THC intoxication appears to be something that must be learned. Those using THC by themselves often simply fall asleep. Psychological effects vary with the dose. This is followed by a feeling of hilarity and mirth. A sense of euphoria, well-being and relaxation accompanies the mirth.
Higher doses produce a dreamy, carefree state characterized by distortions of time and space.
Enhanced body awareness occurs. External experience is glorified, and details take on supernatural importance. High doses produce distorted perceptions and mescaline-like hallucinations. Extreme and fluid emotional changes of dreams occur, in the waking state. A profound thirst sometimes accompanies high doses.
