Cannabis Components - Cannabinoids as Medicine

A large population has been using marijuana for a variety of health conditions for more than 3,000 years. However, over the course of recent years, several individual components of marijuana are being used for multiple medicinal purposes. These components are commonly known as cannabinoids. 

A marijuana plant comprises more than 100 cannabinoids. The human body also produces its own cannabinoids as they play a major role in regulating memory, thinking, concentration, body movement, awareness, senses, and pain.

Cannabinoids are useful as Medicine

Currently, there are two cannabinoids obtained from the marijuana plant that also interests the medical field- THC and CBD. THC is known to increase the appetite but reduces nausea, pain, muscle control and redness or swelling caused due to inflammation. Unlike THC, CBD does not make the users high. These cannabinoids are not at all toxic, and till now, there has not been a single death reported due to them.

Cannabis is helpful in-
  • Reducing pain and inflammation,
  • Controlling epileptic seizures, and
  • Probably it can even treat mental illness and addictions.
“Most of the researchers, including those funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), are exploring as many possible uses of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids that could help in treating various medical ailments.”

For instance, the recent animal studies claim that cannabis extracts might help in either killing certain cancer cells or reducing their size. The study suggests that purified extracts can even slow the growth of cancer cells.




Around the globe, many scientists are conducting preclinical and clinical trials with marijuana as well as its extracts to treat symptoms of multiple medical conditions including:

•    HIV/AIDS
•    Multiple sclerosis (MS),
•    Inflammation
•    Pain
•    Seizures
•    Mental disorders

Drug addicts were not aware of its side-effects like consuming marijuana above a certain  limit makes one unconscious or even could result in death.
