Marijuana
Marijuana has many effects on the brain and may lead to drug treatment. When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to organs throughout the body, including the brain. This THC, which is the main ingredient chemical in the drug is hallucinatory and can be habit forming. The way it works is that the membranes of certain nerve cells in the brain contain protein receptors that bind to the THC. Once this happens, the THC kicks off a series of reactions that ultimately lead to the high that users experience when they smoke marijuana.
