Overview and Commonness
Marijuana is currently among the 3rd most widespread addictive drugs after tobacco and alcohol. Its usage is common not only among adults but also among teenagers. According to statistics, more than half of American adults have tried marijuana at least once in their lives and nearly 22% of them currently use it as well.
Marijuana (often referred to as cannabis) mainly combines 3 psychoactive elements, known as Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. When the flowers of these items are collected and dried, it’s the time when one of the most common drugs, cannabis (also known as pot, weed, or marijuana), is made.
Components
Generally, more than 120 components (known as cannabinoids) are required for the formation of marijuana. Although not every cannabinoid’s function is revealed, two of them, known as cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are pretty important.
Both cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are psychoactive elements contained in cannabis. CBD is the non-intoxicating and non-euphoric element, which is used to reduce pain in the body, whereas, on the other hand, THC is the item responsible for making you feel high.
Medical Marijuana and the Ways to Store It in Dispensaries
Medical marijuana is primarily the same as recreational marijuana and is made from marijuana plants to treat diseases or medical conditions, including:
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),
- Appetite Loss,
- Cancer,
- Eating disorders,
- Epilepsy and seizures,
- Multiple sclerosis,
- Muscle spasms,
- Nausea,
- PainAlzheimer’s disease,
- Crohn’s disease, etc.
Since now you know the advantages of medical marijuana, it’s time for you to explore the ways of keeping it in dispensaries.
Marijuana should:
Be Kept at the Right Temperature: mold may grow and thrive in temperatures above 77˚F, so cannabis should be kept in cooler temperatures.
Be Kept at an Ideal Humidity: Humidity is the most important component of the whole process. Too much moisture can make marijuana open and vulnerable to mold, meanwhile, too little moisture can dry out and weaken the cannabis structure.
Be Stored in the Dark: It’s confirmed that the sun’s UV rays, which break down the marijuana, are the key factor to lead to cannabinoid deterioration. So it’s important to keep cannabis out of direct sunlight as much as possible.
Airtight Containers: The best way to keep marijuana in the right humidity and temperature is to store it in airtight containers. However, if you’re not planning to keep marijuana for a long period, vacuum sealers may also work well.
