No, THC the active chemical in cannabis does not destroy brain cells. Loss of brain cells from marijuana is caused by the smoke inhalation by depleting your brain of oxygen. But a user would have to hold smoke in there lungs for very extended periods of time to cause any damage to the brain cells.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that epsom salt can detox THC from the body. THC is typically stored in fat cells, and detoxification methods often involve time, hydration, and physical activity to help the body naturally eliminate it. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for advice on detoxing from THC.
Naturally it takes the body to excrete THC 3 months from the body. THC is stored in the fat cells so it depends on body composition. To speed the process working out and drinking more water is recommended.
The three parts of the brain affected by THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, are the hippocampus (impacting memory and learning), the amygdala (affecting emotions), and the frontal cortex (influencing decision-making and planning).
Marijuana harms the nervous system in ways in which the brain will not know how to function without the drug if used constantly. Marijuana will also affect the immune system by causing the user to tend to be more sleepy, moody, and hungry. There are also different forms of Marijuana, as in Sativa, and Indica, which are two different genetics of cannabis sativa plants, and each affecting the body in different mystical highs.
The chemical symbol for THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is C21H30O2.
It does not kill brain cells (like the previous answer had). Marijuana has THC which works it's way from the lungs into the blood system. It then travels with the blood to the brain. There THC coats the brain cells causeing the electrical impulses between the cells to slow down (this is what causes the high effect). THC then decays off of the brain cell and leaves it unharmed and makes it way back into the blood stream. It then attaches itself to fat cells where it continues to decay until there is nothing left. The fact that it attaches to fat cells is why thc can show up on drug test a month after being ingested. Long term effect of marijuana are unknown, but short term effect (the high) are temporary.
THC enters your system when you consume cannabis products by smoking, vaping, or ingesting them. Once ingested, THC is absorbed into the bloodstream and then distributed throughout the body, including to the brain where it produces its psychoactive effects.
THC attaches itself to your fat cells and as you lose weight the THC disperses itself through out the body and it gets stored in an area called the "Third Spacing", which is located right above the bladder area and as you urinate the THC is released thus effects the levels of THC in your body
Yes, THC, the active compound in marijuana, can be stored in fat cells in the body.
THC is the only chemical that can stimulate the brain exactly like marijuana can and THC is only found in marijuana and Marinol.
recent studies show that THC has a positive impact on the body, including the stimulation of brain cells leading to new growth.
Five minutes. It will reach the brain in seconds but the result is not seen promptly until it reaches adequate concentrations in the brain cells. THC is highly lipid soluble and takes a while to spread out in the fatty tissue. It also takes a while to be excreted (30 days or so). This is why MJ smokers get picked up so easily on urine tests.
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.
I believe it is THC
Yes you can. It also has some effects since they feed on the THC itself.
Because the THC in marijuana sticks to your brain and fat cells. The faster your metabolism, the faster it exits your system. You will eventually sweat or urinate it out.
You cannot hide THC. THC clings to your fat cells and as your fat cells burn off the THC disappears. You can speed up the process through exercise and proper diet. Also I am not 100% about this, but you can buy body cleansing pills that flush your system, but since THC clings to fat cells I'm not sure how well it would work.
