Effects of cannabis

Hey kiddo! Today we are going to talk about the effects of cannabis. Cannabis is a plant that has leaves and flowers. People use it for different reasons like medicine, recreation, or relaxation.

When someone uses cannabis, it can make them feel different or change the way they think. These changes are called effects. There are different effects for different people and doses, which means how much someone uses.

Some people may feel happy, relaxed or giggly. They may want to do things like listen to music or watch a movie. Others may feel tired or sleepy, and they may want to rest or sleep. Some people may feel hungry, and they may want to eat a lot. This is called "having the munchies."

However, cannabis can also cause some negative effects. If too much is used, it can make someone feel sick, dizzy, or feel like they are going to vomit. It can also make them feel anxious, paranoid or more sensitive to their surroundings. This means they may feel scared or worried about things that are not dangerous.

Finally, cannabis can affect our ability to think and remember things. It may be hard to concentrate or remember things that just happened. Driving or using heavy machinery under the influence of cannabis is not safe and can be very dangerous.

So, the effects of cannabis can vary from person to person and may have both positive and negative effects. It is important to use cannabis responsibly and in a safe environment, so we don't hurt ourselves or other people.
