How Marijuana Affects Your System
The active ingredient in marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol, also called delta-9-THC or simply THC. It enters the body's bloodstream rapidly after smoking marijuana. If marijuana is ingested rather than smoked, it takes longer to be absorbed into the blood, usually from 20 minutes to an hour and a half.
The short-term effects of marijuana on memory, learning, problem-solving, and coordination last for one to two hours, with some lingering effects for up to 24 hours. It's been shown to impair your drivingperformance for up to three hours, according to the studies quoted by the National Highway Safety Administration.
THC is detectable in the blood for a short time, about a few hours, because it is rapidly broken down and modified into molecules known as metabolites. At least 80 different metabolites are formed from THC. These metabolites are stored in body fat and are gradually eliminated from the body through feces and urine.

Just talk to a pot smoker even when they aren't currently "High". They sound as stupid as anvils on a wedding cake.

ReplyDeleteJust using the analogy "stupid as anvils on a wedding cake." indicates how much you might know about the subject. Do you even KNOW a pot smoker? Your comment sounds like you don't. You obviously don't even know many of the pot smokers around you, and have no idea what they sound like when they are not high. I know many "closet" smokers, that hold great, high paying jobs, jobs that require great responsibility. And guess what, it has no effect on their job performance, when they are not high. Put that in your pipe and smoke it....
