Why does Cannibis/Marijuana heighten your senses?????

Its not that it heightens your senses really but relaxes the mind and body so that incoming info seems to be easier understood. But very very few even know the proper use of this herb and fewer yet take advantage of it correctly

Hats of my fellow well informed freedom fighting friend , most recent studies have shown that Marijuana doesnt destroy any ,,ANY , of your brain cells and in fact a harvard study shows that students who used canabis in moderation while studying for exams were more analetic and scored higher averages than those who didnt . but people are still very ill informed on the real facts . the brain cell killing lie came about without any real studyies and is a product of govermental lies .

I believe it has something to do with your cerebellum being able to detect expected and unexpected sensations. A reasonable explanation can be found here: http://science.howstuffworks.com/question511.htm

Don't get high anymore. But when I used to get high I could talk backwards better than forwards. Weird for me but REALLY weird for the people on mushrooms who were having a bad ride.

NONE. What idiot told you that? And, if you burn it, it STINKS! Listen, i grew up in the seventies, and the only drugs I never did were heroin, meth, speed, no opiates except for, well, opium. NO you CANNOT get high from sage! EVER!!!!!That sounds like when i was a kid and people used to say you could get high from:Taking aspirin with coca-cola; and, smoking marigold seeds. Sound as stupid as "smoking sage"? You bet it does. 'S freaking ridiculous.

Effects on the Brain\nScientists have learned a great deal about how THC acts in the brain to produce its many effects. 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.\n\nIn the brain, THC connects to specific sites called cannabinoid receptors on nerve cells and influences the activity of those cells. Some brain areas have many cannabinoid receptors; others have few or none. Many cannabinoid receptors are found in the parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement\n\nThe short-term effects of marijuana can include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate. Research findings for long-term marijuana use indicate some changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term use of other major drugs of abuse. For example, cannabinoid (THC or synthetic forms of THC) withdrawal in chronically exposed animals leads to an increase in the activation of the stress-response system and changes in the activity of nerve cells containing dopamine. Dopamine neurons are involved in the regulation of motivation and reward, and are directly or indirectly affected by all drugs of abuse.\n\nEffects on the Heart\nOne study has indicated that a user’s risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana. The researchers suggest that such an effect might occur from marijuana’s effects on blood pressure and heart rate and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.\n\nEffects on the Lungs\nA study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers. Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses.\n\nEven infrequent use can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough. Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers do, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency to obstructed airways. Smoking marijuana increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the head or neck, and the more marijuana smoked the greater the increase. A study comparing 173 cancer patients and 176 healthy individuals produced strong evidence that marijuana smoking doubled or tripled the risk of these cancers.\n\nMarijuana use also has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because it contains irritants and carcinogens. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke. It also produces high levels of an enzyme that converts certain hydrocarbons into their carcinogenic form—levels that may accelerate the changes that ultimately produce malignant cells. Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which increases the lungs’ exposure to carcinogenic smoke. These facts suggest that, puff for puff, smoking marijuana may increase the risk of cancer more than smoking tobacco.\n\nOther Health Effects\nSome of marijuana’s adverse health effects may occur because THC impairs the immune system’s ability to fight off infectious diseases and cancer. In laboratory experiments that exposed animal and human cells to THC or other marijuana ingredients, the normal disease-preventing reactions of many of the key types of immune cells were inhibited. In other studies, mice exposed to THC or related substances were more likely than unexposed mice to develop bacterial infections and tumors.\n\nEffects of Heavy Marijuana Use on Learning and Social Behavi

yes...it's when your weed is laced with something like LSD...kinda freaky

A natural neurotransmitter in you brain called anandimide is also known to be an endogenous cannabioid.  This is the substance that explains why your brain has cannabinoid receptors in the first place--the brain does not make receptors for drugs alone.  But since THC was discovered before anadamide, the endogenous transmitter is called a cannabinoid, rather than THC being called an anandaminoid.\n\nInteresting story on how THC was discovered.  Most drugs found prior to THC were hydrophobic (meaning water soluble) and they had nitrogen (like nicotine, cocaine, caffeine, etc.).  There are easy ways to find nitrogen-containing molecules, and none of them worked.  They then tried to identify things that were binding to receptors, but since THC is hydrophobic, it stuck all over the cell membrane, and not just to the synapse, so they ignored it.  Eventually they did what was called a dog ataxia assay: take marijuana, separate out its components, and inject them into a dog while looking for the dog to exhibit a loss of motor coordination.

The satisfaction is two fold. First its an addiction. When you smoke, you get a craving for the niccotine.  and you get nervous in a way. Its not a horrible feeling, just like you need to smoke....is the only way I can explain it. Also I think its a really powerful habbit. It always keeps your hand occupied. So whenever you are in a social situation, or driving, you just get used to having something to figit with. So it feels like you should be smoking because thats what you are used to.

Extremely potent marijuana, specifically marijuana buds that have a purple hue to them. Also accompanied by a fragant, usually fruity smell and mad perma-grin.

As somebody who has used cannabis regularly for too many years I can say yes, it is possible to see trails and auras when very stoned but I have never experienced anything that lasts past the next morning.  I have never head of any long term damage being done but cannabis does have an effect on the intra-ocular pressure (the pressure of fluid in the eye) hence it being used, illegally, in the treatment of the eye condition glaucoma. \n\nI wouldn’t imagine a mother’s ingestion of LSD would effect her eggs as a woman’s eggs are already made at the time of her birth, unlike sperm which are made daily.  If she took it while pregnant there could be an effect though I suppose, depending on how readily the drug crosses the placenta.\n\nDifferent peoples reactions to cannabis vary quite greatly and people who are highly sensitive can experience a trippier experience.  It obviously also depends on the type and quality of the weed.\n\nI have heard  people experiencing ‘ego loss’ from LSD but not from cannabis.\n\nCheck out www.erowid.com for lots of unbiased drug information and other peoples experiences, you may find some similar souls!

Dude, maybe because you were all high?

Never had that happen before.... but it could have been something similar to a panic attack where your senses became heightened? Just a guess...

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 .

It largely depends on the individual and their immediate environment.  The most notable effects are an absence of physical pain along with a heightened sense of your environment and your senses.  It is possible the first time you smoke marijuana you will not experience anything at all.  This is often reported though I don't know the scientific reason for it.  If you feel safe in your environment you will notably relax and be able to connect intellectually with others in a more intimate way.  People tend to "open up" when they smoke marijuana.  Shortly after smoking it you will experience a dry mouth and a thirst.  Food and drink become more enjoyable because of your heightened sense of smell and taste.  Some people can become anxious if they are in an environment that doesn't feel or isn't safe.   Anxiety can also come about if your overly preoccupied with a negative or stressful situation.  The perceived magnitude of your dilemma can be exaggerated in your mind.  Largely marijuana allows you to relax, re leaves pain very effectively, enhances your enjoyment of simple things usually overlooked.  It can make you become involved in T.V. or Movies more than usual because of an increase in your ability to focus or "be in the moment".  It's important to be with friends you trust and in an environment that is pleasurable to some extent to begin with.  Some people claim an increase in sex drive probably due to heightened senses but you care free disposition could lead to poor choices if acted upon.  Often after the initial high, say 2 hours, you may feel unusually bored or apathetic.  In short... no pain, relaxation, increased hunger and thirst, a feeling of connection to others, possible paranoia, increased enjoyment of immediate surroundings and dry mouth.
