Radula is actually a genus of plants that contains about 300 different species, such as Radula marginata or Radula laxiramea, and that seems to have similar effects to cannabis, another plant, popularly known as marijuana, which has a sedative and hallucinogen.
While in cannabis, the substance that has an effect on the brain is tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, in Radula, the substance is called perrotinolene or PET, and seems to affect the same brain receptors as THC, causing not only hallucinations and sensations.leading to marijuana use as well as some health benefits.
- Radula is a traditional plant from New Zealand.
- Costa Rica and Japan.
- Which has a very simple structure and small leaves that resemble scales.
- Which are often compared to moss.
In these countries, species of the genus Radula have traditionally been used by indigenous peoples for many years to address certain health problems, but scientists are only now studying them to identify all their effects and understand whether they are safe for health.
Because it acts directly in the brain and has a strong analgesic effect, Radula PET can be used for medicinal purposes to help treat certain problems such as:
However, as with marijuana, several studies are still needed to confirm these properties and assess their safety.
Due to the similarity to the components of marijuana, Radula PET can cause various side effects in the body, especially when used indiscriminately. Some of these effects can include difficulty moving, apathy, decreased motor coordination, impaired heart rate, decreased libido, and even hormonal changes.
However, it is also possible that these negative effects are less than those of marijuana, since the concentration of PET in Radula is lower than that of THC in marijuana, being about 0.7 to 7% compared to 10% THC in marijuana.
In addition, PET appears to affect neurons less negatively than THC and does not appear to produce long-term memory problems, as long as it is used correctly.
See what are the main side effects of marijuana, which could also occur with the use of Radula.
