Hey, we already use animal fats in a lot of what we eat, well most of us anyway. Humans aren't that far off. I'm down.
The only other place other than in cannabis sativa (and dope head's fat cells ) is in 'dronabinol' the synthetic form of THC used in medicine. You can find Anandamide in the brains of most mammals (which is an endogenous cannabinoid neurotransmitter) which induces the same effect by stimulating the neuroreceptor responsible for getting you high. What a very kind neurotransmitter just need to figure out how to stimulate production of anandamide now
Lots of stuff. There are something like 2 dozen cannibinoids in marijuana, most if not all have an effect on the "high'. That's why some pot makes you sleepy, some makes you horny, some give you killer munchies, some makes you laugh like a loon, gives you severe cottonmouth, and so forth. It is the combinations of these cannibinoids that gives pot different effects. Leaf contains very little THC (compared to buds) but if you smoke it you get high, but not like the high you get from bud. That's because some of those alkaloids are found in or on the leaf. If you grow pot, try this: Harvest some when the hairs are 20% color changed, then again when they are 50% color changed, some at 75% color changed, then make hash from some of the buds. You'll get a different high each time, from the same plant. Btw, do you know that chocolate contains at least 1 cannibinoid, which may explain the chocolate "high" some people feel when they eat a bunch.
there's an article in this months Scientific American Mind about it. theres even a little diagram. cool neurscience fact: ananda is the sanskrit term for bliss. anandamide=bliss chemical
no... thc metabolites end up getting stored in our fat... which are just traces of whats left of the THC.. none of which will get you high...
