Cannabis — An Overview

Drugs... don't do them, kids! But if you find yourself in a position where you need to write about them (or just want to know), then this post a good place to get basic information about marijuana, and a solid jumping off point for more research.

Cannabis and Marijuana — Definitions

Marijuana: dried buds and leaves of Cannabis sativa plant. Anywhere between green, brown, and grey. Contains more than 400 chemicals, including delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the plant's main psychoactive chemical.

Hash: dried resin or tar of the female plant. Dark brown or black chunks, commonly sold in tinfoil packages.

Hash Oil: one of the purest forms of cannabis. Made of cannabis extract, which is a sticky, oily, reddish-brown to green substance.

Cannabis Consumption

Marijuana can be smoked in small pipes, or the more advertised variants, cigarettes called joints. It can also be baked into numerous foods. Hash is usually mixed with marijuana and/or tobacco and smoked. Hash oil is more commonly spread on the rolling paper of a joint, or the end of a lit cigarette.

How Marijuana Affects You

The effects of marijuana are shorter when smoked, from between 2–4 hours, along with the fact that they kick in faster. If eaten, the drug affects the body at a slower pace and for longer.

Marijuana affects everyone differently, and there is no way of predicting the effect of THC from person to person. The effects are dependent on the consumer's mood, environment, age, past or current medical conditions, the presence or lack of other drugs or alcohol in the system (including medication), among other things.

List of Effects

Most people

relaxed

talkative

giggly

increased appetite

distorted sense of time

short term memory impairment

Some People

self-conscious

irritable

anxious

insomnia

depression

paranoia (overly suspicious, feelings of persecution)

decrease in motivation and interest

Few People

flashbacks

delusions (false convictions held contrary to fact)

clouded mental process

impaired thinking

confusion

Young people report that chronic, or daily, use of marijuana can lead a person to experience all of these effects.

How You Get High

The active ingredient of the weed, the THC, binds to the nerve cells and releases dopamine into a part of the brain that controls learning and memory (cerebrum) and integrates the senses with emotions and motivations.

Additional Information and Final Note

Marijuana clashes badly with prescribed drugs, such as anti-depressants

In rare cases, a connection with the onset of serious mental illness such as schizophrenia has occurred

People with schizophrenia have an almost 'allergic' reaction to marijuana, and those with (certain) mental illnesses (commonly) have bad experiences with cannabis

People suffering from certain health problems, side effects of cancer/AIDS, etc. report that marijuana is helpful for controlling pain and other symptoms

This post is by no means claiming to be true for every circumstance. Everyone is different, and I'm sure people have personal stories that prove contrary to the information presented here. That's to be expected, as the effects of drugs on the humans body depend on many variables and are highly unpredictable.

With that said, if anything is wrong, please let me know immediately and keep in mind that my information is directly from Interior Health BC, which has a cannabis fact-sheet compilation that I'll link here.

I hope this helped anyone who needed it, and informed the rest of you. Stay safe :)

classic books being called “[blank] and [blank]” (eg, crime and punishment, war and peace, pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility) is the original version of “a [blank] of [blank] and [blank]” (eg. acotar, girls of paper and fire, children of blood and bone)

the thing about some men is that they want you to remember, at all times, that you are underneath them. that with one word or look or "joke", you will stay beneath them. that even "exceptions" to the rule are not true exceptions - the commonly cited statistic that one in eight men believe they could win against serena williams.

women's gymnastics is often not seen as real gymnastics. whatever the fuck non-euclidian horrors rhythmic gymnasts are capable of, it's often tamped down as being not a sport. some of the most dominant athletes in the world are women. nobody watches women's soccer. despite years of dancing and being built like a fucking brick, men always assume they're faster and stronger than i am. you wouldn't like what happens when they are incorrect. once while drunk at a guy's house i won a held-plank challenge by a solid minute. the party was over after that - he became exceedingly violent.

what i mean is that you can be perfect, and they still think you're ... lacking, somehow. i hope you understand i'm trying to express a neutral statement when i say: taylor swift was the possibly the most patriarchy-palatable, straight-down-the-line woman we could churn out. she is white, conventionally attractive, usually pretty mild in personality. say what you will about her (and you should, she's a billionaire, she can handle it), but a few things seem to be true about her: 1. she can write a damn catchy song, and 2. the eras tour truly was a massive commercial success and was also genuinely an impressive feat of human athleticism and performance.

i don't know if she deserves the title of "woman of the year," i'm not debating that in this post. what i am saying is that she was named Woman of The Year, and then an untalented man got onstage at the golden globes and made fun of her for attending her boyfriend's football games. what i am saying is that this woman altered local economies - and her dating life is still being made into a "harmless" punchline. the camera panned, greedy, over to her downing a full glass of champagne. congratulations taylor! you are woman of the year! but you are a woman. even her.

fuck, man. write better material.

a guy gets onstage at a college graduation and despite the fact like half the crowd is made up of women, he spends a significant proportion of it warning these people - who spent possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars on their education - that they were lied to. that the "real" meaning of femininity is motherhood. that they shouldn't rest on the laurels of that education-they-paid-for but instead throw it away to kneel at a man's heel. imagine that. sweating in your godawful polyester gown (that you also had to pay for!), fresh out of 4 years of pushing yourself ever-harder: and some guy you've never met - who knows nothing about you - he reminds you this "win" is a pyrrhic one at best. you really shouldn't consider yourself that extraordinary. you're still a woman, even after years of study.

god forbid you are not a pretty woman, but if you are pretty, you must be dumb. god forbid you are not ablebodied or white or cis or straight or good at swallowing. you must be beneath a man, or else they are not a man. the equation for masculinity seems to just be: that which is not a woman or womanly (god forbid). anything "feminine" is thereby anathema. to engage in "feminine" things such as therapy, getting a hug from a friend, or crying - it is giving up ones manhood. therefore women need to be put in their place to ensure that masculinity is protected.

this is something i have struggled to explain to terfs - they are not doing the work of feminism, but rather the patriarchy. by asserting that women and men must be (on some secret level) oppositional and in conflict, they also assume that being a woman is akin to being another species. but bigotry does not stem from observational truths or clarity - that is what makes it bigotry. there was nothing in my childhood that made me fundamentally different from my brother. we are treated differently nonetheless. to assert there is some biological drive that enforces my gender role is to assert that women have a gendered role. men do not see women as equal to them not because of biological reality - but instead because the core tenant of the patriarchy is that women aren't full, realized people.

we are told from a very young age to excuse misbehavior as a single man's choice - not all men. it is not all men, just that one guy. all women are gold-digging bitches who belong in the kitchen - but if a man is mean, bigoted, or violent to you, it's just that particular guy, and that means nothing about men-as-a-whole. it is only one guy who got mad when you gently rejected him. it is only one guy who warns her this trophy is heavy, are you sure you can hold it? it is only one guy who smashes her face into the cake. it is only one guy talking into a mic about hating our bodily autonomy.

i have just found that they often wait until the moment we actually seem to be upstaging them. you sit in a meeting where you're presenting your own findings and he says get me a coffee? or you run to the end of the marathon and are about to finish first and he pushes your kids out in front of you. you win the chess game and they make some comment akin to well, you're ugly away. we can be the billionaire and get the dream life and finally fucking do it and yet! still! they have this strange, visceral urge to say well actually, if you think you're so great -

it's not one just one guy. it's one in eight.
