A common side effect of cannabis consumption, referred to medically as Xerostomia, where the mouth feels unusually dry due to reduced saliva production. This happens because cannabinoids like THC interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, specifically affecting the receptors in the salivary glands, leading to decreased saliva flow.
