Facts
Freonä is a trade name for any of a series of gases used as refrigerants and propellants in aerosol products. Freon is used in older automobile air conditions and to recharge any air conditioner. Mental health experts refer to Freon abuse as hitching on to the "Death Ride." The quick thirty second high produced by inhaling Freon can cause unconsciousness for five to thirty minutes, even death. 57% of female victims of intimate violence (i.e., current or former spouses, boyfriends, etc.) reported that the offender had been drinking at the time of the offense. Cannabis has two powerful active ingredients - THC and CBD (cannabidiol). Both substances are classed as cannabinoids - they produce psychoactive effects by binding with special receptors which are extraordinarily abundant all over the brain and body. Your brain makes its own cannabinoid - anandamide - which is thought to be involved in pain sensations, memory regulation and the immune system. The ratio of these two substances determine the character and strength of the effect. Like fine wines, different strains of cannabis can have their own flavour and complexity, plus their own distinct high. Marijuana is the common name for the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. Hemp grows in tropical as well as temperate climates. The dried ground leaves, flowers, and stems of the plant have a long history for their use as drugs. It has been cultivated in different regions of the world throughout centuries for its fiber to produce linen, rope, canvas, and oil. It has also been used as a medicine to relieve symptoms of illness and as a euphoric to induce states of intoxication or elation. Throughout its long history, parts of the plants have been smoked, eaten, chewed, or brewed for its pharmacological effects on human biochemistry. |
