A clearer look at how THC affects the brain

How can the effects of THC from the cannabis plant be harnessed to deliver better treatments for epilepsy and other conditions? UT Southwestern researchers are one step closer to solving that riddle by capturing the most detailed image yet of the brain receptor that activates THC, opening potential new pathways for the development of safer and more effective medicines.

    I was smoking a preroll with my friend & they dropped to the floor, coherent, eyes open, fingers twitching a little bit and talking normal but not able to get up until a few minutes. They played it off a few weeks ago as just playing around but this time they dropped in their kitchen floor then through a screen door with same symptoms & right after smoking a preroll from a dispensary. I thought I killed my friendπŸ’”πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

    He should have added that the actual marijuana is not a drug….it is an herb until you extract manipulate synthesized or compound the marijuana….. The drug is a product that results from those processes…..when people call marijuana a drug it’s only out of ignorance



  23. Tim Gann on July 5, 2019 at 4:23 pm

    Some tiny ass blunts…

    I really like the research going into marijuana being used as a medicine. CBD and THC have a lot of natural health and body benefits. I use it medicinally to recover from workouts and long days, to aid sleeping, and for some general psychological and mood benefits I personally perceive while on lower dosages of the drug. I also use the flower for recreational purposes as well, to have fun and feel good, to socialize with friends and strangers, and to enhance movies, TV shows, books, and video games. I have multiple sclerosis and I feel like the medicine helps my body not feel so worn down and fatigued. I also feel it benefits other symptoms of MS, like spacity, quite a lot. I feel it also helps times of relapse in my MS as well. I also feel a spiritual connection to and appreciation of the earth, space, and God when dosed with the drug that is hard for me to feel otherwise. (Not claiming anything religious and I know the spiritual effects could possibly just be chemically induced, but it feels real enough to me.) I really don’t want anyone to be afraid of responsibly using the drug. We’ve seen throughout history from prohibition to the war on drugs that criminalizing drugs actually increases rates of abuse and addiction. In other countries where drugs like heroin are legal addiction rates and rates of abuse are lower. I feel like since weed has been so stigmatized and criminalized that a counter-culture has formed where abuse and overuse of the drug is applauded. I think people in the weed community abuse the drug more than they like to admit. To me, marijuana is a drug that should be respected and used spiritually, medicinally, and recreationally depending on the circumstances. I don’t think it should be abused or overused or take over one’s life, but it also shouldn’t be criminalized and stigmatized.

    P.S. I’m a little stoney right now, so please don’t criticize my writing here too harshly, thanks!
