Ever wondered how does a marijuana ''high'' feel like?
We all know that cannabis is quite diffrent from alcohol. Including terms of effect. As you may know, cannabis contains THC (terahydrocannabinol). But how does THC effects you? Just like alcohol effects diffrent people, diffrent ways – so does cannabis. Some people may giggle, while other may fall asleep right there on the couch. Most people find cannabis relaxing, calm and pleasant.
Here are a few sensations that are common:
Spacing in and out again
Skewed perception of time
Easy movements, bodily relaxation
Joy, euphoria, contentedness, care – free attitude
Drowsiness or increase mental energy
Fogetfulness
Increased sensory awareness
But it has a loot to do with the way we consume cannabis
The way we consume cannabis has a large impact on the overall effect. Smoking, vaping etc., most people will feel the effect within 15 minutes. The experience can last two to three hours. With edibles, the effects can take as long as two hours to present themselves. But the high from them can last from four to six hours or even longer.
With smoking, vaping or dabbing, the inhaled cannabinoids easily accessible to your brain. Inhaled cannabis tends to have more of an immediate head-centered effect. Edibles however will produce a much longer and more powerful experience. The effects of edibles are often more strongly concentrated in the body, making them great pain management tools.
If you noticed, cannabis is usually divided into three primary categories:
Sativas
Indicas
Hybrids
Cannabis sativa and cannabis indica have distrinct effects. Hybrids are crosses between the two varients and can produce a wide range of diffrent effects.
So lets talk about indica strains for a sec. In general terms, thought to have more sedative, body-centered effects. Indicas are known to produce a heavy-lidded sensation and feelings od physical relaxation. It's not uncommon for consumers to feel physically weighted or heavy after. Mentally, many find that indica strains produce more of a hazy or foggy mental state. They can also cause you feel sleepy, making the best to use before bed.
Some popular indicas include:

Bubba Kush
Northern Lights
What abou sativas?
They have a more of an energetic and uplifting effect. All cannabis that contains psychoactive THC can encourafe fellings of euphoria. Sativa strains are blissful while providing an energy boost similar to a cup of coffee or a black tea. Many consumers go for the sativas in the morning to benefit from the herb's stimulating effects. It's also great for social gatherings, setting the tone for thoughtful conversation. In high doses, some will find that sativas produce feelings of raciness or even anxiety. While many sativa strains promote focus.
Some popular saticas include:

And ever heard of CBD?
For some, psychoactive cannabis does not make for a comfortable experience. Those hoping to avoid any anxiety, sedation, or cognitive changes may prefer a high - CBD variety.
CBD is short for cannabidiol, a popular nonpsychoactive compound in the cannabis plant. Mostly used to relieve muscle spasms and pain. CBD strains provide many of the benefits of cannabis without unwanted side effects. They simply make you feel like you're in a good mood, inspiring a positive sense of wellbeing.
