So are the effects mostly psychosomatic, like placebo kind of thing? Essentially, that's what my research showed. But I've had a few and it feels like it's more than psychosomatic.
But the point is our bodies and our brains already have the receptors in place to interact with cannabinoids. The thing is, cannabinoids like THC are way more powerful than the ones our bodies make. Thousandfold more powerful. When consumed, psychoactive components are absorbed into the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier.

These effects are quick, way quicker than, say, drinking a scotch and soda. Cannabis, when smoked, enters the brain within 30 seconds.

You're referring to indica and sativa? Yes, of course I am. And you are right. The two main strands of cannabis are sativa and indica. There's actually also a strain called ruderalis, but it's so seldomly used that we're just going to skip it. Sativa and indica give different highs because they interact with our brains differently. Let's start with sativa.

Sativa plants are taller than indica and have longer leaves. Sativa is considered more of a stimulant. Users feel more alert and focused when on it compared to indica. Sativa is a mood elevator and makes people talkative, and some call it a head high. Sativa does this because it's activating receptors in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Sativa can reduce stress.

I don't get it. There's head high and then there's body high. Indica is considered a body high. It relaxes you physically. That's why it's colloquially called Indicouch. Indica is more of a sedative. This is because Indica suppresses the amygdala part of the brain and also shuts down the hippocampus. The indica variety of cannabis can lead to defects in memory.
