Today, April 20, World Marijuana Day is celebrateda date that arouses mixed passions: from the euphoria of legalization advocates to the concern of those who see it as a threat to public health.
An uncertain origin and a universal code: Although the history of 420as this day is colloquially known, dates back to a group of California students in the 1970s, its exact meaning remains a mystery.
What is a fact is that it has become a universal code for cannabis lovers, a symbol of unity and celebration for a culture that has found in this plant a source of pleasure, well-being and, in some cases, healing.
Beyond smoke: the medicinal uses of cannabis:
Far from the image of the recreational joint, marijuana has gained an important space in the medical field. Various studies have shown its effectiveness in the treatment of various ailments, such as chronic pain, nausea associated with chemotherapy, muscle spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis and even epilepsy.
Cannabidiol (CBD), one of the main components of the plant, has been especially recognized for its anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic and neuroprotective properties. More and more countries around the world are regulating the medicinal use of cannabis, recognizing its potential to improve the quality of life of thousands of patients.
An open debate: legalization, control and responsible consumption:
The legalization of recreational marijuana use continues to be a highly debated topic. Proponents argue for individual freedom, potential economic benefits and reduced drug trafficking. Detractors, on the other hand, worry about the mental health risks, especially in adolescents, and the increase in the number of traffic accidents under the influence of the drug.
