class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marijuana has been the subject of numerous claims that are not always supported by scientific evidence. Many of these misconceptions have been perpetuated over time, creating confusion and misinformation. Below, <\/span><b>we debunk some of the most common myths about marijuana<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFLa_marihuana_crea_adiccion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is marijuana addictive?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A widespread myth is that marijuana causes an unpleasant <\/span><b>strong physical addiction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of drugs, comparable to that of substances such as heroin or cocaine. However, <\/span><b>reality is different<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Although marijuana can generate <\/span><b>psychological dependence<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in some users, the <\/span><b>physical addiction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is significantly lower than for other drugs such as alcohol, tobacco or opiates. According to scientific studies, only between 9 % and 10 % of regular users develop dependence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that, although the risk exists, it is considerably lower than that of other legal substances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFFumar_marihuana_afecta_de_forma_permanente_al_cerebro\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does smoking marijuana permanently affect the brain?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0This is one of the most troubling myths, especially for parents and educators. It is believed that marijuana use can cause <\/span><b>irreversible brain damage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">particularly in young people. However, scientific evidence suggests that the negative effects, such as a temporary decrease in memory or concentration, are related to the <\/span><b>excessive and prolonged use<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not with moderate consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, these effects are usually <\/span><b>reversible<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when consumption is stopped. However, it is true that adolescents, whose brains are still developing, may be more susceptible to these temporary effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFEs_menos_danina_que_el_tabaco\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is it less harmful than tobacco?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a frequent topic of debate. Many people consider smoking marijuana to be <\/span><b>less harmful<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than tobacco. However, <\/span><b>it all depends on the form and frequency of consumption<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Unlike tobacco, marijuana does not contain nicotine, which is a highly addictive substance. However, <\/span><b>cannabis smoke<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may also contain toxins that affect the lungs, especially if smoked regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In comparison, the consumption of marijuana through vaporizers or oils can <\/span><b>reduce damage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> associated with smoke, making the risk highly dependent on the method used.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFEl_consumo_de_marihuana_reduce_la_motivacion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does marijuana use reduce motivation?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This myth has been popularized by stereotypes in movies and television series. According to this belief, marijuana consumers become people <\/span><b>lazy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> y <\/span><b>unmotivated<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, recent studies have not found a direct relationship between moderate marijuana use and a permanent decrease in motivation or productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is true that some people may experience <\/span><b>temporary feelings of relaxation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a more passive attitude after cannabis use, but this does not necessarily translate into a lasting loss of motivation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFConsumir_marihuana_lleva_a_otras_drogas_mas_fuertes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does using marijuana lead to other, stronger drugs?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The so-called \"gateway theory\" has been one of the most widely used arguments to justify the illegality of marijuana. According to this myth, the consumption of marijuana would inevitably lead to the use of <\/span><b>most dangerous drugs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as cocaine or heroin. However, <\/span><b>scientific studies have disproved this belief.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people who use marijuana do not go on to use harder drugs. In fact, factors such as social environment, genetic predisposition and personal experiences play a much greater role in the development of addiction to other substances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17362 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecutbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mitos-sobre-la-marihuana.webp\" alt=\"Myths about marijuana\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecutbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mitos-sobre-la-marihuana.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.thecutbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mitos-sobre-la-marihuana-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.thecutbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mitos-sobre-la-marihuana-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.thecutbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mitos-sobre-la-marihuana-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thecutbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mitos-sobre-la-marihuana-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Curiosidades_sobre_la_marihuana\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curiosities about marijuana<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the <\/span><b>myths about marijuana<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many curious facts that show surprising facets of this plant.

Although the scientific name of the plant is <\/span><b>Cannabis sativa<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The term \"marijuana\" comes from a combination of Mexican words used at the beginning of the 20th century. This term was disseminated and popularized in the United States during the campaigns of <\/span><b>criminalization of cannabis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in an attempt to associate the plant with racial and social stigmas related to the Mexican migrant population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the term has lost much of that connotation, but it is still the most widely used name worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Los_usos_medicinales_de_la_marihuana\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The medicinal uses of marijuana<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For centuries, cannabis has been a plant with applications <\/span><b>medicinal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Various cultures, such as Chinese, Indian and Egyptian, already used its therapeutic properties to alleviate pain and other ailments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, thanks to scientific studies, it is known that marijuana contains <\/span><b>active compounds<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as THC and CBD, which have different effects on the body. For example, CBD is used in treatments for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Chronic pain<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Epilepsy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> resistant to other drugs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Anxiety<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and sleep disorders<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, several countries have approved the medicinal use of cannabis, providing regulated access to these treatments to those who need them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paises_con_leyes_mas_flexibles_sobre_el_consumo\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Countries with more flexible consumer laws<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although marijuana use continues to be <\/span><b>illegal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In many countries, some governments have taken a more proactive stance in <\/span><b>flexible<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
