It is often used to achieve immediate feelings of euphoria, also known as the “high.” Besides the high, there are other psychological effects of THC. These effects vary from person to person, depending on the strength and amount of marijuana used and how it is taken. The effects of THC include an initial relaxed and mellow feeling, eyes may dilate and other senses may be enhanced.
