Many people are drawn to cannabis for the feeling it imbues, but cannabis has side effects and problems with overuse. Most users choose to ignore these problems due to its psychedelic effects.
One of the best ways to understand how cannabis affects our health is through the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. While these concepts may seem unfamiliar, regular users of cannabis may find they offer a clear explanation of their experience.
The 3 Treasures
Chinese medicine focuses on what are known as the Three Treasures that constitute our life. These are known as Jing (essence), Qi (vitality), and Shen (spirit). The goal of Chinese medicine practitioners is to harmonize the Three Treasures.
