They aren’t having you smoke cannabis. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Scientists located and isolated the portion of the brain that cannabis effects. The research originally started because of the induced munchies. They found that area of the brain has receptors that connect to various chemical allowing you the pleasure of the experience. By introducing a drug into your system that bonds with these receptors, they effectively cut off that pleasure area resulting in the opposite effect of the munchies.

At the same time, it helps to parley smoking since nicotine attaches to the same nodes.
