What Does it Feel like to 'Get High?'

What does it feel like to smoke marijuana?

Smoking pot draws the active ingredient delta nine tetrahydrocannabinol or THC into the lungs and onto the brain. There, it suppresses the neurons causing a distortion of perception in time, a lack of coordination, (maybe) paranoia, and sometimes uncontrollable hilarity. Within 4 seconds of the first drag, muscles relax, eyes redden, pulse rate quickens, and a feeling of euphoria and a heightened sensitivity arise in the user. Many describe the experience as surreal or exciting. Some would argue that the substance "makes you think"--which may explain why people become self-conscious and feel paranoid or act goofy. While others advocate it brightens the user's mood and reduces pain, because marijuana is medicine.
