This in effect sufficcated them, causing brain damage. Marijuana also doesn't linger in the brain, or cause the slowing of mental function after the high has worn off.

Can marijuana give false positive pregnancy tests?
It shouldn't THC (the psychoactive chemical in marijuana) works by mimicking neurotransmitters in your brain. It is broken down into metabolites and remains in the blood for days to weeks, depending how often marijuana is used. Home pregnancy tests test for human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a hormone released once implantation of the egg occurs. I see no reason as to why THC metabolites would affect a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests have also been known to give false positives too, so taking two is always a good idea.

What happens biologically when you get high?
I am assuming you are talking about marijuana so..... There are cannabinoid receptors in your brain. THC is a cannabinoid which blocks the receptors, causing dopamine to flood your brain. This is why marijuana highs are associated with a general feeling of well-being. THC affects the sensory and reaction pathways in your brain.
