[[Subjective effects]] include [[sedation]], [[appetite enhancement]], [[immersion enhancement]], [[creativity enhancement]], [[increased sense of humor]], [[increased music appreciation]], and [[euphoria]]. The effects can vary widely depending on dose, [[Cannabis#Strains and forms|strain & form]], tolerance, and [[set and setting]]. Notably, it can either strongly [[anxiety suppression|suppress]] or [[anxiety|enhance anxiety]] depending on the individual and situation. | [[Subjective effects]] include [[sedation]], [[appetite enhancement]], [[immersion enhancement]], [[creativity enhancement]], [[increased sense of humor]], [[increased music appreciation]], [[visual, disconnection]] and [[euphoria]].

Lower doses are associated with relaxing effects similar to a [[depressant]]. Higher doses are associated with mild-to-moderate [[hallucinogenic]] effects such as [[geometry|visual hallucinations]], [[conceptual thinking]] and [[time distortion]], as well as a greater risk of [[anxiety]], [[paranoia]], and [[delusions]] (generally more prevalent with sativa strains). | Lower doses are associated with relaxing effects similar to a [[depressant]].

*'''[[Effect::Internal hallucination]]''' - The internal hallucinations of cannabis are extremely variable in their appearance depending on the dosage, tolerance and the individual's brain chemistry. They are very inconsistent and for some even rare but can be described as being fainter in appearance when compared to traditional [[psychedelics]] and do not seem to be as regularly composed of visual [[geometry]]. <p>The most common way in which they manifest themselves is through [[Lucid dreaming#Fully defined hypnagogia |hypnagogic]] scenarios. They are most common during high dosages in dark environments and can be comprehensively described through their [[Visual_effects:_Internal_hallucinations#Variations|variations]] as both lucid and delirious in believability, fixed in style, autonomous in controllability, equal in new experiences and memory replays in content and are primarily [[geometry]]-based in style. | *'''[[Effect::Internal hallucination]]''' - The internal hallucinations of cannabis are extremely variable in their appearance depending on the dosage, tolerance and the individual's brain chemistry.

*'''[[Effect::Peripheral information misinterpretation]]''' - This very inconsistent effect tends to be mild and fleeting in contrast to other more powerful [[psychoactive substances]]. This effect rarely occurs on cannabis alone but when it does it is often in high dosages and/or when the individual has a low tolerance. It is more likely to manifest itself in certain environments as opposed to others and is more likely to happen if one has used stronger substances recently, typically within the past 24 to 36 hours. | *'''[[Effect::Peripheral information misinterpretation]]''' - This very inconsistent effect tends to be mild and fleeting in contrast to other more powerful [[psychoactive substances]].
