A simple answer is this: THC (the active/main ingredient in marijuana) is sent into your bloodstream (when you smoke the weed), is then carried to your brain, and basically reacts with the neurons in your head and changes the way you feel and what you see.

Weed contains a psychoactive compound called THC that interacts with receptors in your brain, resulting in changes in mood, perception, and cognitive function. This alteration in neurotransmitter activity leads to the "high" feeling associated with using weed.
