As marijuana becomes more accepted across mainstream society, the vernacular once reserved for a limited segment of the population has now become more widespread and commonplace. For example, Kush is a popular strain that hails from the Hindu Kush Mountains along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
This region has the distinction of being one of the few environments in the world where cannabis is considered as a native plant species. Like most strains, Kush cannabis exhibits unique traits that distinguish it from other strains, including its fragrance, taste, and appearance. Most notably, Kush is known for its psychoactive properties that are especially conducive to relaxation and meditation.
Legalization of medical, and now, recreational marijuana has cleared the way for companies to dispense cannabis and indoctrinate a previously uneducated public on the available varieties. Websites like Kush Dispensary can outline their services, explaining the benefits of quality-controlled cannabis products and their effects.

Even with a wealth of information at our fingertips, we’ll each ultimately have a unique experience with marijuana. Not unlike situations where family members may have different physical reactions to the same spicy food, the impact of cannabis products tend to vary drastically from person to person. In spite of the diversity, preliminary studies show that marijuana produces some common side effects, both positive and negative.
Pro – Helps Cancer Patients
Marijuana has long been leveraged to address a multitude of health issues, including anxiety, insomnia, nausea, and even diseases as critical as cancer. Although not officially recognized as front-line traditional medical treatment, marijuana has often been layered in to help alleviate symptoms in conjunction with conventional care, or when other avenues have been exhausted.
Initial studies are looking into the potential for marijuana to stem the growth of cancer cells. Cannabis has a chemical called cannabidiol, which has been shown to turn off a gene called Id-1. While Id-1 isn’t a cancer cell, it does help cancerous cells to spread, so further research is being conducted to see if this gene can help win the fight against certain cancers.
Con – December Cause Psychosis
Everything in moderation also applies to marijuana. When users ingest more than what’s necessary, they increase their chances of experiencing psychosis, which leads to hallucinations, delusions, as well as the gradual deterioration in their sense of personal identity. Their contact with reality becomes more tenuous, and it becomes harder to distinguish reality from imagination. One can even lose control over the ability to speak coherently. At the end of the day, marijuana is a substance with psychoactive properties, so it needs to be used responsibly.
Pro – Prevents Epileptic Seizures
THC is another ingredient in cannabis which has been found to bind the brain cells responsible for controlling excitability and regulating relaxation. This is especially beneficial for those who suffer from epileptic seizures, allowing them to experience the episodes less frequently.
Con – December Cause Paranoia
The typical response to marijuana is relaxation. However, some individuals may feel the opposite sensation. There’s a significant percentage that experience intense anxiety and paranoia after taking marijuana. They begin to become distrustful and suspicious of the people around them. Conversely, for those who are alone, feelings of loneliness may intensify.
Nearly everything in the world seems to have pros and cons associated with it. The moral of the story is to be prepared and knowledgeable, and try to avoid the extremes. Knowing the potential drawbacks of any activity can enhance your experience so you can take precautions when needed. While this list isn’t exhaustive by any means, it’s an illustration of the ambiguity that accompanies so many of the decisions that people are faced with today, as the world evolves to reflect the changing times.
