Factors such as the strain of cannabis used, individual sensitivity to THC or CBD, and the method of administration chosen play a major role. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, the use of cannabis, even in ground form, is not without risks. For example, side effects such as dizziness, anxiety or difficulty concentrating may occur. With frequent use, there is also the risk of dependence or negative effects on memory and cognitive functions, especially in young people or those with increased vulnerability to mental illness.  <\/p>\n<p>When in doubt, always consult a doctor, especially if you are using cannabis in combination with medication or because of medical complaints.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weed grinding ensures even combustion, better taste and a more efficient release of cannabinoids such as THC and CBD.
