Abstract
This study was conducted to better understand the medical implications of marijuana and the biochemical basis of its effects on psychiatric health. Δ9-tetradydrocannabinol (THC) is a cannabinoid in marijuana with structure similar to neurotransmitter anandamide, allowing THC to bind to cannabinoid receptors on regions of the nervous system associated with memory formation, coordination, and attention focus. THC and CBD in marijuana are observed to have implications for treatment in cancer patients for moderate pain relief, narcoleptic seizures, and possibly inhibition of cancer cell activity. Regulation of marijuana should be considered due to its great potential for misuse. This study will review will reflect upon the biochemical properties of marijuana and other products derived from Cannabis and methods of marijuana ingestion for both recreational and medical purposes. It will further elaborate upon the implications of Cannabis in medical use, side effects, social risks and the holistic overview of the basic properties of Cannabis and other implications.
