Science Help! How Does Cannabis Work in the Body and Brain to Produce Its Effects?

Question by …: Science Help! How does cannabis work in the body and brain to produce its effects?
Don’t worry, I’m not trying to use it, it’s for my gcse coursework and I’d like to be very scientific and get into detail about how it works. You know, include stuff about synapses and THC and such. But I’ve been looking around and I’ve only read about the EFFECTS and it doesn’t say what cannabis does in the body/brain to produce these effects.

Please help and answer in as much detail as possible please! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
