High doses can also lead to paranoia, panic attacks, depression, confusion, vomiting, and hallucinations. If children accidentally ingest this plant or products made with it, this can lead to severe toxicity requiring hospitalization and major medical intervention. Symptoms of poisoning in a child are likely to include lethargy, a loss in balance and coordination, changes in speech, and elevated heart rate. Child poisoning is most likely to occur from accidental ingestion if marijuana products are in the home.

Name Story


Marijuana

Marijuana is actually originated from Mexican Spanish. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word may have evolved from mallihuan, meaning "prisoner". Many legal references prefer the term "cannabis" which is practiced strictly in the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. However, many laws and regulations often use the term, "marijuana", such as the Controlled Substances Act in the United States.


Interesting Facts


Marijuana has a long history of religious and spiritual application. Especially in India, it has been used for centuries by wandering saints. A more representative religion with the use of marijuana is Rastafari, Jamaica. Other historians suspect that it was used by ancient Jews, early Christians and early Muslim Sufis. Another warrior religious sect, Hashshashin, came from hemp resin, hashish. In addition, many people use marijuana for spiritual needs unrelated to specific religions. This type of use is prohibited in many parts of the world, but the more prohibited it is, the more people want to use it.

Chamomile, basil, and other plants with strong aromas make excellent companion plants.
