Question about THC

THC is the chemical in Marijuana that Gets you "high"

So i was wondering.. Does all of this THC present in your body begin to leech or deplete nutrient reserves, Chemicals produced by your body and if so, is the depletion of your body because of the THC, or is it because of the body's efforts of trying to remove THC?

please let me know more on what you know about THC and it's relationship with the body. I find it very interesting.

well when you smoke the THC is absorbed into your body and stored in your fat cells as far as i know it doesnt deplete anything. it acts on your cannabinoid receptors in your brain(which we have because somwhere somehow our brains produce a chemical like Delta 9 THC) that should get you started i dont feel like typing more

thc is fat soluble, so it stays in fat cells and ESPECIALLY the brain because the brain's almost 100% fat. This is why when you smoke for years hardcore you can feel high even a few months after stopping, and (according to my old drug councelor who was an ex addict himself) can take years before it leaves your brain completely.

but THC is so non toxic, your probably worse off eating msg or tylenol. Just cuz its there doesn't mean it hurts you. The only time I feel as though something toxic is in my body is when i drink too much.

yeah i was smoking an ounce of kush at the least in 2 days which went on for about the last 4 years of my life till the past 5 months anyway, and the first month and a half i had flashback THC hhaha

Nice.. what a small wealth of information you provided for me. Thank you. oh and I'm actually doing this natural chef program near where i live and so we're learning alot about nutrition. I'm Just trying to develop my own healthy lifestyle to support my body and keep at optimum performance.

Thank you what a small wealth of information you have provided for me.
It has started to put me in the right mind direction to continue searching for more questions and answers.


yikes! MSG... The silent, and delicious killer.
I try to stay away from overly processed foods.
If anyone has any questions about food and the body just let me know!
thanks again.

Yes and no. Brain is an organ, but organ =/= made of muscle. Your skin, for example, is an organ. But it isn't made of muscle. Neither are your kidneys, for that matter. Or your liver.

In fact, neither your dick nor your lungs are muscles. When your dick gets hard, that's because blood fills spongy tissue in it, not due to muscle contractions (though there are muscles involved in ejaculation, they aren't actually part of the penis).

Similarly, the lungs are made of non-muscular tissue--they inflate because of air being forced into/out of the spongy tissues in them by the contractions of the diaphragm muscle, which isn't actually part of the lungs themselves.

So basically, your lungs and dick are pretty much the same. But your heart is different.

and doesn't smoking just turn that into an oxymoron? Or do you find deep lung hacks sexy?

I don't have deep lung hacks. I skateboard alot and I also do yoga.

I don't really think there is any evidence that THC depletes nutrients in the body. However, it is not water soluble and therefore is a kind of oil and stores in fatty cells. But I think those ideas about depleting nutrients were the governments past propaganda against marijuana or THC. I don't think there is any basis for that. In fact THC is an antioxidant so, in a way, it is like a kind of nutrient.

Good luck
