Sidaan horay u soo sheegnay nooca sabiibku wuxuu ku xidhan yahay nooca midhaha canabka ah ee la isticmaalo. Sidoo kale waxaa jira in midhaha canabku leeyahay midabo badan oo kala duwan, (sida madoow, buluug, cagaar, buni, iyo huruud) kuwaasi oo ka turjumaya midabka uu yeelanayo sabiibku. Si loo helo sabiib saafi ah, waxaa inta ugu badan la isticmaalaa midho canab aan lahayn laf; meelaha qaarna waa laga saara lafta ku jirta canabka.
