You take a hit of marijuana - it's evil, that's what some say!
Do you know what it does to you in a biological way?
First, it depends on the chemicals inside of the particular plant in the bowl.
You light up the pipe, and it lights up the night,
But where do those chemicals go?
They flow into the bloodstream and go to the body's receptors.
CB1 and CB2 as they are called.
Depending on the kind of herb that you are smoking
Makes a difference which receptors are involved.
CB1 receptors are responsible for the euphoric and anti-convulsive effects found in cannabis.
The basal ganglia, limbic system, hippocampus, cerebellum, and the reproductive system is where they exist.
CB1 receptors pick up the THC and cannabidiol, they're chemicals in weed,
And they mimic the functions of anandamide, which your body creates on its own out of need!
They flow into the blood stream and go to the body's receptors.
CB1 and CB2 as they are called.
Depending on the kind of herb that you are smoking
Makes a difference which reactions are involved.
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is the chemical which makes fat ladies sing.
It acts as an anti-psychotic, anti-epileptic, neuroprotectent, anti-spasmodic, among many other things.
There's THC, CBD, CBN, CBC, CBG, just to name a few
Of the over 100 known cannabinoids which work effectively inside of you.
Each with its own specific chemical properties, which help many unfortunate souls
With bad backs, cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, and lots of other diseases too,
So let's help them all be free to smoke a bowl.
