There is a mind-blowing simulation that shows just what happens to your body and mind when you smoke cannabis.

The video shows the way cannabis begins to impact your body as soon as you consume it.

Posted by The Infographics Show on YouTube, the fascinating simulation provides an insight into what actually happens to our brain and body after smoking cannabis.

First off, the video explains how different methods of intaking cannabis can have varying results but when smoking, the lungs are fast acting.

The video says: “The lungs are designed to quickly and efficiently transfer oxygen into the bloodstream when we breathe. Therefore, they have the capacity to take in large quantities of gas in one breath and get any number of elements or compounds from that gas into our bloodstream, and fast.”

It goes on to explain that the lungs ‘aren’t just empty chambers’, instead they are full of tiny air pockets called alveoli and the average human adult has around a whopping 480 million alveoli in their lungs.

The video continues: “In each alveolus, the THC from the smoke is transferred directly into your bloodstream, which then carries it all over the body, including to the critical area: your brain.

“As a result, it often only takes a matter of seconds for the user to start to feel the psychoactive effects of what they're smoking.”

Some of the effects include your reflexes being delayed as ‘information takes more time to be processed’ and the slowing down of your motor functions and speech.

Your senses also seem to become heightened after smoking cannabis, with colors looking brighter and sounds being louder, as well as music sounding more rich and layered.

Food can often taste better under the influence of THC, which gives the subject the illusion that they’re really hungry.

The video adds: “While many users feel calmer having smoked weed, others can feel a heightened sense of paranoia and worry, particularly on the ‘comedown’ as the calming effects of the CBD wear off.”

Viewers of the video took to the comment section to share their reactions, with one user writing: “Weed makes me enjoy food more and think much more deeply, but thoughts are so serious and deep that i stress over them and get anxious by overthinking it. It’s a love hate relationship.”

And another added: “I quit smoking for 3 months and immediately noticed that my allergies subsided a little bit, my dreams were vivid and I could remember them and I was no longer nauseous before I sneeze. I did go back to smoking weed because it helps my stress and quiets my anxiety.”

If you've been affected by addiction and want to speak to someone in confidence, you can call American Addiction Centers on (888) 324-0595, available 24/7, or contact them through their website.
