If you’ve ever wondered what makes cannabis give you that “high” feeling, the answer is THC.
THC (short for tetrahydrocannabinol) is one of the main compounds found in cannabis. It’s the part that causes the psychoactive effects — meaning it can change how you feel, think, or experience things.
🌿 What Does THC Do?
THC interacts with your body’s natural system (called the endocannabinoid system) to create different effects. People often report feeling:
- Relaxed or calm
- Happy or uplifted
- Creative or more focused
- Hungry (yep — it’s what causes the munchies!)
But effects can vary depending on how much you take and how your body reacts.
đź’ˇ Why Do People Use THC?
Many people use THC for fun and relaxation. But others use it to help with:
- Pain relief
- Sleep problems
- Stress or anxiety
- Appetite loss
It’s all about finding what works best for you.
⚠️ What Should I Know Before Trying THC?
If you’re new to cannabis, here are a few quick tips:
- Start low and go slow. A little goes a long way — especially with edibles.
- Everyone reacts differently. Your experience might not be the same as your friend’s.
- Too much THC can feel uncomfortable. You might feel anxious, dizzy, or too “high” — that’s why small doses are best to start.
