Cannabis use and physical signs of interaction between cannabis and body systems

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a homeostasis system that plays a role in how we perceive our surroundings (pain, stress, pleasure, etc.) and how our nervous system interacts with our organs and immune systems. The ECS is affected when cannabinoids like THC and CBD enter the bloodstream and bind to either CB1 or CB2 receptors in various organs.

Temporary vs Permanent Changes Caused by Cannabis

Potential Health Risk Symptoms:

You should consider reducing your cannabis consumption (or stopping) if you have any of the following:

• Dizziness that lasts for a long time
• Weight loss or gain due to increased appetite
• Your heart is racing (heart palpitations), for an extended amount of time (> 15 minutes).
• You have been coughing for a while due to smoking.

Making Your Cannabis Use Less Obvious

If you want to minimize how much the use of marijuana affects you, there are several ways to do this:

• Using vaporizers or tinctures: Vaporizing or using tincture produces very little smoke, so it is also better for your lungs.
• Lowering your THC/CBD content levels: Lower amounts of THC/CBD in your marijuana strain results in lower highs and lower intensity of the physical effects of marijuana.
• Drinking plenty of water: Drinking at least 2-3 liters of water each day will help to keep you hydrated and may decrease some of the physical side effects that you experience after using marijuana.
• Eating well and sleeping well: Eating a healthy diet and getting enough rest will greatly assist in recovery from the physical side effects of marijuana.

Getting Back to Normal After Cannabis Use

Cannabis metabolites typically leave the body within 3–10 days. To speed up the recovery process:

• Drink plenty of water (2–3 liters per day).
• Exercise
• Eat a balanced diet
• Take breaks from cannabis to prevent tolerance build-up.
