Marijuana has something called THC in it. THC stands for tetrahydrocaniibinol.

The cannabis plants contain about 400 compounds, sixty of which are called cannabinoids. These sixty compounds are considered to have medicinal effects, although most of them are found in only trace amounts. The most prominent and well known cannabinoid is Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Another prominent compound is cannabidiol (CBD). THC is psychoactive (that means it affects your mind and your mood). CBD is not psychoactive. Different strains of Cannabis plants have different effects based on the different amounts of THC and CBD that they contain.
