Types of marijuana and its effects

Did you know that there are many types of marijuana and that each of them has a different effect on the body? Scientists have long confirmed that there is not just one type of marijuana, but that there are different types that cause different effects.

No type of marijuana is the same, and there are "male" and "female" plants. They are of different growth, but also appearance. Some of the plants contain a psychoactive substance, while others are completely harmless in that context.

What types of marijuana are there?

It has been scientifically confirmed that there are 8 types of marijuana. Each of them is different both in appearance and in the effects it causes in the body. The impact it has on the consciousness of the individual who consumes it is different. Some of them cause hallucinations and euphoric behavior, while others do not have such an effect.

Sativa marijuana or cannabis Sativa is the type of marijuana that addicts most often consume. This plant is tall (as much as 450 centimeters in some cases). Its leaves are long, shiny, and narrow. It usually grows in India, Thailand, Nigeria, Mexico, or Colombia. Before use, it is mostly dried and cooked and consumed by smoking. It contains very high levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), that is, psychoactive substances. After prolonged consumption, it causes depression, sudden mood swings, and fatigue.

Marijuana Indica or Indian hemp is of lower growth (1-2 meters in height). Its leaves are smaller and round. It grows most often in Nepal, Lebanon, Morocco, and Afghanistan. Since this type of marijuana is made of hashish. Frequent consumption causes insomnia, increases sensitivity to pain, relaxes muscles, soothes and relieves migraines.

Marijuana Ruderalis is a type of marijuana that few people know about. It is very short and has thick leaves. It mainly grows in the northern regions of the world. Most people do not consume it, but it is used for further production. It is similar to Indian marijuana.

Other types of marijuana

Industrial hemp mainly grows in the northern hemisphere and originates from Sativa marijuana, which is grown only for industrial use. It grows very quickly and it is possible to refine it into various other commercial products. It has a very low content of THC psychoactive substance.

Today, marijuana is increasingly grown and a large number of varieties of this plant are available. Humans often mixed different varieties and hybrid cannabis was created. All mixtures have different characteristics, and only positive characteristics are used and mixed during cultivation. There are many strains of marijuana, as well as hybrid plants that are obtained by crossing.

There are also male and female types of cannabis or marijuana. When male cannabis plants complete the maturation process, the flowering process occurs. When the flowers open, the plant releases pollen that spreads through the air, sticks, and is absorbed with the fertile, female plant. This is exactly how the process of fertilizing cannabis plants works. In female cannabis plants, each flower contains a pollen receptor for the male plant. When pollen falls on it, the plant fertilizes itself.

Although they are rare as a phenomenon in nature, there are also cannabis plants that have both female and male after organs, and they are called hermaphroditic cannabis. Although they are like that, they can also be fertilized.

Dangers of marijuana

Although there are different types of marijuana, each of them should be avoided, because it can negatively affect health. Marijuana is a plant that contains a psychoactive substance and changes the way of thinking and behaving. It is very dangerous because it significantly changes people's consciousness.

In addition, marijuana is addictive and if it occurs, treatment is necessary. Consumption of this plant causes a psychological addiction that makes the addict constantly want to consume it and has a need for it, if he knows all the side effects it causes.

In addition to the fact that marijuana creates an addiction, it also causes numerous other diseases, as well as mental disorders. Marijuana causes depression and lowers the IQ of addicts. Consumption of marijuana is especially dangerous for younger people because in that case, they start poisoning their organism very hard.
