Do you know?
;)
Cannabis is much stronger than it was even just a decade ago. Plants are bred to have more THC.
Although cannabis is typically smoked, it can also be eaten.
After smoking, a person can feel the effects of THC within a few minutes and they usually last 3–4 hours. When eaten, a person may not feel the effects for an hour or more, but they can last more than 24 hours.
The body’s fat cells store THC for a long time after stopping use – up to 6 weeks for regular daily users.
Smoke from a marijuana cigarette contains some of the same chemicals found in tobacco smoke that are known to cause cancer.
