I found a post from another forum that explains the basics of what happens when getting high better than I did.
A user of Marijuana will often describe the experience of smoking marijuana as initially calming and mellow, producing a sensation of haziness and light-headedness. The user’s eyes may dilate, causing colours to seem more intense, and other senses may be enhanced. Later, feelings of a paranoia and panic may be felt by the user, especially if they are new to smoking marijuana or have taken more than they are prepared for. The interface caused by the THC on the brain is what causes these feelings. To understand how marijuana affects the brain, you need to know about the parts of the brain that are affected by THC. Here are the basics:Neurons are the cells that process information in the brain. Chemicals called neurotransmitters allow neurons to communicate with each other. Neurotransmitters transmit impulses across the synapse, between two neurons and bind to protein receptors, which enable numerous functions and permit the brain and body to be turned on and off. Foreign chemicals, like THC, can simulate or block actions of neurotransmitters and impede normal functions.
Within your brain, there are groups of receptors called the ‘cannabinoid receptors’. They are concentrated in several different places. These cannabinoid receptors have an effect on several mental and physical activities, including: Short-term memory Coordination Learning Problem solving Cannabinoid receptors are triggered by a neurotransmitter called anandamide. Anandamide belongs to a collection of compounds called cannabinoids. An example of a cannabinoid is THC. THC works by mimicking the actions of anandamide, meaning that THC binds with cannabinoid receptors and activates neurons, which causes effects on the mind and body.
Cannabinoid receptors in the brain
High concentrations of cannabinoid receptors are present in the hippocampus, cerebellum and basal ganglia. The hippocampus is situated within the temporal lobe and is significant for short-term memory. Once the THC binds with the cannabinoid receptors inside the hippocampus, it hinders the recollection of recent events. THC also affects coordination, which is controlled by the cerebellum. The basal ganglia controls involuntary muscle movements, which is another reason why motor coordination may be impaired whilst under the influence.
My submission for free Summer Slaughter tickets: I should win because I'd like to instead spend the money for tickets on money for more weed going towards Operation Smoke a Ton of Weed With The Black Dahlia Murder.
Also tomorrow I'm pretty sure I'm buying some kind of bong. Last night we held a funeral type thing for my friends because he managed to trip and toss it into a tree. Poor thing only made it from December-June.
Bout to smoke me a big ol birthday bowl of hash!!!! FTW

Hah, technically you did not. We had announced that all pre-orders for Khaos Legions would be entered into a contest with Altec Lansing (the audio company). Winners were picked at random.
Check the link below, that the grand prize you won...

Hey there,
This is Brian Rocha, publicist for Arch Enemy. Would you be so kind to send me your mailing address as you are Altec Lansing's grand prize winner, in conjunction with Arch Enemy's pre-order package.
They're both pretty sure, they just haven't caught me or had a way to prove it...and as long as my mom doesn't snoop around I'm cool. My bed has a little door by where my head goes, it wreaks seeing as there's usually weed in it and always a chillum and bowl.
My mom would freak out on me at first....my dad would probably be cool, he has bigger drug problems among my sisters.
