Vaporizing THC

The psychoactive effects of cannabis can be induced through eating, smoking or vaporizing. The effects are all uniquely different due to the different pathways of absorption into the body. Smoking or vaporizing marijuana is the preferred method to eating for most, since users can enjoy the pleasant high for a few hours from just a few puffs rather than 12-24 hours under its powerful influence when eaten.

THC enters the blood stream and eventually reaches the brain through two distinct pathways. When vaporized and inhaled, THC transfuses almost instantly through thousands of capillaries on the surface of the lungs into the bloodstream. The bloodstream carries the THC directly to the brain, bypassing the liver thus producing a feeling of mental stimulation followed by relaxation. When eaten the THC can sometimes be destroyed by the digestive system, which is the reason why so many medical users prefer the vaporizing technique.

Once THC reaches the brain, it blinds specific receptor sites. The brain reacts by producing it's own drug, Endorphine. Endorphine is produced by the brain to deal with pain and affects our mood,memory, preception and movement.
