Are Cannabis Seeds A Wise Choice?

2009.04.03

There are a myriad of articles on cannabis, or weed, pot, smoke, grass and many other names, but one argument that you don’t see too much of is the one about the use of cannabis seeds. There is a lot about the ill effects of mixing weed with alcohol, cocaine, even heroin, but what is it about the seeds that get people wondering? Is it some kind of magic power that makes it so controversial, or is it wondering what could be in something so small that creates the reaction that it does?

Ever since the sixties, there has been all kinds of controversy about marijuana and whether it should be legalized or made even more of a criminal offence like it now in the U.K., where pot is now in the same class as speed, so why the wonder about the seed?

Well, the seed of the plant may be small, but when the seeds are included in the joint, blunt, what have you; they alter the normal effects of the pot. Normally, weed can produce alterations in time and space perception, but at the same time giving a warm glow feeling where you feel good.

With the seeds into the mix, things take on a wilder edge. When the seeds are hot, they pop, and once they do, they release what is inside them. The seeds take the normal effect of marijuana and amplify its effects, making the user, (especially the first time use), get a feeling of euphoria which leads to inhibitions going out the window and giving way to a lot of laughter. The more the intake increases, the more the inhibitors decrease, which account for the multiple stories about nudism exploits and a difficulty with more complex mental activity, also giving rise to lots of laughter, but what about the side effects?

Some have complained about depression, drowsiness, lethargy, and agitation while smoking up, saying that sometimes they get into hallucinogenic states, and sometimes even panic. These effects are usually from too much intake, in other words, an overdose.

Grass overdoses are rarely anything to get concerned about, it’s usually the ones who have tried it for the first time who don’t know what is happening that complain.
Cannabis has been used medicinally for over 5,000 years, so, there is little to no chance of any fatality associated with it. The problem that can occur while taking pot is the uninhibited person starts to mix it with other substances, and that is where the time bomb explodes.
Therefore, the cannabis seeds can cause changes in perception of space, time, sound, and in mood. The use of it can be detected in the urine for up to 20 days for the occasional user, but, in reality, there is no immediate danger or threat to the use of cannabis seeds, unless mixed with other toxic substances, and that’s the heart, (or seed), of the matter.
