No it does not. Your brain does not produce a weed related chemical..... Sorry

EDIT: Although the above is correct to an extent, the brain does have natural cannabinoid receptors that have been discovered. These receptors respond to a natural chemical Anandamide (AEA). And don't worry, if there's anything to apologize for it's your lack of information on the subject.

How much THC does your body naturally generate?

the human body does not produce THC. However, it produces an almost exact copy of it called Anandamide. although it isint nearly as potent as THC, it exists for memory and slight pain.


What is THC?

THC (TetraHydroCannabinol) is a chemical that is produced naturally in a marijuana plant when it goes in it's blooming stage, most commonly known as budding.


How is THC put on marijuana?

THC occurs naturally in the marijuana plant in small, crystal-like structures called trichomes. These trichomes produce and store the THC and other cannabinoids that give marijuana its psychoactive effects. When the marijuana plant is harvested, dried, and then heated (through smoking, vaporizing, or cooking), the THC is activated and can be ingested to produce its effects.


Does the human body produce THC naturally?

Actually, the body DOES create its own form of THC. 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.


What is the chemical in marijuana that gives you the high feeling?

The main psychoactive component in marijuana that produces the "high" feeling is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It interacts with receptors in the brain and nervous system to produce its effects.

Why do we have THC receptors in our bodies?

THC receptors in our bodies exist because our bodies naturally produce chemicals that are similar to THC. These receptors help regulate various functions in the body, such as mood, memory, pain, and appetite.
