THC (the bit that gets you stoned) is stored in the body’s fat cells. It therefore takes longer to fully clear the system than any other common drug.
SKUNK – The THC content in Hashish is usually between 2 and 8%. The THC content of Skunk can be as high as 20% to put it simply it is much stronger. The effects can almost make it seem like a mild dose of LSD rather than Cannabis.
BE CAREFUL.
Cannabis can be eaten – but the effects take longer to come up on (up to an hour) and can seem more intense, it is harder to regulate just how much you have taken, and you could end up much too stoned.

° Some get the “munchies” (will eat anything)
° Some get the giggles

Some feel sick (especially if they have been drinking alcohol)
~ Cannabis does affect short term memory, but this effect is only temporary and lasts only whilst intoxicated. So trying to study after a smoke is not a good idea as you will probably forget what you have read.
~ Smoking anything for long enough is harmful to the lungs. Cannabis does contain some irritants and carcinogens and it is reasonable to assume that smoking cannabis can cause lung disease or cancer.
