THC receptors in our bodies exist because our bodies naturally produce chemicals that are similar to THC. These receptors help regulate various functions in the body, such as mood, memory, pain, and appetite.
Yes, our bodies have cannabinoid receptors that are part of the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes.
Canabinoids are used within the body in certain areas as neurotransmitters, so yes, your brain does produce chemicals like THC, and employs them in a very controlled fashion, which is quite different from the blunt doping approach that occurs when the naturally occurring equivalents are absorbed into the brain by other means.
Cannabinoid receptors are found in our bodies because they play a key role in regulating various physiological processes, such as mood, memory, pain sensation, and appetite. These receptors interact with cannabinoids, both those produced by our bodies (endocannabinoids) and those found in cannabis plants, to help maintain balance and homeostasis in the body.
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.
THC, the active compound in cannabis, interacts with the endocannabinoid system by binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and body. This interaction can affect various physiological processes, including mood, memory, pain sensation, and appetite.
Yes, they're called cannabinoid receptors.
Yes. Any animal that metabolized THC would be affected. Any animal that had delta9-thc receptors, that is. However, insects do not have delta9-thc receptors. (And are therefore not "affected" by pot smoke. I surmise all "effects observed" are result of asphyxiation, and carbon dioxide, etc. poisoning.)
Cannabinoid receptors reside in everyone- consequently small amounts of THC and CBD (cannabidiol) exist in everyone.
THC in marijuana attaches to the cannabinoid receptors in the brain, located in close proximity to the receptors regulating appetite.
The ingredient that gives you the feeling of being high is THC. It does that because the THC activates CB1 Receptors in the brain.

The hippocampus has THC receptors that reduce short=term memory
i am a dog that is high as hell right now. look i am typing and answering you're question.

No it does not. Your brain does not produce a weed related chemical..... Sorry EDIT: Although the above is correct to an extent, the brain does have natural cannabinoid receptors that have been discovered. These receptors respond to a natural chemical Anandamide (AEA). And don't worry, if there's anything to apologize for it's your lack of information on the subject.
THC, the primary active metabloite in Marijuana binds to the CB1 and CB2 receptors and is an agonist. It prompts the brain to release dopamine and endorphines into your brain, which get you high. Interstingly enough, cannabis contains another cannabinoid, cannbidiol, which acts as a partial agonist to the THC, blocking some of its effects but still letting it chill in your brain. As the cannabidiol is released from blocking the receptors, more THC is absorbed, keeping you high longer. Good cannabis contains around 18-22% THC and a good 35-40% cannbidiol.
