    Not sure if anyone knows about this, but what is it about the THC that gets you high?

    I mean uhhh..... Why do you get that high feeling? I understand that the THC MAKES you high, but.. what does it do to the body to make you feel that way?

    This sounds like a job for.....StonerBill. He's good with the neurological/phsychological reasoning behind it all.

    i don't know, but here are a few words that are so fancy they may just sound right, even though few of them are only relevant in some way, and the others are just "science-y" sounding

    synapses; neurotransmitters; brain cells; electric impusles; cannabinoid receptors; serotonin; dopamine; tetrahydrocannabinol; psychoactive; nerve cells


    man, that was fun, i feel smart now

    :tongue:

    We just learned about this in Psych! I'm trying to remember how it went, though.

    I know it had something to do with the neurotransmitters. I'm guessing it blocks reuptake of the neurotransmitter dopamine, making you flooded with a euphoric feeling. It might not be dopamine, but it definitely has something to do w/ reuptake.
