Hi, Saturday i was on a party. nad a friend gave me a cigar, since i always wanted to try those i took 5 or 6 huge puffs! afterwards i felt very weird inside my head like my brain was sort of in turmoil.

another friend of mine told me yesterday that they tricked me into taking drugs. marijuana i think.

It's fun, relaxing, and makes you appreciate music/art/food more.

Clearly we should arrest everyone who has access to it.

So you can grow marijuana in a pot of soil and mushrooms in a terrarium. How do you manufacture LSD? These types of questions interest me. Should I become a biochemist?

answer both please

Not even once.

HAHA pot smokers.

The drug named URB937 acts on your nervous system's cannabinoid receptors - the same ones that make you stoned if smoke pot - but doesn't affect those receptors in your brain. According to a release from Nature, where the research on URB937 was published last night:

>The cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor-which is known to mediate the effects of marijuana-also recognizes the body's own endocannabinoids. CB1 receptors are found both within the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system . . . Daniele Piomelli and colleagues have developed a molecule that activates CB1 only outside the brain and spinal cord. The drug, with the code name URB937, inhibits an enzyme that degrades one of the endocannabinoids, known as anandamide. In rats, the scientists found that this drug elevated anandamide levels, increased CB1 activation and consequently alleviated several kinds of peripheral pain. URB937 entered the brain, but unlike other CB1 activators, was quickly recognized and pumped out of the brain . . .

basically, every part of your nervous system except the neurons in your brain is affected by this drug. All the medical benefits of pot, without the getting wasted part.

Cures the pain with no high, so now you've lost the ability to lobby marijuana be legalized because it can sure chronic pain. This is assuming it works as well as the researchers say, which if so will destroy the dreams of stoners everywhere. And being published in nature only helps strengthen the validity of their claims.
