  2. THC effects the cannibanoid receptors in your brain (the CB1 receptor) and spleen (the CB2 receptor)

    The psychoactive cannabinoids increase the activity of dopaminergic neurons in the mesolimbic pathway (a pathway for carying dopamine).

    Dopamine has many functions in the brain, including important roles in behavior and cognition, voluntary movement, motivation and reward, inhibition of prolactin production (involved in lactation), sleep, mood, attention, and learning.

    thats about as basic as i can get. maybe someone else has a more thurough explanation.
