Marijuana
effects
Weed has many different compounds in it but the mind alternating one is THC. And CBDs, most common illicit drug used in the United States. Two states have legalized marijuana for adult recreational use, and 21 states have passed laws allowing its use as a treatment for certain medical conditions. But still has effects such as memory loss slow reaction in nervous system and when use lowers the bodys temperature. Marijuana is smoked, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to the brain and other organs throughout the body. It is absorbed more slowly when ingested in food or drink. THC acts on specific molecular targets on brain cells, called cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are ordinarily activated by chemicals similar to THC that naturally occur in the body (such as anandamide; see picture, above) and are part of a neural communication network called the endocannabinoid system. This system plays an important role in normal brain development and function. However, THC-based drugs to treat pain and nausea are already FDA approved and prescribed, and scientists continue to investigate the medicinal properties of other chemicals found in the cannabis plant—such as cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid compound that is being studied for its effects at treating pain, pediatric epilepsy, and other disorders.

These are just some of many names that cannabis is referred to as, where 'hashish' is termed so, because of the use of the marijuana plant's resin called 'kief', which is taken from fallen trichomes and such, from the flowers and leaves of the plant. Oils and other forms of the drug are prepared using different parts of the cannabis plant, where even edible preparations are readily available like hash brownies http://www.buzzle.com/articles/different-types-of-weed-and-their-effects.html
