The issue is that the US employed Markush structural definitions so rather than the previous system in which each unique chemical (even the specific isomers in some cases) had to be systematically brought under legal control, whole scaffolds were controlled.
I noted that initially 'synthetic THC' was usually one of the many selective CB1 ligands that had been patented in the 1970s and 1980s.
BUT
As all selective CB1 scaffolds became controlled, Chinese cooks simply tried out a non-selective CB1/CB2 ligand on the pragmatic grounds that it was technically legal and if users accepted it, it was 'good enough'.
So now compounds that may not have even gone through animal models are being produced.
Oh, and having been called on to interpret the GC-MS/NMR pairs of thousands if not tens of thousands of samples, the ONLY class of compound where impurities (dimers/trimers/polymers) was more commonly found than not were these synthetic cannabis ligands.
I have said it before but it isn't a case of IF, only WHEN one will turn out to have an unexpected chronic toxic effect. For people who smoked these things, I would be surprised if there wasn't an increase in the rate of respiratory system cancers associated with their use.

If you rap you know damn well even the battle leagues aren't coming off the dome anymore.
Get yo ass in the rap battle thread and prepare to be shredded. (Nah im not great but still) --- Cypher? I dont see why it has to be competitive (says the guy who will surely lose)

I disagree to a decent extent. Lincoln Park hat a couple decent songs -- I liked fort minor. (cringe as it may be) --- I listened to limp bizkit when they were popular and even got a collab with someone from wutang on 'shut the fuck up'

it's not a bad thing. the music I write can be considered crap. acoustic guitar and spit hot fire. @notsmokeymcpot420
Yeah, they all write their stuff beforehand. I long to do a battle like they did in 8 Mile. Just a beat and the top of the dome.

I choke trying to spit. So it pairs with guitar. If either guitar or vocals are average. It’s a B+

Yeaa for me 'freestyle' implies off the dome 'cypher' implies some prewritten bars for a particular thing.
Someday ill go off of the dome on here -- and either A. It gunna suck horribly or B. its gunna be mid-decent and noone gunna believe it wasnt penned. Heavy odds on A lol
this is another classic example of 'who knows' where a BL thread is gunna go....
Yeah, I feel you. I did a cypher for Baddies and we all wrote our bars beforehand.

tl;dr
laws need to be changed
imma tell you guys something i need to get off my chest regarding the cultivation of cannabis for personal use.
i recently tried my hand at a micro grow and only one plant. it was maybe 7in high but getting bushy. it smelled a little even beside an air filter machine and litter boxes. lol
anyway i said i trashed it but actually saw how far id push it with one hemp plant that carries a felony and up to five years. dont need anymore of that shit. maybe one day....
laws be with us.
anyway
i had just cut the last large first fan leaves and started bending the stems in a tight-ish circular motion. created my own watering system (home derived nutrients in chlorinated tap water; some needed a little alchemy) and the plant was thriving.
all on one two tubed USB light system. didnt think it was possible but was proved otherwise. not sure how far it would have went with the whole process but from what i observed it would have done quite well.
point? i miss baby girl. it became a passion - almost an obsession lol - and when i flipped it to 12/12 it came alive. didnt take close ups as i could only see through a jewelers loop but there were some "hairy" crystalline growth right before the trim. i think about her every day. its like something was taken from me and i do not care for it. whattaya do? lobby? hahahaha
it was an experiment thought up a few years ago but had a chance (lucky as the seed was one of a dozen - maybe 5 idr atm - that came up that i figured was wishful thinking), saw a struggling seedling trying to make it, brought it inside and gave it TLC and then killed it.
yo i made tea out of it. let it simmer for about 30 mins and drank the green water. a few hours later it was the same effect as edibles so the plant was already becoming psychoactive. it was no placebo. i saved the "greens" and munched on em with breakfast the next morn. same effect. smiles for no reason.
oh how i miss you mary jane and am very disturbed that i killed you
you taught me many things and brought me joy and a sense of being proud to watch an underdog become the resilient champion. i am what i become. thank you.
a pic of when i felt it wasnt just a "weed" if ya will. wasnt certain, but....
before the murder of baby girl
obv got pics like a proud father of each step their yoots go through but wont bore ya anymore with it.
so the palnt was roughly a month and two to tree week old. couldnt imagine another 3 months of feeding it flowering nutes and watching it bloom. one day i will be allowed to grow 1 plant and that will suffice. i needed a christmas tree this year and was hoping for that but getting hit inda head with a sack of coal isnt recommended 10/10.

Dude you are otw there. The version of yourself growing as much as humanly possible. Thats the one in your conscious, fully developed getting all that cannabis love. Have another 80hrs for marijuana cultivation. And another 40hrs for your career as a budding marijuana scientist. You got this. I recommend vivosun. Same tent going on a decade. Easy to clean and easy to promote solid tek. Why in the fuck would you eat the leaves and make a tea. You like headband and skunk. You know exactly what im getting at. Dont believe everything you read online.tl;dr
