Marijuana has been used as a medicine for thousands of years. THC is the main active ingredient in marijuana. When THC enters the body it stimulates receptors in the brain and can reduce pain and increase appetite. Medical marijuana is mainly used to treat chronic pain, nausea, and muscle spasms, but it has many other uses. Though marijuana, or cannabis, is commonly known as a recreational drug, it has been used as a medicine for thousands of years. Its recreational use is still illegal in all but a handful of U.S. states. Many states have legalized it for medical use, though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hasn’t approved it as a medicine. The mind-altering ingredient in marijuana is THC, short for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. The amount of THC in marijuana varies and has been steadily increasing over the past few decades. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the average THC content of confiscated samples was 3.7 percent in the 1990s. In 2013 it was 9.6 percent. When THC enters the body it attaches to and stimulates cannabinoid receptors in the brain. The stimulation of these receptors affects the body in various ways. Among its effects are reduced pain and increased appetite. Another chemical in marijuana that has beneficial health effects is cannabidiol (CBD). Unlike THC, this chemical isn’t psychoactive and doesn’t cause the intoxicating effects that THC does. According to NIDA, CBD can possibly be used to treat childhood epilepsy. It could also be turned into an oil for use as a healing salve. More research needs to be done into the effects of CBD.
