Narrado por: Stuart Bentley

Cannabis has been used for thousands of years for rope, food, and medicine. Although growing amounts of research are showing cannabis as safe and medically helpful for many conditions, this plant still has to deal with the stigma it has for being illegal and dangerous. Now that cannabis is becoming legal in many countries and in some US states, more people are beginning to wonder if cannabis is good for them or which cannabis product is for them.

Medical and recreational cannabis use are two different things. What makes medical use different than recreational is having access to types of products and learning about dosing with intent for medical use.

Sometimes recreational use is medical use, as people specifically look for relief of symptoms that comes with the high users seek. Athletes and long-time cannabis users have been saying for years that most of us self-medicate with cannabis as a safe and reliable medicine. Cannabis laws across the world continue to regulate medical cannabis as distinct from recreational use.
