The effects listed below are based upon the [[subjective effects index]] and personal experiences of [[PsychonautWiki]] [[PsychonautWiki#Contributors|contributors]]. The listed effects will rarely if ever occur all at once but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.

===Physical effects===

*'''[[Spontaneous tactile sensations|Spontaneous tactile sensations]]'''

*'''[[Sedation|Sedation]]''' - Although certain strains of cannabinoids present mild encouraged [[Stimulation|stimulation]] at low to moderate dosages, for the most part the effects on the user's energy levels are primarily sedating. This encourages one to relax but can however be suppressed by simply forcing oneself to engage in physical activities.

*'''[[Motor control loss|Motor control loss]]''' - This substance causes a partial to moderate suppression of motor control which intensifies proportional to dosage but rarely results in a complete inability to walk and perform basic movements.

*'''[[Vasodilation|Vasodilation]]''' - THC decreases blood pressure which dilates the blood vessels and increases blood flow throughout the body. The arteries in the eyeball expand from the decreased blood pressure. Studies in the 1970s showed marijuana, when smoked or eaten, effectively lowers intraocular pressure by about 25%, as much as standard medications.<ref>Cardiovascular Effects of Cannabis | http://www.idmu.co.uk/canncardio.htm</ref> These enlarged arteries often produce a bloodshot red eye effect.

*'''[[Increased bodily weight|Increased bodily weight]]''' ''or'' '''[[Decreased bodily weight|Decreased bodily weight]]''' - Depending on the specific cannabinoid, one can find themselves with a body which can feel either physically heavier or lighter than it usually would in a ~~style~~ that is entirely dependent upon dosage.

*'''[[Changes in gravity|Changes in gravity]]''' - At extremely high dosages many users report a feeling of being pulled backwards across vast distances at powerful speeds. This sensation progressively increases in intensity and eventually becomes unbearable if one leans backwards or lies down but disappears altogether once the user sits up or leans forward.
