Tektite is a natural glass that is formed from the impact of meteorites on the Earth's surface. When a high-velocity meteorite strikes the Earth, it generates immense heat and pressure, melting the surrounding material—typically soil and rock—into a molten state. As this molten material is ejected into the atmosphere, it cools and solidifies into small glassy fragments as it falls back to the Earth's surface.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the principal psychoactive compound found in cannabis (Cannabis sativa). It is responsible for the "high" or euphoric effect that users experience when consuming marijuana.
