Cannabis has several positive effects that allow for medical use as an anticonvulsant, antioxidant, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory agent (Archie & Cucullo, 2019).
These plants have different contents and vary in the amount of main active ingredients – cannabidiol (CBD) and D9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (Archie & Cucullo, 2019). This drug is obtained from three types of the cannabis plant called Cannabis indica, Cannabis sativa, and Cannabis ruderalis (Archie & Cucullo, 2019). It has been estimated that about 181 million people use it all over the world (Archie & Cucullo, 2019).
Cannabis is an illicit drug that is widely used worldwide.
