"Stoned" refers to a state of intoxication typically caused by the consumption of cannabis. When someone is stoned, they may experience altered perceptions, relaxation, and heightened sensory awareness. This state can affect mood, cognition, and coordination, leading to both positive and negative effects depending on the individual and the amount consumed. The active compounds in cannabis, primarily THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), interact with the brain's endocannabinoid system. This interaction can result in feelings of euphoria, increased appetite, and sometimes anxiety or paranoia. The experience of being stoned varies widely among users, influenced by factors such as dosage, strain, and individual tolerance.
