The effects of marijuana may be noted within seconds to several minutes after inhaling the smoke (from a joint or a pipe) or within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion (eating foods containing marijuana, such as "hash brownies").
Other marijuana effects may include blood-shot eyes; increased heart rate and blood pressure; bronchodilatation, or in some users, bronchial irritation leading to bronchoconstriction and/or bronchospasm; pharyngitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, and asthma in heavy users; possible detrimental effects upon the immune system.
Because the metabolite (the substance formed when the body breaks down the drug) of marijuana may be stored in the body's fat tissue, evidence of marijuana may be demonstrated in heavy users through urine testing up to 1 month after discontinuing the drug.
