When discussing marijuana, we are actually referring to the portion of the cannabis plant that possesses significant quantities of THC. THC is a cannabinoid, which is an active compound found in marijuana, capable of affecting the mind and inducing a feeling of being “high.” Why does marijuana have this effect on you? THC bears a resemblance to a naturally occurring chemical in the body known as anandamide. Since THC can “deceive” the brain into believing it is anandamide, it can influence specific areas of the brain that are responsible for regulating:
- Memory
- Thinking
- Concentration
- Pleasure
- Movement
- Coordination
The effects you may experience can differ from what another person might feel.
