UPDATE:
|
|
Well, we have dead the last couple of weeks because of
|
|
my BBS crashing. I have been busy looking for some new
|
|
software. I finally got some and it is back up, so give it
|
|
a call again.

THE ANCIENT DRUG CANNABIS
|
|
|
|
The ancient drug has the properties of sedative, euphoriant, and
|
|
hallucinogen. The hemp plant called "Cannibis Sativa" grows throughout the
|
|
world and flourishes most temperate and tropical regions. One of humanity's
|
|
oldest cultivated nonfood plants, it appears to have orginated in Asia. The
|
|
earliest written Cannibis sativa dates from approximately 2700 b.c. The
|
|
active compound, THC, is most concentrated in the resin obtained from the
|
|
flowers of the female plant.
|
|
|
|
The substance called "marijuana" can be made up of any part of the
|
|
plant, but is generally a mixture of the crushed leaves, flowers, and even
|
|
small branches of both the male and female plants. Its potency varies from
|
|
0 to 5 percent, depending on the plant strain, growth conditions, and parts
|
|
of the plant included. "Hashish" or "Hash oil" are the most potent
|
|
preperations, usually containing primarily the actaul resinous exudate of
|
|
the female flowers: their THC concentrations range from 5 to 20 percent and
|
|
20 to 70 percent, respectively. THC is the active ingredient in all
|
|
preperations, only its purity varies.
|
|
|
|
Over the past 20 years, there has been much controversy regarding the
|
|
toxicity of marijuana and the effects of its widespread use on public health
|
|
and social welfare. Several governmet reports have addressed the concerns,
|
|
and additional reports are certain to follow.
|
|
|
|
THC is a difficult compound to classify. At low moderate doses, THC is
|
|
a mile sedative-hypnotic agent resembling alcohol and the antianxienty agents
|
|
in its pharmacological effects. Unlike the sedative-hypnotics, however,
|
|
higher doses of THC may produce euphoria, hallucinations, and heightened
|
|
sensation, effects similar to a mild LSD experience. Also, unlike the
|
|
sedatives, high doses of THC do no produce anesthesia, coma, or death.
|
|
Similarily, there appears to be a little cross tolerance between THC and LSD
|
|
on one hand or between THC and the sedative-hypnotic compounds on the other.
|
|
Thus, the THC contained in the various preperations of "Cannabis" is only
|
|
superficially related to either the sedatives or the psychedelics.
|
|
|
|
The courts often classified the products from "Cannabis sativa" with
|
|
the opiates as narcotics. As well known and appreciated today, marijuana
|
|
and hashish are not narcotics and are pharmacologically quite distinct from
|
|
them. Cannabis products are currently used in the U.S. chiefly in the form
|
|
of marijuana, which is approximately 1 to 5 percent concentration of THC.
|
|
Potent Cannabis products are not as frequently encountered, and, even when
|
|
they are, are normally used is small quantities. It is only in high doses
|
|
of THC that Cannabis resembles that psychedelics in its pharmacological
|
|
effects. Thus, at least for the present discussion, THC will be classified as
|
|
a unique psychoactive drug. The structure of THC does not resemble that of
|
|
any known or suspected chemical transmitter, and its mechanism of action
|
|
remains unknown.
