Please help me answer this question!

I know that this might not belong in this particular sub-forum and I apologize for that. However, I thought that some of the people on this part of the site might have the answer to my question.

Ok, so I go to high school and for the past few days we have had a "drug guy" coming in and telling us all this bullshit about weed and other drugs.

He is from like a rehab facility or something and is preaching to us why weed is bad. SO yesterday he said "THC is fat soluble and is stored in fat cells. Your brain is made of fat cells and therefore the THC is stored there. Since THC is stored in your brain it can be released up to weeks after you have smoked the weed and can cause you to become high several days after you have smoked the weed." I sensed bullshit as soon as I heard this. I went home and did some research, of course the dude was bullshitting...

I found out that after you come down from the high the body metabolizes the THC into a metabolite called 11-hydroxy-THC (which has the same psychological affects as THC. HOWEVER, this 11-hydroxy-THC is then converted AGAIN into a different metabolite called 11-nor-9-THC (WHICH PRODUCES NO PSYCHOLOGICAL AFFECTS and is not a psychoactive substance at all) My question is to you guys, how long does it take for this process from THC to 11-hydroxy-THC and then from 11-hyrdoxy-THC to 11-nor-9-THC to occur?? I need a very prompt response because I am meeting with this drug guy first thing in the morning and I WANT TO PROVE HIM WRONG SOOO BAD! Please respond as quickly as you can. Thanks in advance guys. Happy Toking!

 

our brain isn't made of fat cells......It's made of nerve cells, brain cells, and cortical pyramidal cells...Fat cells exist on our skin thus making us obese and making our skin sag....if our brain was made of fat cells 80% of American would be mentally retarded from all the food they eat.

Using this in a sentence: I think your "drug guy" may be retarded from eating all that McDonald's causing him to become obese and thus retarded from his brain being solely made up of fat cells.

 

hahahahaha wat a stupid fuck! just a tool of opression.

 

First and foremost this guy is a fucking dumb ass. But don't blame him, hes been programed. I can say this guy is ABSOLUTELY full of shit. THC is not stored in your body AT ALL. It is metabolized within 4 to 6 hours. The by products of THC do store in fat cells for about a week, depending on how much you use. These by products are absolutely harmless and are not psychoactive at all. Actually when your getting tested for pot, their not testing for THC, their testing for the by products. Try picking up some hempseed oil from costco, those same chemicals will be in that. I mean fuck, even the day after a night of extreme toking I feel absolutely clear and have no problem driving. IMO the only after effects of pot, are the insight you get, and the anti depressant properties.

 

the brain is not made of fat cells but there is definitely a quantity of lipids in the central nervous system.
