Cannabis

In normal doses, cannabis makes you feel high – relaxed, contented and slightly intoxicated. Some of its side-effects are coordination problems, hunger and impairment of memory function.

The effects arise because THC disrupts the action of the neurotransmitter anandamide, found in different parts of the brain.
