Cannabis influence on brain

Cannabis, with its compounds THC and CBD, interacts with the brain's endocannabinoid system, producing various effects. THC, responsible for the psychoactive "high," affects memory, learning, and mood. CBD, non-psychoactive, shows potential neuroprotective effects. Concerns arise about cannabis impact on developing brains, especially in adolescents. Medical cannabis is being explored for therapeutic benefits in neurological conditions like epilepsy and chronic pain, with ongoing research to better understand its effects on the brain.
