What is THC?
According to ScienceDirect, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is one of the main active components in marijuana. It has mild sedative effects at low doses and is a hallucinogen at high doses.
If you’re new to marijuana or disposable weed vapes in general, understanding what THC is should be your first step.
Aside from its technical definition, THC is what produces the “high” that your average user reports from cannabis use.
THC interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, specifically CB1 receptors in the brain. It triggers effects including euphoria, altered sensory perception, pain relief, increased appetite, and maybe even drowsiness.
Is THC Legal?
It depends on where you live. THC is legal in many states in the U.S. for recreational and medical use. Check with your local laws to confirm legality in your state. You can also explore Leafly’s legalization guide here.

Important Safety Tips
If you’re just getting started with THC we recommend starting with a low dose and going slow. Until you know how THC affects your body, take it easy and then adjust.
Also, never drive or operate machinery while under the influence of THC. Keep your products away from pets and children to avoid accidental poisoning.
And very importantly, only buy your THC from reputable sources like GEEK THCX.
