Cannabis is a generic term used to denote the several psychoactive preparations of the plant Cannabis sativa. The major psychoactive constituent in cannabis is ∆-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Compounds which are structurally similar to THC are referred to as cannabinoids. In addition, a number of recently identified compounds that differ structurally from cannabinoids nevertheless share many of their pharmacological properties.

This thinking is outdated, it's almost half century since, thousands of studies have proved the potential benefits of medical cannabis treatment. Now being legal for medicinal purposes in 33 states and more to join, it remains federally illegal. At the same time, dangerous prescription drugs are everywhere. Despite their constant price hikes, they continue to sell rapidly. Average American, spends more than $1,100 on prescription annually. A report by IQVIA released in May 2017, showed that spending would increase by up to 7% in the next four years.
