of emotions by stimulating the brain's reward system and may persist in the
body for about 24 hours after the consumption of cannabis. The effects of
cannabis appear about one hour after ingestion and can therefore persist beyond
24 hours until the total elimination of THC.

addicted than girls with age of onset of consumption to 15 years on average.
