∙ 14y agoYes, they're called cannabinoid receptors.
Yes. Any animal that metabolized THC would be affected. Any animal that had delta9-thc receptors, that is. However, insects do not have delta9-thc receptors. (And are therefore not "affected" by pot smoke. I surmise all "effects observed" are result of asphyxiation, and carbon dioxide, etc. poisoning.)
THC in marijuana attaches to the cannabinoid receptors in the brain, located in close proximity to the receptors regulating appetite.
Cannabinoid receptors reside in everyone- consequently small amounts of THC and CBD (cannabidiol) exist in everyone.
The ingredient that gives you the feeling of being high is THC. It does that because the THC activates CB1 Receptors in the brain.
The hippocampus has THC receptors that reduce short=term memory

dogs have 1,000 more scent receptors then a human
I am assuming you are talking about marijuana so..... There are cannabinoid receptors in your brain. THC is a cannabinoid which blocks the receptors, causing dopamine to flood your brain. This is why marijuana highs are associated with a general feeling of well-being. THC affects the sensory and reaction pathways in your brain.
THC, the primary active metabloite in Marijuana binds to the CB1 and CB2 receptors and is an agonist. It prompts the brain to release dopamine and endorphines into your brain, which get you high. Interstingly enough, cannabis contains another cannabinoid, cannbidiol, which acts as a partial agonist to the THC, blocking some of its effects but still letting it chill in your brain. As the cannabidiol is released from blocking the receptors, more THC is absorbed, keeping you high longer. Good cannabis contains around 18-22% THC and a good 35-40% cannbidiol.
No, they contain synthetic cannaboids like JWH to stimulate receptors to have a similiar effects to naturally occuring cannaboids.
No, everyone has canniboid receptors in their brain. Canniboids are only found in the plant called cannabis AKA marijuana.
