What do u mean by affects? As in ill still be high for 2-3 days or ill just feel slow and out of it for that long? Because to be high for 2-3 days is kind of scary

Brief Answer:
You won't be high for 3 days

Detailed Answer:
Hello
There are active substances in marijuna which make you feel high.
Slowly these are eliminated through urine and breath.
Initially the feeling of high will be strong, probably for one day and slowly this feeling will wean off.
Lme know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
