It is a ridiculous thing, and fit for a satire to persons of judgment, to see what shifts these formalists have, and what prospectives to make superficies to seem body, that hath depth and bulk.

Marijuana in the Body. Every time someone smokes a marijuana cigarette or ingests marijuana in some other form, THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and other chemicals enter the user's body. The chemicals make their way through the bloodstream to the brain and then to the rest of the body.
The chemical THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabind) is the effective ingredient in marijuana. When marijuana is smoked, the THC quickly leaves the lungs and enters the blood stream. Once in the bloodstream it makes its way to the brain. THC works by interfering with cannabinoid receptors in the brain.
