Hangovers

in another recent thread, it was explained that dehydration is the main cause of a hangover from alcohol, but what makes you feel hungover from weed?

Maybe all those cannabinoids that are still sloshing around in there?

Quote:
Cannabinoids are lipid soluble and are distributed rapidly throughout the body’s tissues, where they are released slowly and metabolized. The elimination half-life of THC is estimated at 20 hours to 10-13 days. Cannabinoids are metabolized in the liver to more than 20 metabolites, many of which are active.
