These can vary depending on the country and the type of use you intend (medicinal or recreational).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Certificados_medicos_y_prescripcion_medica\"><\/span>Medical certificates and medical prescription<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In most places where medicinal use is allowed, you need to get a <strong>medical prescription<\/strong>. Cannabis can\u2019t be bought without this document, and it must be authorized by a doctor to treat a specific condition, such as <strong>multiple sclerosis<\/strong> or chronic pain.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Regulaciones_por_edad_y_cantidad_permitida\"><\/span>Age and quantity regulations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Many countries restrict access to legal cannabis by age. <strong>The minimum age is generally 18 or 21<\/strong>.

Although it\u2019s popular, it also carries risks related to inhaling smoke.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Oral route:<\/strong> This includes <strong>edibles<\/strong> (such as cookies or gummies), as well as <strong>cannabis extracts<\/strong> or capsules that are swallowed. <strong>Consumed this way<\/strong>, marijuana takes longer to take effect, but the effects generally last longer.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Vaporization:<\/strong> Similar to smoking, but without combustion. The <strong>cannabis vapor<\/strong> is inhaled, which reduces damage to the lungs compared with smoking directly.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Topicals and creams:<\/strong> Products applied to the skin that are popular for treating localized pain or skin conditions. <strong>They don\u2019t produce psychoactive effects<\/strong>, since they aren\u2019t absorbed into the bloodstream in the same way as other forms of consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Each consumption method has its pros and cons.<\/strong> Your choice may depend on your medical needs, personal preferences, or the local laws regulating how cannabis can be consumed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFPuedo_cultivar_cannabis_en_casa\"><\/span>Can I grow cannabis at home?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Home <strong>cannabis cultivation<\/strong> is allowed in some countries and states, but under strict regulations. <strong>For example, in some regions of the United States personal cultivation is allowed<\/strong> as long as certain conditions are met, such as the number of plants and not selling the final product. In Spain, growing for your own use in a private place not visible from the street is not a crime, although there is no legal number of plants and plants visible from public space are an administrative offense. In other places, like the <strong>United Kingdom<\/strong>, cultivation is still illegal, although some cannabis-based products are allowed for medicinal use.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uso_recreativo_del_cannabis_%C2%BFDonde_esta_permitido\"><\/span>Recreational use of cannabis: Where is it allowed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Recreational cannabis use is legal in a limited number of places.<\/strong> <strong>Canada, Uruguay and some US states<\/strong> are known for allowing recreational use. However, <strong>each region has specific rules about where and how it can be consumed<\/strong>. In places where recreational use is legal, it\u2019s common to see <strong>designated areas<\/strong> for consumption, and smoking in public is usually prohibited.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limites_de_posesion_de_cannabis_%C2%BFCuanto_se_puede_llevar\"><\/span>Cannabis possession limits: How much can you carry?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In countries where cannabis is legal, whether for medicinal or recreational use, <strong>there are limits on how much you can possess<\/strong>. In many places, the limit is between 5 and 30 grams for personal use. Exceeding this limit can lead to penalties, even in places where its use has been legalized.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFQue_tipo_de_productos_de_cannabis_son_legales\"><\/span>What kind of cannabis products are legal?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Legal cannabis<\/strong> comes in various forms, each with its own specific uses, methods of consumption and concentrations of <strong>active ingredients<\/strong> such as THC and CBD. <strong>Below, I outline the most common products and their characteristics:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Flores_Secas\"><\/span>Dried Flowers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Use:<\/strong> Smoking or vaporizing.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Description:<\/strong> It is the most traditional form of cannabis, consisting of the dried buds of the marijuana plant.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Characteristics:<\/strong> Contains varying concentrations of THC and CBD, depending on the strain.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Regulation:<\/strong> The amount allowed for possession, the age of users and the places where consumption is permitted are regulated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Aceites_y_Extractos\"><\/span>2.

They also come in forms such as tinctures or drops.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Characteristics:<\/strong> They offer <strong>precise<\/strong>, controlled dosing of the active ingredients. They\u2019re ideal for medicinal use, since they don\u2019t produce the harmful effects of smoke.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Regulation:<\/strong> They are highly regulated in terms of their cannabinoid concentration, and medical prescriptions are required in many cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Comestibles\"><\/span>3.

However, they take longer to kick in compared with smoking or vaporizing.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Regulation:<\/strong> The THC dose is strictly regulated to prevent overdosing.
