Because cocaine actually causes a chemical reaction in the brain, gradually reducing seretonin (the pleasure chemical that tells you when you have had enough of something like when you eat, tells your body you don't need any more food when you are full)until you get to the point where your body thinks that the only thing that will satisfy all of its needs and cravings is the cocaine...evil shh--ite!

I think it is a psychological thing. It is an addiction. Just ask someone who smokes, or drinks how hard it is to quit. You will realize it is an addiction then. I am addicted to food even though I am working on not over eating and only eating when I am hungry.

Q: How long does marijuana stay in the user's body?\nA: THC in marijuana is rapidly absorbed by fatty tissues in various organs. Generally, traces (metabolites) of THC can be detected by standard urine testing methods several days after a smoking session. However, in chronic heavy users, traces can sometimes be detected for weeks after they have stopped using marijuana.\n\nQ: What happens if you smoke marijuana?\nA: The way the drug affects each person depends on many factors, including:\n- user's previous experience with the drug; \nhow strong the marijuana is (how much THC it has); \n- what the user expects to happen; \n- where the drug is used; \n- how it is taken; and \n- whether the user is drinking alcohol or using other drugs. \nSome people feel nothing at all when they smoke marijuana. Others may feel relaxed or high. Sometimes marijuana makes users feel thirsty and very hungry—an effect called "the munchies."\nSome users can undergo bad effects from marijuana. They may suffer sudden feelings of anxiety and have paranoid thoughts. This is more likely to happen when a more potent variety of marijuana is used.\n\nQ: What are the short-term effects of marijuana use?\nA: The short-term effects of marijuana include: \n- problems with memory and learning (11);\n- distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch) (6); \n- trouble with thinking and problemsolving (5); \n- loss of motor coordination; and \n- increased heart rate. \nThese effects are even greater when other drugs are mixed with the marijuana; and users do not always know what drugs are given to them.

the active ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a lipid soluble compound that distributes itself throughout the body (not just fat cells!  all cells have fatty components) with concentrated amounts in the liver, kidneys, and lungs.  lipid soluble compounds are notoriously hard to get rid of. even if you exercise a lot and are very thin, your cell membranes and various connective tissues are lipid-based. drinking water won't do anything to increase the metabolic rate but it will dilute the blood concentrations of metabolites. but since it also increases the volume of the urine, you probably peed out the same amount of metabolites.\n\nTHC leaves the body mostly via urine as it is metabolized to more water-soluble compounds. the whole process begins almost immediately in the liver, but complete metabolism and excretion is slow.  the half-life is about 30 hours... so 30 hours after you smoked 4 bowls, assuming you didn't smoke again, you've got 2 bowls worth left in you. traces can be detected even thirty days later. these aren't exact figures, everyone's metabolic rate is different.\n\nif you smoked five weeks ago and not since, and gave an urine sample today, your results might be negative. you are still within the range, though... all i can say is keep your fingers crossed.\n\ni am curious what the purpose of the drug screening is. are you applying for a job? have you enlisted in the military? did you get caught in possession, and they are trying to build evidence against you in a trial? are you in rehab?\n\nin some cases, testing positive on a drug test is going to be very bad times for you. if it's a matter of getting hired or not... eh. there are other jobs, not everyone screens. using marijuana tends to make you lazy, dopey, slow-reacting, etc but not all jobs really need better performance than that. it's just a matter of showing up.... if you're in rehab--- you're not doing a good job but i'd personally rather you smoke pot than huff paint-thinner or snort coke. it's less damaging to your brain and body, and generally less addictive.\n\nif you're in legal trouble, however, this could be very bad times. current laws (are you in the US?) make it very easy to lock up marijuana users for a long time. possession of one joint can mean 20 years in state prison. the drug policy doesn't make sense, and is largely ineffective in its current state. i doubt it will change any time soon, though.

The active ingredient of marijuana (terahydrocannabinol-THC) is a fat-soluble molecule whose metabolites may remain in the body for s long as a month after a single exposure. THC metabolites are stored in the brain, testes, ovaries, and other fatty tissues. With even so-called "mild use" of marijuana smoking once or twice a week, THC will be continually present in the body and slowly released, affecting overall functioning to some degree. This is true whether or not the individual experiences being "high." Despite statements to the contrary, marijuana users, especially with more frequent use, do develop physiological tolerance to the drug which necessitates higher "doses" to achieve the same subjective experience of intoxication. So over time, without necessarily a concurrent increase in intensity or frequency of the sensation of intoxication, increasing levels of active substance will be stored in the body and trying to get a quicker release of the stored substance in your body is of no avail except don't smoke it (especially if your job or schooling prohibits it). Any statements that refer to 'passing the test' got lucky, as all test have a % chance of a false reading...    You will just be taking a chance Good Luck

Let them smoke! No one every got shot up because of weed. The man would make mad bread in the legalization of Mary Jane. Little Cesar's stock would go through the roof along with Lays and Twinkies. Pot heads are too busy being paranoid, in a constant state of munchdom or founding new religions. I'm not a smoker but all my friends are. Those kids always crack me up especially when we start science projects and they are geeked out their minds!

Hi Tawnee S,\nSounds good to me (hamster & fish get high too) shouldn't have any effect except to be stoned-2 tokes for the road!! \nIgnore all the ones that say this is bad! Unless you smoke marijuana & know the difference.  If you are one of those few that believes everything the damn government says then you really don't have the clue.  And should read for your yourselves & get some knowledge while at it!  The effects of pot- on MS patients, glaucoma, Cancer patients, AIDS patients, radiation patients.  People that have other mind blowing sicknesses & medical problems will know the difference. Yes my doctor knows so for all those others GO READ & GET SOME KNOWLEGEMENT DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE GOVERNMENT SAYS!    Have a good day :0)

Probably because you've already filled one need, hunger, and you're feeling rather satisfied.  Also, it takes energy to digest.  When you're having sex and are hungry...you're ready for that matter at hand and you're putting all your energy into it.  At least that's my hypothesis.

years ago a friend of mine brought to my house a bag of big green/red wet sticky buds with a stench so strong i could smell it when he was coming through the door. we rolled a fatty and smoked about half of it. i was so freakin blown away all i could do is sit there and stare into space before getting sick and feeling stoned for days after. it was the last time i smoked

haha, you ate the special brownies....sorry, had to laugh\n\nnext time don't eat the brownies, or anything you don't trust,lol\n\nit won't kill you or make you incredibly sick, but i'm not one to say drugs and weed are good for kids or teens.\nthe only thing the weed will do is give you incredible munchies, mainly for sweets and chocolate, and the buzz only lasts a very short span...be thankful it wasn't laced with LSD or something worse.

Yes it does because the marijuana is released into the blood stream when smoked. That's how you get high off this substance and any other substance. If you use daily the pot will stay in your system for up to 12 weeks in some cases.

weed in general is not heavy on hallucinations, I have only hallucinated a handful of times and i have smoked since 15 I'm 33 and just quit . when you first smoke it you experience euphoria , strange thoughts or ideas that can sometimes throw you into states of uncontrollable laughter . things that you other wise would not find amusing amuse you . after awhile your eyelids begin to feel heavy because the marijuana has decreased the pressure in within your eyes, and this is no joke, your eyeballs have decreased in size a little, this is why people who are high look squinty eyed and tired , this effect is also why pot is good for glaucoma a condition where there is too much pressure , a pot high can last anywhere from 2-4 hours average depending on potency personally myself i think the "high" last less because the other part of the high your really not high but feel lazy and groggy and end up eating bunches of food and then falling a sleep. since i have quit i am i can also validate the fact that marijuana affect motivation and energy levels as since i have quit those have increased .

FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, SMOKING CAN AFFECT YOUR APPETITE.  MY DAD USED TO SMOKE BUT NO MATTER WHAT HE DID, HE WAS ALWAYS UNDER 200 POUNDS.  AROUND 185.\nHE NEVER GAINED ANYTHING.  BUT MAY I SAY SOMETHING PLEASE.\nIF YOU ARE SMOKING, PLEASE STOP.  MY DAD IS NO LONGER WITH MY FAMILY AND I AND LATER ON THIS MONTH, HE AND I WOULD BE CELEBRATING OUR BIRTHDAYS.  YES, I WAS BORN ON HIS BIRTHDAY.  HE IS NOT HERE ANYMORE BUT YOU ARE.\nI TELL YOU BECAUSE I CARE

There are no recorded cases of anyone ever suffering a lethal overdose of marijuana. \n\nJudging from animal studies, an average male human  would have to eat around three pounds of marijuana to achieve lethal THC levels.  This amount would be much higher if the marijuana were smoked.
