    Inhalants are one of the most deadly categories of psychoactive substances available . Psychoactive substances cause mood and mind altering when used.

The risks and problems that the consumption of hemp or other drugs can bring with them are legal and illegal, and depend on various factors, such as: type of drug, consumption behavior and social environment. A prohibition adds further problems: For the consumer, it means going into a criminal milieu, not having any information about the quality of drugs and being criminalized. For the society, the prohibition mainly means more crime and thus high costs for the police and the judiciary. Faced with the increasing medical use of cannabis and the trend to decriminalize both medical and non-medical use, one might suspect that the benefits of the drug are sufficiently known. But scientific research is still in children's shoes. In studies, the active ingredients of cannabis show promising pharmacological effects. Still, it will take some time to make sure that their knowledge is useful. The medicinal use of marijuana in the form of dried leaves and flowers of the Cannabis sativa cannabis and products derived therefrom dates back thousands of years. In Chinese medicine, medical marijuana use goes back to the 2727 BC. Cannabis came to Europe for the first time around the year 1840 and established itself in the medical world of Europe and America in the decades afterwards. At that time there were over…
