Medicinal Plants is the topic of today. So what better that talk about one of the plant more controversial: The Cannabis.
For Cannabis we can understand, a genre with three species, belonging the family Cannabaceae: Sativa, Indica and Ruderalis. Initially, for understand what make a so controversial these plants, we need to move, to the enter of the plant and see a group of molecules synthesized by this: THC and CBD
The THC is the psychoactive element present in the plant (wild cannabis normally present 0-5%) this molecule is linked with Cannabinoid receptors.
CBD It's the opposite, is not a psychoactive and normally causes a sedative effect in most cases and inhibits the transmission of nerve signals associated with pain. For these particular effects, the cannabis is a good treatment in cases with chronic patients or Painful diseases. Now studies implicate a good effect anti- tumoral in the cancer patients inhibiting the increase of the cancer cell without affect the normal cell.
To the date, the developer of this genders go so fast, we have many varieties produced for the recreational consumption (with modified percents of THC and CBD by crossing) but medicinal production is more restricted which is weird if you think that in Chile is legal but only with medicinal finish.
Like an extra data, the cannabinoids are low soluble in water, so I don’t know if a Cannabis Tea would have a real effect.
