Cannabis is a psychoactive stimulant and is widely used today.. For many the effect of cannabis is a euphoric high that will include a relaxed sense of well being, pleasant changes in perception, enhanced appreciation of art, humor, nature, music, people . Possible increased libido and appetite are common side effects as is the removal of anxiety. 
       The active ingredient in marijuana Is delta 9,tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. We as humans have nerve receptors on some areas of our brain called the cannaboid receptors which are found in the area that affects pleasure, memory,thoughts,concentration, sensory,time perception, co ordination and movement.  A week after smoking cannabis only 60-70% of the THC has left the body because it is stored in the body fat. It takes about 4-6 weeks before THC is undetectable in the blood. On the other hand, the psychoactive effects are gone after a couple of hours.
