Transcript: RECREATIONAL DRUGS: CANNABIS The Mode Of Action of Cannabis MODE OF ACTION Effects of cannanbis are explained on the basis of the cannabinoid receptor system. The main ingredient in cannabis is THC which binds to and activates the specific receptors known as cannabanoid receptors. Cannabinoid receptros There are two main cannabinoid receptors that are acted on; cannabinoid 1 and 2 How THC works THC interferes with the normal functioning of receptors in parts of the brain by activating cannabinoid receptors 1 and 2; it stops them from carrying on their normal function at the synapse. Parts of the brain affected The Cerebellum The Hippocampus The temporal lobe How the brain is affected Cannabis affects the cerebellum, the part of the brain involved in balance, posture and coordination of movement. The hippocampus is involved with memory formation, someone who is taking marijuana will have impaired short term memory and new learning may be needed. Cannabis also affects the temporal lobe responsible for processing sensory input; cannabis use leads to enhancement of perception. PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS Physiological Effects When Cannabis is smoked by non-tolerant individuals, some of the physiological effects include: - increased heart rate - Dry mouth - Eyes reddening - Muscle relaxation PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS Psychological effects Cannabis use affects the hypothalamus causing increased appetite. As well as this, it affects the amygdala causing increased anxiety and paranoia. The hippocampus is also affected by cannabis use by impairing learning. WITHDRAWAL W WITHRAWAL - Depression - Apetite changes -Vvid dreams - Increased Aggression

Transcript: Cannabis Presentation By Axel, Mady and Ben What is Cannabis? Cannabis and It's Effects Cannabis, which is also known as marajuanna or weed (among other things), is a product of the cannabis or hemp plant that is used for its psychoactive and therapeutic effects. It comes in many forms, including as dried flowers and leaves; hash; extracts and shatter; and edibles (e.g., candies, butter or baked goods). More than 100 chemicals, called cannabinoids, have been identified as specific to the cannabis plant. THC is the main psychoactive cannabinoid and is most responsible for the “high” associated with cannabis use. According to the Canadian Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey, 27% of Canadians use cannabis recreationally as of 2022. The Effects of Cannabis The Effects of Cannabis Cannabis can have a different effect on everyone. The effect it has on you depends on how you take it(smoking, vaping, edibles, ect.), how much you use, how long you've been using cannabis, and many other variables. You may feel relaxed, lively, talkative, giggly and even euphoric, or it can make you feel tense, anxious, fearful and confused. The kind of experience you may have can vary from one time to another, usually because of the amount taken, the method used and how often you use it. Physical Effects of Cannabis Some physical effects of cannabis use include red/dry eyes, dry month, increase in heart rate and/or appitite, decrease in blood preasure, ballance and/or stability. Symptoms and Medical Uses Medical Uses for Cannabis Some Medical Uses for Cannabis Cannabis can be used to regulate/manage symptoms from several medical conditions. Some of these symptoms are nausea, pain, seizures, depression, insomnia, among other things. Cannabis is used to treat conditions such as Alzheimers desease, ALS, HIV/AIDS, Crohns desease, Epilepsy, and severe chromic pain. Types of Cannabis There are 2 main species of cannabis, indica and sativa. Both are used for several reasons, both medical and recreational. Recently, a third species, called ruderalis, has also been discovered. There are also hybrid strains which are made up of a mix of the 2 major species. Types of Cannabis Indica vs Sativa Indica Vs. Sativa Hybrids Hybrid strains are made by cross breeding 2 different strains of Cannabis in an attempt to produce effects of both. Most of the strains that are commonly grown today are hybrids rather than pure indica or sativa. Hybrids Pros and Cons of Using Cannabis Pros: - Pain Relief - Inproved sleep - Reduced nausea/vomitting -Improved appitite -Helps treat many illnesses -Prevents seizures -Lowers blood pressure The Pros and Cons of Using Cannabis Cons: -Breathing problems -Increased heartrate -Problems with development with children during and after pregnancy -Headaches -Fatigue -Memory Loss Paranoia Conclusion People use cannabis for many different reasons, both medically and recreationally.
