What is Cannabis?

Cannabis, sometimes referred to as marijuana, weed, or pot, is a psychoactive drug derived from the Cannabis plant. The plant contains over 100 chemical compounds known as cannabinoids, with the two most well-known being tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is primarily responsible for the psychoactive effects, or the “high,” that users experience, while CBD is non-psychoactive and often associated with therapeutic benefits.

Cannabis can be consumed in various forms, including smoking, vaping, edibles, oils, and tinctures. It is widely used for both recreational and medicinal purposes.

Cannabis use, while often perceived as harmless, can lead to significant issues for some individuals, including addiction. Heavy cannabis consumption, or consumption of some of the high-potency products, such as “skunk”, can lead to psychosis y psychological conditions.

Recognising the signs of cannabis abuse and understanding the available treatment options are crucial steps toward recovery. With the right support and treatment, overcoming cannabis addiction is possible, leading to a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Types of cannabis

Cannabis comes in various strains and forms, each with different levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD (cannabidiol), and other cannabinoids. These differences can lead to varying effects and risks:

Cannabis sativa:

- Characteristics: Sativa strains are typically higher in THC and lower in CBD.
- Effects: Known for its energising and uplifting effects, it’s often used during the day for its stimulating properties.
- Risks: High THC levels can lead to anxiety, paranoia, and an increased risk of psychosis, particularly in those predisposed to mental health issues.

 

Cannabis indica:

- Characteristics: Indica strains generally have higher CBD levels, although they also contain significant THC.
- Effects: Indica is known for its relaxing and sedative effects, making it popular for nighttime use.
- Risks: While it may seem less risky due to the calming effects, high THC levels can still impair cognitive functions, and long-term use may lead to dependency.

Hybrid strains:

- Characteristics: Hybrids are crossbred from Sativa and Indica strains, aiming to combine the effects of both.
- Effects: The effects vary widely depending on the dominance of Sativa or Indica in the hybrid.
- Risks: Hybrid strains can be unpredictable, with some having high THC content, leading to increased risk of adverse effects.

Hashish (Hash):

- Characteristics: Hash is made by compressing the resin from cannabis plants, resulting in a more potent form of cannabis.
- Effects: Hashish is typically stronger than regular cannabis flower, leading to more intense psychoactive effects.
- Risks: The higher concentration of THC increases the potential for addiction, overdose, and severe psychological effects.

 

Concentrates (Wax, Shatter, Oils):

- Characteristics: These are highly concentrated forms of cannabis, often containing 60-90% THC.
- Effects: Extremely potent, leading to a faster, more intense high.
- Risks: The high THC levels can cause severe anxiety, hallucinations, and an increased risk of cannabis use disorder. The potency also raises the likelihood of consuming too much too quickly, which can result in dangerous physical and psychological reactions.

 

Edibles:

- Characteristics: Cannabis-infused food and beverages that are ingested rather than smoked.
- Effects: The onset of effects is slower, but they can be more intense and longer lasting compared to smoking.
- Risks: Because effects are delayed, users may consume more than intended, leading to overdose. The intensity and duration of the effects can cause significant distress and disorientation.

Synthetic cannabis (Spice, K2):

- Characteristics: These are man-made chemicals sprayed onto dried plant material to mimic the effects of THC.
- Effects: Synthetic cannabinoids can be much more potent than natural cannabis, leading to severe and unpredictable effects.
- Risks: These substances are highly dangerous, with risks including severe anxiety, hallucinations, heart attacks, seizures, and even death. Unlike natural cannabis, the chemicals in synthetic cannabis can vary greatly in potency and toxicity.

Testimonios

Quería dejaros un mensaje rápido para agradeceros mucho vuestra ayuda y apoyo durante mi estancia en Ibiza Calm. Todas y cada una de las personas de la casa fueron importantes a su manera en mi recuperación. Me siento muy agradecida a todos vosotros. No siempre es fácil pero se puede conseguir. Mi vida es mucho mejor de lo que era antes de venir y definitivamente soy una mejor versión de mí misma ahora.

Testimonios

Mi hijo asistió a dos centros de rehabilitación antes de ir a Ibiza Calm. Ibiza Calm, sin embargo, era exactamente lo que decía ser. Trabajaron con mi hijo como un aliado vital en su proceso de recuperación, no como una persona a la que hay que romper y arreglar de acuerdo con un régimen establecido, a la que se culparía y avergonzaría si no respondía adecuadamente al protocolo y al programa de tratamiento del centro. El terapeuta asignado a mi hijo encontró el equilibrio adecuado entre permitirle avanzar a un ritmo en el que se sintiera cómodo y presionarle para que mantuviera un ritmo exigente de autodescubrimiento y recuperación. Mi hijo ha salido de este tratamiento tranquilo y consciente de sí mismo; mientras que terminó los otros programas enfadado e incluso traumatizado. Mi hijo sólo ha estado 6 semanas fuera de Ibiza Calm, así que el éxito a largo plazo para mantenerse sobrio está por ver, pero el cambio en su actitud y comportamiento es tan profundo que tengo grandes esperanzas para el futuro por primera vez en años. Recomiendo Ibiza Calm sin reservas, más bien con una gratitud abrumadora.
