About 5,000 years ago, China used as a medicine. Cannabis or hemp comes from a plant called Cannabis sativa. This plant has 100 different chemical substances called cannabinoids. Each ingredient has a different effect on the body. Cannabis is divided into three types, namely Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica and Cannabis ruderalis. These three types of cannabis contain different levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This drug derived from cannabis leaves contains Tetrahydrocannibinol (THC), one of 400 chemicals that can cause mood swings. tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidol (CBD) are the main chemicals that are often used in medicine. Keywords: Cannabis, Marijuana, Health INTRODUCTION found on the branches of female plants. The Cannabis is short for cannabis plant. The term average THC content is around 45% (rarely more marijuana usually refers to the leaves, flowers, and than 7%). Low-grade Bhang preparations are stems of the plant, which are cut, dried and derived from dried plant residues and have a THC chopped, and are usually made into cigarettes. The content of approximately 1%. Hemp oil is a other names of the cannabis plant are hemp, weed, concentrated liquid derived from the distillation of weed, hemp, tea, Mary Jane, and the products are hemp and contains approximately 1,570% THC hemp, hemp, charas, bhang, hemp, dagga and (Camellia, 2010). sinsemilla (camellia, 2010). According to the World Health Organization Cannabis is divided into three types, namely, (WHO), approximately 25% (147 million) of adults Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis worldwide use cannabis for recreational or other ruderalis. These three types of cannabis contain reasons. When used for medical purposes, cannabis different levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is considered a complementary and alternative (BNN, 2015). The THC content in Charas and medicine (CAM) because it is not a conventional hemp is about 78%, up to 14%. Cannabis and treatment. Due to the lack of efficacy, side effects, Sinsemilla are derived from dry matter and are or other reasons of standard therapies, about 40% 534 of epilepsy patients have improved their condition (520 mg dose), intravenous THC (0.0150.03 mg/kg after taking CAM. Although most CAMs are not dose range), and through the respiratory tract with pharmacological (for example, meditation, vaporizers (Radhakrishnan et al.) consistently relaxation techniques, or stress management), demonstrated this effect. 2014). ). special attention is paid to the use of herbal The use of cannabis as a medicinal plant for medications.

  • The Ultimate Guide to CBD Oil
    The Ultimate Guide to CBD Oil What is CBD? CBD (cannabidiol) is a cannabinoid – a biologically active cannabis compound that has been proven to have significant health benefits. The cannabis plant is composed of a complex chemical mixture that includes phyto-cannabinoids, terpenoids, flavanoids, steroids and enzymes. Cannabinoids help by modulating many physiological systems in the human brain and body. There are many active cannabinoids that have been identified in cannabis and of these tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are usually present in the highest concentrations and have been studied the most extensively. THC is the psycho-active component, which is used recreationally to give the “high”. CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not make people feel “high or stoned” so that means daily tasks, like driving, taking care of children and working, will not be affected or put at risk by using CBD. There are no dulled senses to inhibit consumers. While this makes CBD is a poor choice for recreational users, it gives a significant advantage as a tonic, since it has minimal side effects. This makes CBD an appealing option for people looking for relief from various conditions such as inflammation, pain, anxiety, psychosis, seizures, spasms, etc -- without feelings of lethargy. CBD rich hemp oil, the essential oil of the hemp plant, has over 480 natural compounds including 100 or so cannabinoids (CBD and THC are two) and over 120 terpenes (part of a plants essential oils which contribute to a plant’s scent, flavour and colour) along with amino acids, proteins, enzymes, ketones, fatty acids, steroids, flavonoids, vitamins and more.

  • CBD) Information About CBD in Cannabis and Hemp Products Under the New Cannabis Act
    ALL ABOUT CANNABIDIOL (CBD) Information about CBD in cannabis and hemp products under the new Cannabis Act WHAT IS CBD? The cannabis plant contains hundreds of different chemical constituents, such as cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Currently, over 100 chemical substances collectively known as cannabinoids have been identified. Cannabinoids that are derived from cannabis plants are sometimes referred to as phytocannabinoids. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of these cannabinoids. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - the most well-known cannabinoid in cannabis, responsible for the high or intoxication of consuming cannabis - CBD does not produce a high or intoxicating effect. However, there is some evidence that CBD may influence some of the effects that THC has on the brain. CBD is also being studied for its possible therapeutic uses; it has received market approval in the United States for two severe forms of epilepsy. CBD can be found in varieties of the cannabis plant, including hemp plants. All phytocannabinoids, whether derived from a cannabis plant or produced by synthesis, including both THC and CBD, are regulated under the new Cannabis Act and its regulations, which came into force on October 17, 2018. HOW IS CBD REGULATED IN CANADA? Under the Cannabis Act, many activities with phytocannabinoids, CBD included, remain prohibited, except for the specific cases authorized by the Act and its regulations, which include strict controls on possession, production, sale, and distribution. While Health Canada oversees the production of cannabis products, the provinces and territories oversee the distribution and retail aspects of the cannabis supply chain. Health Canada remains responsible for overseeing the distribution and sale of cannabis and any CBD-containing cannabis products for medical purposes.

Various oriental and Asian cultures kept records of its production and numerous uses. Due to the similarities between industrial hemp (fiber and grain) and the narcotic/medical type of Cannabis, the production of industrial hemp was prohibited in most countries, wiping out centuries of learning and genetic resources. In the past two decades, most countries have legalized industrial hemp production, prompting a significant amount of research on the health benefits of hemp and hemp products. Current research is yet to verify the various health claims of the numerous commercially available hemp products.

  • Analysis of Cannabinoids in Hemp Seed Oils by HPLC
    APPLICATION NOTE Liquid Chromatography Authors: Catharine Layton Wilhad M. Reuter PerkinElmer, Inc. Shelton, CT Analysis of Cannabinoids in Hemp Seed Oils by Introduction Cannabis sativa, from which hemp and HPLC Using PDA Detection marijuana are derived, has been a source of medicinal, industrial, and recreational commodities for centuries. The term “hemp” refers primarily to cannabis grown as an agricultural crop and is characterized by cannabis plants that are low in delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Although more than 30 nations worldwide grow hemp as an agricultural commodity, in the United States, production is strictly controlled under existing drug enforcement laws.1 As of January 2015, twenty states have passed legislation favorable to hemp cultivation. The main obstacles facing the potential U.S. market are the government drug policies and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) concerns that the commercial cultivation could increase the likelihood of covert production of high-THC cannabis varieties or inadvertent cross pollination, complicating DEA surveillance. In recent years, scientific knowledge regarding the composition and health benefits of edible hemp products has significantly increased. Hemp seed oil has been promoted as a good source of nutritious omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated acids, and may be a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to fish oil.3 While hemp seed oil has been shown to have high nutritive value, it is generally believed that it may also afford other beneficial qualities.
