays in your system for generally. Heres a peice from a medical text - ' "How long does marijuana stay in your system?" you need to take into account the fact that there is no simple answer to this question. THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) can stay in a person's body for as long as 3 to 90 days after smoking or being ingested orally'. So based on this im saying the same thing for breast milk, 90 days is abit long, that would only be if your ill and have a very slow matabolism. I would say based on my experience about 3-20 days for a healthy women.
But remember marijuana 'Will' effect the baby if your pregnant. So it wouldn't be advicable to smoke or drink any toxins while with child.
According to our "intelligent" US government, marijuana is classified as a schedule 1 drug.....the worst of the worst, right up there with heroin. HOWEVER, cocaine is a schedule 2 drug, apparently not so bad for you compared to weed...according to our "intelligent" government.
No because it is not able to be dissolved in your mucous membranes and absorbed into your bloodstream as cocaine does but will only create an itch in your nose and be sneezed out.
Where is the best place to buy marijuana?
The Best Herb can be found in Amsterdam and is a Sativa cross strain of Skunk#1 Northern Lights #5 and Haze called Jack Herer named after theauthor and political activist of the same name . The fruit of this plant is quite tasty and very potent and won the 7th annual Cannabis Cup and beautifully flowers in 50-70 days. If you had a very bad day this is what I would reccomend!!! Not to knock the previous answer but I have been to both the Bud Lovers festival in Vancouver,BC and 3 Cannabis Cups.......hands down Amsterdam takes the crown on this one I am guessing the previous poster is either A. A Crazy Canuck or B.Lives in the Pacific Northwest WA. or OR. and is very used to his BC Shwag.
There isn't necessarily a fake marijuana, there are legal weed alternatives. As far as the main psychoactive ingredient, which I assume you are asking for, it really depends on which legal buds you are talking about. Hope this helped!
cannabis, pot, marijuana, skunk, grass, green, Mary Jane, grade, draw. those are some nicknames of weed itself. grades include: cheese, blues ( or blueberry), haze (often end in haze like blueberry haze, for instance), norms, chronic, lemon haze, purple haze, silver hash, various types of "Kush", hash (hard solid form of pot), white widow, krystal, bubblegum, NY diesel, amnesia, ect...
There is no safe smoke period; all tobacco or otherwise that is set on fire contains thousands of chemicals created as a byproduct of the smoke. These chemicals are responsible for the cancer-causing effects and lung damage that occurs.
What can you smoke out of a hookah?
- Fill the vase with ice cubes and water. Put just enough water into the base so that the stem is submerged about 1-1/2" (38 mm) into the bowl.
- You need to leave just enough room in the vase so that your smoke doesn't bubble up into the hose.
- Avoid putting milk or dairy into your base. Adding dairy will ensure an unpleasant smell, mold, foaming in the vase and ruined hoses.
- Add your grommet. The grommet is a seal that joins the stem to the vase. Most hookahs come with a rubber or plastic seal. Silicone is the best material for a seal, but you an also simply seal the vase to the stem with electrical tape.
- Put the tray that holds the coals onto the hookah. You need to put it on before you put the bowl on because the bowl may not fit over the tray.
- Insert the short end of the hose into the hose port. If your hookah has 2 ports, then you can purchase a rubber seal to close off the other port.
- Prepare your shisha. Follow all of these steps for the best smoking experience
- Evenly mix your tobacco so that all of it is covered in flavoring and molasses.
- Fluff up your tobacco and drop it loosely into the bowl. Leave 2 millimeters of distance between the top of the tobacco and the bowl so that the shisha doesn't touch the foil when you put it on. Burned shisha will add a nasty flavor to your smoke.
- Buy a good quality shisha. The quality of your shisha will determine the flavor of your smoke. You can also mix and match flavors for a great-tasting smoke. Buy 50-gram portions of shisha so that you can try it out without spending a lot of money.
- You can cut up your tobacco leaves with kitchen shears to more easily pack them into the bowl. However, don't cut them too small or they'll fall through the holes and clog your bowl.
- Put heavy duty only foil over the top of the bowl. Your foil piece should be 2" (5 cm) larger on all sides so that you can form a tight seal around the bowl.
- Keep the foil tight so that wrinkles don't distort the heat distribution. If you only have thin foil on hand, then double it up.
- When you're finished, your foil-covered bowl should resemble the head of a drum.
- Poke about 15 to 20 holes into the foil with a toothpick, a pin or a sharp-tipped pen. Take care not to shred your foil. You can try a couple of different patterns based on the kind of bowl that you have:
- Egyptian bowl: Start with a circle of holes around the perimeter and spiral inward.
- Funnel-style bowl: Make 3 concentric rings: 1 around the edge, 1 around the spire and 1 between the 2 circles that you've already made.
- Light the coals. Hold the coals with a pair of tongs and light 1 corner with a match or lighter. Because sparks will be produced, you should either go outside or stand near a window.
- Always use the tongs that come with most hookahs to light or move your coals. Avoid using kitchen tongs, which may have been coated in a polymer to provide a non-stick coating for food prep and easy cleaning.
- When the coal starts to sparkle and emit smoke, pull the flame away. The coal should continue sparking until all of it turns bright orange.
- If the coal still has some blackened patches that aren't burning, then blow on the coal to encourage it to heat up.
- Set the coal down on the foil using your tongs. The sides that were covered by your tongs should be unlit. Blow on these parts to cause them to burn orange. Let the coal sit on the foil until each one has a coating of ash over it.
- Never light the coal directly on top of the foil. The particles released from the coal will get into the bowl and change the flavor of your tobacco.
- If you're in a place with no stove, lighter or matches, then you can use instant-light coal.
- Natural coals burn much longer than quick lights but require something much hotter than a lighter to ignite them. Most people use either a single coil stove burner or a butane torch to light their naturals.
- Blow through the hose to clean out any dust or particles that may have settled. Avoid washing the hose unless you know that it is washable.
- Smoke your hookah. Allow the bowl to heat up naturally. Don't take hard pulls to accelerate the heating process because you'll just end up burning the tobacco. Take your time while you smoke. A good hookah can last between 45 minutes and 1 hour.
