THE FUNNY FEELING
The most cannabinoid (psychoasctive chemical in other words the chemical the fucks ou up) that gives you the high in the marijuana is the THC = delta-9 tetrahydracannabinol. What the THC does, is act like antoher chemical that your brain normally produces. This naturally occouring helps supress pain, and is also a cannabinoid, its name is "anandimide". What THC does, is connect with these anandimide receptors in your brain, and send all sorts of signals to different parts of your body, making you feel different, see different, percieve things differently. Basically getting high. Cool huh?
ADDICTIVENESS?
Marijuana is not addictive, at least not in a way your thinking of. Marijuana is PHYSCIALLY addictive. So no, you sont get sick, cold sweats, and all that bullshit from quitting. You might get MENTALLY addicted, meaning you let (stupidly) marijuana take on such an importance in your life, tha quitting makes you feel abnormal, as if you dont feel right. That means you've just been doing it too much, and for too long, so that you dont really know how to act normal.
DOES IT HURT YOUR BODY?
Well, this is desputable. When you smoke it, of corse its going to hurt your body. your fuckin up your lungs. But if you get high by making hash oil or marijuana butter, there is VERY VERY little chance that you are doing any more significant harm than brething in your own atmosphere does to you. If you do smoke it, you will get harmful lung damage. Although one good thing, marijuana has only 1/3 the tar of tobacco, so you wont get cancer fast, but then again, which makes marijuana smoking worse. You can aslo get the same cancer as cigarettes, because marijuana contains the same carcinogenic's as tobacco. One of the main carcinogenic's as tobacco. One of the main carcinogenic's being Benzopyrene.
LETHAL
Nope, not lethal at all. Now you might be thinking about what i said above about it causing cancer. Thats only is smoked, marijuana leaf is not lethal. THC is not lethal unless you inject a shitload of the pure from into your body. Believe me, they had to pump a lot of THC into their laboratory monkey's to make them die. So dont worry about death, unless your smokin it, then get a bong or a vaporiser. |
