Cannabis sativa, also called hemp, is a species of the Cannabinaceae family of plants. Cannabis has the chemical compound THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), which is believed to be responsible for a lot of the characteristic psychedelic effects of cannabis that affect the “high” that is experienced when cannabis is consumed. However, not all elements of cannabis are psychoactive.
The dried-out fallen leaves and flowers (buds) of the cannabis plant are called cannabis, which can be smoked (with a pipe or bong, hand-rolled into a joint, or consumed in an edible (for instance, cookies, brownies, gummies). The resinous secretions of the plant are called hashish, which can be smoked or consumed.
What Are the Effects of Cannabis?
The effects experienced by the Cannabis (cannabis) individual vary and will depend on the dose, method of management, previous experience, any kind of simultaneous substance abuse, individual expectations, state of mind, and the social behavior in which the medicine is used.
Effects of cannabis (marijuana) include:
An altered state of consciousness. The individual may feel “high”, extremely satisfied, euphoric, relaxed, friendly, and uninhibited.
Altered perceptions of time and space. The individual might sense more consciousness of things around them, and may also experience a more vivid sense of taste, sight, smell, and hearing.
Boosted pulse and heart rate, bloodshot eyes, dilated pupils, and frequently boosted cravings (“the munchies”).
Impaired control and concentration, making activities such as driving and vehicle or running equipment difficult and unsafe.
Individuals who use large amounts of cannabis may become sedated or disoriented and may experience hazardous psychosis– not knowing who they are, where they are, or what time it is. High doses might also cause varying feelings, fragmentary ideas, paranoia, panic attacks, hallucinations, and feelings of unreality.
Different concentrations of THC, cannabidiol (CBD), or hybrid products exist in products found in cannabis stores in states that have legalized recreational cannabis use.
For How Long Does It Take Marijuana to Work?
The results of inhaling cannabis are felt within minutes, reach their top in 10 to thirty minutes, and might linger for 2 or three hours. Nevertheless, edible cannabis, which might include a more quantity of THC, can take a longer amount of time to reach full impact as it needs to be absorbed from the intestinal system. The effect of edible marijuana can last as much as 12 hrs.
THC is extremely lipid soluble and can be stored in fat cells potentially for several months. Stored THC is released gradually, and unevenly, back into the bloodstream.
