* Your nervous system sends a ton of signals from your various senses all the time.
* But you brain has gotten very good at ignoring most of them when it’s not necessary.
* THC (the active substance that makes you stoned) does so by getting into your brain (while most substances cannot) and it makes with the mechanism that filters your sensory input.

Being stoned lowers your threshold for novelty and raises your threshold for boredom, and you start processing sensory input your brain would normally filter out.

Edit: corrected.
