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 en 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.

Getuigenissen

Ik wilde jullie even snel een berichtje sturen om jullie heel erg te bedanken voor jullie hulp en steun tijdens mijn verblijf in Ibiza Calm. Elke persoon in het huis was op zijn eigen manier belangrijk voor mijn herstel. Ik ben jullie allemaal erg dankbaar. Het is niet altijd makkelijk, maar het is haalbaar. Mijn leven is veel beter dan voordat ik hier kwam en ik ben nu zeker een betere versie van mezelf.

Getuigenissen

Mijn zoon bezocht twee afkickklinieken voordat hij naar Ibiza Calm ging. Ibiza Calm was echter precies wat het pretendeerde te zijn. Ze werkten met mijn zoon als een vitale bondgenoot in zijn herstelproces, niet als een persoon die gebroken en gerepareerd moest worden volgens een vast schema, die de schuld zou krijgen en beschaamd zou worden als hij niet goed reageerde op het behandelprotocol en het schema van de faciliteit. De therapeut die aan mijn zoon werd toegewezen, wist de juiste balans te vinden tussen hem in een tempo laten bewegen waarin hij zich prettig voelde en hem pushen om een uitdagend tempo van zelfontdekking en herstel aan te houden. Mijn zoon is rustig en zelfbewust uit deze behandeling gekomen, terwijl hij bij de andere programma's boos en zelfs getraumatiseerd was. Mijn zoon is pas 6 weken uit Ibiza Calm, dus het succes op de lange termijn om nuchter te blijven valt nog te bezien, maar de verandering in zijn houding en gedrag is zo ingrijpend dat ik voor het eerst in jaren weer goede hoop heb voor de toekomst. Ik beveel Ibiza Calm aan zonder voorbehoud, eerder met overweldigende dankbaarheid.
