Grass

“Grass” is slang for cannabis. Many think it comes from the 1960’s Flower Power era, when cannabis was generally of a lower quality and took on a greener appearance similar to grass clippings. However, this term has an uncertain etymology, though it is thought to come from the Hindu text  “Atharvaveda,” or “Science of Charms,” written between 1000 and 900 BCE. The text referred to cannabis as “Sacred Grass.”

“I don’t think this grass is dry enough to cure.”

Medical Marijuana Science

Cannabis science is one of the fastest moving frontiers medicinal sciences in the world. The pharmacology behind it has been accelerated by the realization that we’re all already marinated in cannabis-like molecules (endocannabinoids) and their receptors.

Endocannabinoids help regulate many physiological processes such as your mood, memory, appetite, pain, immune function, metabolism, and bone growth to name a few. Consuming cannabis also modulates this endocannabinoid system in many ways. The effects can be benevolent, although sometimes problematic.

Understanding the science behind cannabis is a key factor in being able to fully enjoy its medicinal value.

People have been using cannabis as medicine for thousands of years. The plant has also been widely used clothing, fuel, food, fiber, and medicine.

Cannabis contains more than 120 different cannabinoid molecules. But, as far as we know, only one gets you high: THC. The plant itself contains a huge amount of cerebral, non-intoxicating THC cousins with emerging medicinal potential. Their abbreviated names are often: CBD, CBG, THC-V, CBC, and CBN to mention a few.
