Here are some true facts about cannabis:
- Cannabis plants are either male or female, with female plants prized for their resinous buds, while male plants produce pollen. Autoflowering cannabis plants flower based on age instead of light cycles, making them easier to grow.
- Cannabis today has more THC (the main psychoactive compound) than it did a few decades ago due to selective breeding and cultivation techniques.
- Cannabis contains many chemical compounds including THC, which has intoxicating effects that alter mood, thoughts, and perceptions.
- Raw cannabis does not cause a high because THC is present mostly in an inactive acid form (THCA). Heating cannabis activates THC, which causes psychoactive effects.
- Cannabis can be used recreationally, medicinally, and industrially, with varying effects depending on strain and consumption method.
- Cannabis is legal for recreational use in some countries and US states but remains illegal federally in the US.
- Cannabis smoke contains chemicals similar to tobacco smoke and some carcinogens, but the evidence regarding cancer risk is mixed. Using vaporizers or edibles avoids combustion-related toxins.
These facts reflect current understanding about cannabis, its composition, legal status, and effects. If a specific set of options is provided, I can help confirm which ones are true.
