Ushwankathelo

Ukhula, ekwabizwa ngokuba yintsangu, sisiyobisi esivela kumagqabi, iintyatyambo, iziqu, kunye nembewu yazo I-Cannabis sativa okanye Isalathiso se-Cannabis isityalo. Kukho imichiza kwizityalo ezibizwa ngokuba yi-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) enezinto eziguqula ingqondo.

Ngokutsho kweNational Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), intsangu sesona siyobisi sisetyenziswa ngokungekho mthethweni eUnited States. Nangona amazwe asithoba, kunye neWashington, D.C., beyibhalisile intsangu ngokusemthethweni ukuba isetyenziswe ngokubanzi kwaye abanye abangama-29 bayibhalisile intsangu yezonyango, uninzi lwamazwe lusayijonga njengeyona nto ingekho mthethweni.

I-Marijuana, kunye ne-THC ngokukodwa, ibonakalisiwe ukunciphisa ukugabha okubangelwa yi-chemotherapy kunye nesicaphucaphu kubantu abanyangwa ngumhlaza. Inokukunceda ukunciphisa iintlungu zomonakalo wentsholongwane (i-neuropathy) kubantu abane-HIV okanye ezinye iimeko.

Ngaba ukhula lukhobokisa?

Ngokuka-NIDA, malunga neepesenti ezingama-30 zabasebenzisi bentsangu banokuba nohlobo oluthile lokusebenzisa intsangu. Kuqikelelwa ukuba phakathi kwe-10 kunye ne-30 yepesenti yabantu abatshaya ukhula bayakhula ukuxhomekeka, ngeepesenti ze-9 kuphela ezenza umlutha. Nangona kunjalo, amanani achanekileyo awaziwa.

Ukuphazamiseka kokusetyenziswa kweziyobisi kuqala ngendlela yokuxhomekeka, okanye ukufumana iimpawu zokurhoxa xa iyeza limisiwe okanye lingafakwanga kangangexesha elithile. Ukuxhomekeka kwenzeka xa ingqondo yakho isetyenziselwa ukutshabalalisa ukhula kwinkqubo yakho kwaye, ngenxa yoko, kunciphisa ukuveliswa kwayo kwee-endocannabinoid receptors. Oku kunokubangela ukucaphuka, ukutshintsha kwemozulu, iingxaki zokulala, ukuthanda, ukungazinzi, kunye nokungabikho komdla kwiiveki ezimbalwa emva kokuyeka. Oku kwahlukile kunokulutha.

Umlutha wenzeka xa umntu efumana utshintsho kwingqondo yakhe okanye ekuziphatheni njengesiphumo seziyobisi. Kuyenzeka ukuba uxhomekeke ngaphandle kokukhotyokiswa, ngenxa yoko akukho manani athembekileyo kwintsholongwane, utshilo uNIDA.

Ngo-2015, malunga nezigidi ezi-4 zabantu bahlangabezana neendlela zokuqonda isifo sokusetyenziswa kwentsangu. Ngokwe-National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, kwakuloo nyaka, malunga ne-15.1 lezigidi zabantu abadala eUnited States ngaphezulu kweminyaka ye-18 bahlangabezana neendlela zokuphazamiseka ekusebenziseni utywala. Ngo-2016, amaZiko oLawulo lweNtsholongwane kunye noThintelo (CDC) afumanise ukuba phantse abantu abadala eUnited States ngoku batshaya icuba.

Ziziphi iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zokutshaya ukhula?

Iindidi ezahlukeneyo zentsangu zinokuba nemali eyahlukeneyo ye-THC, kwaye kuxhomekeke ekubeni ngubani osasaza ukhula, kuhlala kukho umngcipheko wezinye iikhemikhali okanye iziyobisi ezinciphayo. Intsangu ebonelelwa ngamayeza okusetyenziswa ngokubanzi ithathwa njengekhuselekileyo. Iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zinokwenzeka nangaliphi na ixesha, nangona ezinye iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zixhomekeke kwidosi, njengoko kuchaziwe apha ngezantsi.

Ezinye iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zokhula zingabandakanya:

• intloko ebuhlungu
• umlomo owomileyo
• ukudinwa
• amehlo owomileyo
• ukwanda kwesidlo (esiqhele ukubizwa ngokuba yi “munchies”)
• ukukhohlela
• ukwahlukana okanye imeko eguqulweyo
• inguqu yexesha
• utywala okanye intloko
• igazi elonyukayo
• imemori ephazamisekileyo

Kwidosi ephezulu kakhulu, ukhula lunokubangela ukuba ube nemibono, ulahlekiso, okanye isifo sengqondo. Oku kunqabile, nangona kunjalo, kwaye akuyona into eqhelekileyo. Ezinye iingcali zikholelwa ukuba abantu abafumana isifo sengqondo ngenxa yentsangu basenokuba semngciphekweni wokuphazamiseka kwengqondo.

Abanye abantu abane-bipolar disorder, ukhula lunokuba mandundu ngakumbi kwimanic. Ukusetyenziswa rhoqo kwentsangu kunokunyusa iimpawu zokudakumba kunye nomngcipheko woxinzelelo. Ukuba unempilo yengqondo, le yinto ekufuneka uyiqwalasele kwaye mhlawumbi uthethe nogqirha wakho okanye ugqirha.

Ukuba uthatha nawaphi na amayeza, nokuba ngugqirha okanye ungaphezu kwekhawuntari, kufanelekile ukuba ukhangele ukuze ubone ukuba akukho naluphi na unxibelelwano olunokubakho. Ukhula lunokunyusa iziphumo zotywala, ukunganxibelelani kakubi namayeza okuvala igazi, kunye nokunyusa umngcipheko we-mania kubantu abathatha i-SSRI anti-depressants. Thetha nogqirha wakho malunga namayeza kunye nezongezelelo ozithathayo, nokuba ngaba kukho nakuphi na ukuhlangana okungalunganga okungaziwayo nokhula.

Umgca wezantsi

Intsangu inokuba luncedo kubantu abahlukeneyo, ngakumbi abo baphila neemeko ezithile ezibangela iintlungu, ukugabha okukhulu, okanye ukungabinamdla wokutya. Njengamayeza amaninzi okanye izongezo, ukhula lunokuba nakho ukuba likhoboka kwabanye abantu.

Umlutha ubandakanya inani lezinto, kwaye ukunqongophala kweenkcukacha-manani ezicacileyo malunga nokhula kwenza ukuba esi sihloko sibe nzima. Ukuba ukhathazekile malunga nokuba nakho ukuba likhoboka, thetha nogqirha wakho malunga neenkxalabo zakho.
