Cannabis, which is mostly known as Marijuana or weed, is a plant that acts as a psychoactive drug. It serves numerous purposes like medicinal and recreational ones. Marijuana gets its power from its active principle, which is tetrahydrocannabinol. It is a Schedule 1 drug, which implies the fact that Marijuana or Cannabis has more potential of being abused, which is a very well-established fact. According to a United States of America based survey report, six percent of the teenagers in the USA were under the influence of Marijuana, which adds up to one out of every sixteen high school kids.
Debates around Marijuana
With a whole lot of controversies and debates, Marijuana has managed to manipulate every ill effect it causes and has gregariously expanded its selling and purchasing all around the globe, barring a few countries. Due to its medicinal purposes, Marijuana had the clean- chit for being legalized in the year 2000. But the recreational usage of Marijuana became legal in the year 2017, most probably because of the exceptional growth in the number of its consumers.
Ways of Consuming Marijuana
Marijuana can be smoked through a joint or pipe, and it can be inhaled via a vaporizer. People often brew it just like tea or coffee and then drink it, and if in case no such facilities are available, then people eat it with some food item.
The core of all-purpose Marijuana lies in the resins or the female flower of the plant. Precisely the bud is used. It is dried, nicely trimmed, and preserved. Later, it is crushed by lab-grade technology and is turned to hash, kief, dry silt.
Some common ways to consume Marijuana or weed are as follows:
- Joint
- Vaporizer
- Bong
Whiskey: on the rocks
Whiskey is another type of drug which has effects entirely contradictory to the effects of Marijuana. While both the drugs affect the brain, they have minimal similarities. On the one hand, when Marijuana acts as the alertness and energy booster. On the other hand, whiskey acts as a suppressant, which means it relaxes the body and mind, creating a trance or delusional state of mind. Therefore both drugs have different consequences on human behavior too. While the performance of the consumer increases rapidly after the intake of Marijuana. Whiskey drinking causes sleepiness.
Whiskey and Marijuana: a mixture of viciousness
If we go as per the millennial language, then kids have Marijuana; adults have whiskey, but legends mix them, and by the results so far, legends die.
Mixing whiskey and Marijuana is the deadliest decision you could ever make. Reason being the separate effects they have on the human mind and body. But, people do that very often. They smoke weed and drink alcohol simultaneously to get the feeling of being more ‘high.’ If taken in a limited amount and with some time interval between the consumption of both, it will not be as vicious as it can be in other circumstances.
People have the right to make choices, but while doing so, they should make sure that they differentiate between the right decisions and bad decisions. As it is said that the excess of anything is wrong. Even if we drink too much water, it causes adverse effects on our system — Normally, to stay safe, drink an appropriate amount of water. Use these substances within the prescribed limit to ensure your well being.
