Cannabis works in many different ways. if you're wondering how does it make you 'high' is because of the the 30 cannabinoids in the cannabis satvia plant. The main chemical which give users the spaced out mellow feeling is called Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. With consumption via smoking THC enters the brain in a time span of around 3-8 seconds. The full effects of THC take about 10-15 to kick in. users can feel many different experiences. Such as happy, hungry, laugh at anything or even paranoid. Users feel this because of the way how THC effects the brain. THC and all the of the cannabinoids are like a piece of a puzzle. And in our bodies we have special receptors called cannabis receptors (most of them are located in the dopamine neurons in the brain) which in a way, are the other piece of the puzzle. And when the click together they limit the amount of dopamine in the brain, because of this users get that 'stoned' feeling'. I hoped this helped. :)
