The article discusses the ongoing debate over cannabis legalization in the U.S., despite overwhelming public support and recognition of its medical benefits. It outlines common misconceptions about cannabis, including its medical efficacy and psychoactive properties. While acknowledging potential risks, particularly for adolescents, it emphasizes that cannabis poses fewer health risks than alcohol and tobacco. The rise of the 'California sober' trend signifies a cultural shift, with more people opting for cannabis over alcohol. A key distinction is made between THC, which causes intoxication, and CBD, known for therapeutic effects without the high.
The FDA has even approved certain cannabinoid-based medications for specific conditions, highlighting its therapeutic potential, though it is not a cure-all and effectiveness varies by individual and illness.
Responsible use and honest education are crucial. Less hangovers, less weight gain and moderate use have been part of the trend of California sober where people have given up alcohol for marijuana.
A persistent myth is cannabis offers no legitimate medical use. In reality, scientific studies and patient reports have shown cannabis can help manage chronic pain, reduce anxiety.
However, cannabis contains over 100 cannabinoids, with THC responsible for the high. CBD, another major compound, does not produce intoxication and is used for its therapeutic benefits.
