Actually, the body DOES create its own form of THC. Not "cannabis", though, because cannabis is the plant itself. ;)
This chemical is called Anandamide (AEA).
"...its structure was first described by Czech analytical chemist Lumír Ondřej Hanuš and American molecular pharmacologist William Anthony Devane in the Laboratory of Raphael Mechoulam, at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel in 1992."
-Wikipedia
The amount of anandamides we receive naturally is far below the amount that comes from consuming cannabis, however scientists have found no damage to the CB1 and CB2 receptors as a result of cannabis use.
Anandamide is thought to be an endogenous ligand for vanilloid receptors, which controls pain and inflammation.
Furthermore, because anandamide has been found to be involved in working memory, scientists are studying its roles in human behavior: eating, sleeping and pain relief.

Does the human body naturally produce caffeine?
No
Do darker skined people have a higher level of natural THC than lighter skined people?
I think THC is only produced by cannabis plants. The human body cannot naturally produce THC. it is commonly found in the cannabis plant.
How much THC does your body naturally generate?
The human body does not naturally produce THC. THC is a cannabinoid compound found in the cannabis plant. The body produces its own endocannabinoids, such as anandamide, which interact with the endocannabinoid system, but these are distinct from THC.
Does the human body produce THC naturally?
No, the human body does not naturally produce THC. THC is a compound found in cannabis plants and affects the brain by binding to specific receptors. The body does produce its own endocannabinoids, which are similar in structure to THC, but not the same.
Can the human body produce calcium dolomite?
No, the human body does not produce calcium dolomite. Calcium dolomite is a mineral compound that contains calcium and magnesium, which can be found naturally in rocks and used in dietary supplements. The body absorbs calcium and magnesium from food sources, but does not produce calcium dolomite on its own.
Is propofol naturally made in the human body?

How does cannabis affect you?
The effects of cannabis are caused by cannabinoids, most notably tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Cannabis has both psychological and physiological effects on the human body. It can be detected by urine, blood,hair and saliva drug tests.
Is lanolin found naturally in the human body?
Lanolin is secreted by glands in the skin of animals that have wool, like sheep. People have body hair, and not wool, so lanolin will not be found naturally in the human body.
Does the human body naturally produce small amounts of nicotine?
No. However the body has nicotinic receptors in nerve cells- places where nicotine binds to cause it's psychoactive effects. These receptors are probably also activated by substances created by the body which have a structure very similar to nicotine- it's not as though we'd evolve to all have a very special receptor created for the sole purpose of responding to a drug!
How much Prednisone does the body naturally produce?
Cortisol is the same thing that your adrenal glands produce naturally in the amount of 7-10mg daily.
