Toked

Toked refers to the act of consuming cannabis, typically by smoking it. This involves inhaling the smoke produced when dried cannabis flowers are burned. The term is often used informally to describe the experience of being under the influence of cannabis, which can include altered perception, mood changes, and a sense of relaxation.

The psychoactive effects of cannabis are primarily attributed to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a compound present in the plant. When toked, THC enters the bloodstream through the lungs and travels to the brain, where it interacts with the endocannabinoid system. This interaction leads to the various subjective effects experienced by users.

The practice of toked has a long history, with evidence of cannabis use dating back thousands of years in various cultures. It has been used for medicinal, spiritual, and recreational purposes. In contemporary society, the legality and social acceptance of toked vary significantly across different regions. Some jurisdictions have legalized cannabis for medical and/or recreational use, while others maintain strict prohibition. The methods of consumption have also evolved beyond smoking to include vaporization, edibles, and concentrates.
