Hemp is after alcohol and tobacco the most widely used drug. It is either smoked or eaten. The active ingredient is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the higher the THC-level the stronger the effects. Hash usually contains more THC than weed, hash-oil can contain up to 50% of THC.
Using a normal dose of hash or weed could have the following
effects:
dry mouth, read eyes, a slightly accelerated heart-rate
limbs feel heavy
coordination seems difficult
your present mood is intensified
effects of a normal dose are also:
carefree mood
visual and auditive perception is intensified; music and surroundings get different (for the better).
perception of time and space changes
relaxation
craving for (sweet) food
having the giggles
short-term memory is temporarily diminished
fast-paced line of thought
a higher dose results in:
the above effects, but even stronger. Sometimes resulting in fear, or paranoia (bad trip). The only remedy is relaxation, a sweet drink, change of surroundings and (a) reassuring friend(s).
heavily using hash or weed could inhibit the psychological development in young people (using it just to forget problems, instead of solving them).
smoking is always bad to your health
smoking while pregnant is a bad idea
there is the possibility of a bad trip, if too much is taken or if the set or setting are wrong.
Driving while stoned is not a good idea.
In many countries the use and possession of marihuana is illegal. Don't EVER cross a border while in possession of ANY drug (except alcohol and tobacco...).
If you suffer from depressions, psychosis or anxiety, it's best not to use hemp.
