Possession vs. use:  

Our brains have their own set of cannabinoids. These natural chemicals play a role in normal brain development and function. The endocannabinoid system is responsible for things like appetite, sleep, emotions and movement. THC and CBD interact with these specific receptors throughout the nervous and immune systems when marijuana is used.

When a person smokes marijuana, the THC and CBD quickly pass from the lungs to the bloodstream and then throughout the body. When a person eats marijuana, the body absorbs THC and CBD more slowly.
