Cannabis is fat soluble, and so someone who regularly uses a large amount of the drug may store some of it in their body. It can take up to thirty days for this to be fully metabolised and for the body to be clear of the drug. Cannabis is a hallucinogen . There has been a lot of discussion about the potentially beneficial medical uses of this substance, and its place in modern medicine. However, there is still little research into new Cannabis based products because of the difficulties in obtaining research licences and the political issues around the legalisation of Cannabis.
