>>THC (marijuana) produces effects 30 minutes to an hour after exposure....and the effects usually last up to 4 hours.

What is your source for this data? My (many years past)experience with pot demonstrated that it works within 30 seconds. I think the lungs absorb it pretty much instantaneously

The drug causes dopamine release which produces euphoria. Some users feel sleepy or depressed after using, some experience anxiety or panic.

Even low doses of THC impair concentration and coordination.

Maybe. 4 generations of rock and jazz musicians would beg to differ. My experience is that pot enhances concentration to the point of obsessiveness. It also enhances perception- colors are more intense, hearing is sharpened, sex is through the roof, esthetic sense is enhanced and enjoyment is derived from often mundane pursuits such as daytime TV watching. I used to get stoned and watch Lawrence Welk with my grandma and couldn’t wait for Myron Florin to make his accordion do the bugaloo. You show me how the bridging of generations could be otherwise so generously facilitated. Cannabis is the couch potato drug of choice, next to Cheetos and Tang. It’s pretty harmless in less than mission critical situations. I wouldn’t want my airline pilot to become esthetically fixated on all the pretty landing lights.
