A Short Overview Of Kush And Its Uses

By Jaclyn Hurley


When talk turns to the subject of Cannabis there seems to be as many opinions as speakers. Many people say that it is a harmless herb that is not addictive or harmful. In fact, many people are convinced that it is medicinal and that regular use can help relieve or even cure a host of illnesses. Others disagree strongly. In many countries it is illegal to deal in or even use Cannabis, or Kush as some call it. However, there are countries where it is legal and where it is sold in public places.

Cannabis is indigenous to South and Central Asia. This flowering plant has been used for many different purposes for a very long time. Some plants are specially cultivated to produce a lot of fiber, and are used for the production of hemp, a strong fiber. The plant is also used for medicinal purposes, but, of course, it is its use as a recreational drug that causes the most controversy.

One of the most common uses of Cannabis as a medical herb is to help patients receiving chemotherapy to battle nausea and vomiting. Several studies have concluded that that using the herb is more effective than using the standard prescription medicines which can lead to unpleasant side effects such as altered moods, dizziness and even hypotension. Cannabis stimulates the appetite and is therefore also often given to patients suffering from HIV.

There can be little doubt that Marijuana is highly effective in relieving pain. Terminally ill patients experiencing chronic pain often use it for relief, but many other patients also use it for the same purpose. In addition, multiple sclerosis patients are given Cannabis to treat the problem of spasticity. Ten different countries have approved Cannabis for use in these circumstances.

Cannabis is not only used for medicinal purposes. Evidence has been found that it has been used in religious ceremonies as far as 2700 years ago. The Jushi culture used it as an aid to divination. There is also ample evidence that it has been used extensively as part of religious ceremonies in the east. Nowadays, the Rastafarian movement claims that Cannabis is an essential part of their religion.

There are many different ways in which to use Marijuana. Most people smoke it in one form or another, using a pipe, a bong or a homemade cigarette. Some people even fashion pipes from fruits such as apples, claiming that it purifies the smoke and provide a pleasant aroma. Many people use a special device to vaporize the plant and to then inhale the resultant fumes.

Many users prefer to eat or drink their Marijuana. This is especially popular in environments where smoking is not allowed or when in situations where some members of the company will frown upon the use of Cannabis. There are numerous recipes for cookies, muffins and other foods that contain Cannabis. The main disadvantage is that it takes longer to achieve the desired effect.

People have strong opinions regarding Cannabis, either in favor or against. Critics say that it is a dangerous drug that can cause addiction and that will alter the personalities of regular users. Those in favor say that it is a natural herb that is not dangerous but that it actually offer many benefits.
