Skunk refers to ''Cannabis'' strains that are strong-smelling and have been likened to the smell of the spray from a skunk. These strains of cannabis are believed to have originated in the United States prior to development by Dutch growers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=http://drugscope.org.uk/skunk/ )〕 Just as with other strains of cannabis, skunk is commonly grown in controlled indoor environments under specialized grow lights, or in a greenhouse when full outdoor conditions aren't suitable.〔http://www.drugscope.org.uk/resources/drugsearch/drugsearchpages/skunk〕 Skunk strains are hybrids of ''Cannabis sativa'' and ''Cannabis indica''. The combination of these two species produces unique effects. Additionally, skunk strains are considered to be more potent as they contain more THC than average cannabis strains. Skunk strains, along with other strains, are used for recreational use but are also popular among the medical community as a form of pain medication and management due to THC's analgesic effects on the body.〔 Cannabis may have physiological and psychological side effects/medical benefits depending on which strain is being ingested. These may include: decreased blood pressure,〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2225528/ )〕 rapid heart rate, bloodshot eyes, dry mouth, increased appetite, slowed reaction time, paranoia with uneven THC/CBD ratios, short-term memory loss, anxiety with uneven THC/CBD ratios or reduction in anxiety when the correct amount of CBD is present.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Marijuana - Marijuana Use and Effects of Marijuana )〕 Although these characteristics are present in other strains, due to its higher ratio of THC to CBD, negative side effects may be more prevalent in skunk strains as the percentage of CBD is lower.〔 While these negative side effects are a reality for some users, it is also used to aid individuals with certain medical conditions.〔 Therefore, the debate as to whether or not marijuana should be legalised is an ongoing debate found in politics and media in all parts of the world. Currently, cannabis is legal through prescription in The Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, India, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Switzerland, Spain, Uruguay and 20 various states in the U.S. ==Potency== Skunk strains typically have a 14 to 15% THC concentration.〔(pmid=10641915 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skunk (Cannabis)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
