Joints and blunts are often dipped in PCP and called happy sticks, wicky sticks, or love boat. The effects of smoking any cannabis product are usually felt within a few minutes. Effects reach their peak in ten to thirty minutes and may linger for two or three hours. The effects experienced often depend upon the experience and expectations of the individual user, as well as the activity of the drug itself. Low doses tend to induce a sense of well-being and a dreamy state of relaxation, which may be accompanied by a more vivid sense of sight, smell, taste, and hearing, as well as by subtle alterations in thought formations and expression.
Stronger doses intensify reactions.
The individual may experience shifting sensory imagery, rapidly fluctuating emotions, a flight of fragmentary thoughts with disturbed associations, an altered sense of self-identity, impaired memory, and a dulling of attention despite an illusion of heightened insight. High doses may result in image distortion, a loss of personal identity, and fantasies or hallucinations. The subject may be silly and giggly for no reason and have trouble walking. When the early effects fade, over a few hours, the user can become very sleepy. Users of cannabis frequently use alcohol as well as other drugs at the same time.
