Why Didn't I Get High the First Time?
Several factors can contribute to not feeling high after taking cannabis. These include dosage, type of cannabis, method of consumption, individual tolerance, and the presence of THC-blocking substances.
Understanding THC and THC-Blocking Substances
THC is the compound in cannabis that produces the high. Some people have THC-blocking substances in their bodies that prevent THC from working effectively. This is often the case in first-time users or those with certain health conditions.
