Marijuana refers to the dried leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds from the hemp plant Cannabis Sativa. The main active ingredient in marijuana (or cannabis, weed, pot, Mary Jane) is the mind-altering chemical delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, better known as THC.

Over 30 states have laws on the books legalizing marijuana for medical use only, while several others have only legalized oils with low-THC content. cannabis is still illegal under federal law.

 Side effects of cannabis

Some of the common discomforts found when using marijuana include dry mouth, swollen eyelids, bloodshot eyes, loss of coordination, and an accelerated heart rate.

Growing cannabis yourself

Growing a few cannabis plants yourself has a number of advantages.

In the first place, it saves you money in the long run. With some varieties, such as autoflower cannabis, you can even have several harvests a year.

Secondly, you are no longer dependent on a dealer. And that also has to do with perhaps the most important advantage: you know exactly what you get.

If you raise a plant yourself, from seed to harvest, then you know exactly what nutrition (or chemicals) the plant has received. If you buy from a dealer, you don’t.

If you grow your own cannabis plant, from seed to harvest, you know exactly what is in the end product. And that is very reassuring.
