How Much Does Bubba Kush Contain?
When you hear the term “Bubba Kush,” do you think it has to do with pot or bud? Actually, Bubba Kush comes from a naturally growing plant that contains an intoxicating and powerful concentration of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), also known as cannabis’ original ingredient. Even though bud is the preferred form of cultivation for the cannabis flower, Bubba has established itself as the most common and popular strain of cannabis. Many people mistakenly believe that Bubba is synonymous with marijuana, when in reality it is a completely different species entirely.
The name “Bubba” is not derived from any slang word for pot; it actually means “bitter,” in reference to the plant‘s bitter taste. Bubba was bred specifically to produce very potent strains, which gives the plant a high content of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Because of its highly potent nature, THC levels in Bubba Kush are considered extremely high. However, because of its potency, these high concentrations of THC can have a negative impact on the patient’s brain, inducing paranoia, anxiety, nausea, and other side effects. These symptoms only intensify if the patient begins to smoke the drug, and they may never be eliminated completely.
Currently, many scientists are still researching the possibility of reducing the harmful affects of THC on the brain tissue. However, at this time, the lack of concrete evidence does not indicate that reducing the levels of THC would reduce the negative effects. As a matter of fact, recent studies indicate that Bubba Kush may have even higher levels of THMs than other recreational drugs, including marijuana. Because of the lack of data pertaining to the effects of lower concentrations of THMs, it is unknown whether or not it is advisable to smoke Bubba Kush. Many medical experts believe that smoking the drug is not only dangerous, but could also result in serious health complications, such as respiratory problems and, in some cases, death.
It is important to remember that smoking any recreational drug, including marijuana, can prove fatal if the user smokes excessively. The same may be said for consuming any high concentration of any drug, including cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin, and marijuana. The reason behind this is that the amount of active ingredient in any one drug may vary. One high concentration may actually be lower than the next, depending on the body chemistry.
High levels of THMs are considered unhealthy. The negative consequences of these chemicals become even more serious when one considers the chronic illnesses, such as cancer, which are associated with high levels of THMs. Recent studies indicate that marijuana users often suffer from bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, and other chronic respiratory conditions. Furthermore, there have been several reports of a wide range of psychological symptoms, such as depression, paranoia, anxiety, agitation, mania, delusions, and schizophrenia. There have also been reports of mental illness, including bipolar and psychotic disorders, and even hallucinations and delusions. Many of these conditions are considered chronic conditions, meaning that the patient may be suffering from them for years.
Even though it may be easy to assume that high concentrations of THMs are inevitable, the fact is that marijuana smokers are more exposed to these carcinogenic chemicals when they smoke the drug, rather than ingesting it. One of the reasons why this occurs is because the marijuana smoke can easily be inhaled by the smoker. Another cause is that marijuana is smoked rather than smoking in the normal manner. It is possible to break marijuana into small pieces and ingest the concentrated portion, but this is not the usual way that the drug is consumed. However, it should be noted that the concentration of THMs present in cigarettes may be higher than in the water used to make them, as well as some other solids that may be ingested accidentally.
Recently, researchers have been looking at whether there is any correlation between Bubba Kush and certain types of cancer. It has been found that exposure to high levels of THMs has a significant impact on the progression of cancers in both animals and humans. It is believed that these compounds may play a role in the development of tumors. Because there are no human studies at this time, it is difficult to draw any conclusions. One of the major drawbacks of this research is that the sample size was rather small, meaning that it is still unclear whether the findings are generalizable to the general population. One thing is known, however, that the concentration of THMs found in marijuana smokers was significantly higher than in non-motor vehicle drivers.
While we do not know much about the long term health effects of Bubba Kush, we do know that this particular brand of cannabis is extremely addictive. Many users find that their urge to smoke increases exponentially once they begin smoking. This is likely to be very problematic for those who do not wish to become addicted to a substance that can cause serious health complications. The problem becomes one of balancing a healthy lifestyle to avoid dangerous substances such as marijuana.
