So, this was something I had previously posted deep within another thread, and it didn't get much notice from too many people. I think that it is a very, very interesting theory, and will obviously affect many of us who enjoy the ability to regularly use very potent strains:
"Now that you mention this, I was watching a documentary on BBC America over here, called "Should I Smoke Dope?"(weed dope not H lol). It was about a BBC reporter who was basically a weed virgin, living in Amsterdam and working at a hash cafe for a month, partaking in weed daily as a sort of study. It was rather interesting, but the point is, at the end, she went to a center for psychological and mental health, something like that(it was an officially-recognized british medical establishment I believe).
They were doing a study they allowed her to participate in, basically, they administered(via needle, I believe it was intravenous not intramuscular) THC and the associated Cannibinoids, so she received all the elements she would from taking a "normal hit" of good weed. They had rated her mental state of health on the standardized test while she was sober, she scored a normal 1. She scored a bit higher, but still "mentally healthy" 3 when stoned as if from smoking weed(this was at the end of her month, so she was acclimated to being high)--I believe 4 or 5 was where psychosis began on the scale, albeit very mild.
Well, the next part of the test was administered 5-6 or so days later, and was just THC, to study what role the cannibinoids play, and why some people(who may not process said cannibinoids normally when partaking in marijuana) react so negatively to a drug WIDELY considered almost miracle-like. Well, it was instantly clear that it was much, much worse without the c-noids. She was clearly physically and mentally uncomfortable as soon as it kicked in. When the psychological test was administered, THIS TIME she scored something like a 13-14, which is considered manifestations of somewhat severe schizophrenia---keep in mind, she scored "mentally healthy" when injected with the same amount of THC previously, just WITHOUT associated c-noids this time. Some interesting food for thought about what some of these chemicals could do if some people can't process all elements of the drug correctly."
Now, personally, I think this can explain A LOT. Keep in mind, many growers of fine skunk are vigorously working to up the THC, without any thought to the associated c-noids. Many of you guys are incredibly intelligent and thoughtful about things like this, so I was just looking for what you guys think about this theory. Is THC alone the important part? Many people don't realize we already have cannibinoids in our body(or is it just cannibinoid analogues?), which is what allows most of us to process weed pleasantly. I had previously heard ideas that weed wouldn't be enjoyable to people that don't have those, so, is it possible that these people that have extreme reactions to marijuana, just don't have the necessary cannibinoids? Why the hell does marijuana have to be so not-scientifically-studied? It's the most interesting drug IMO, and with some of the least research done. Anyway, like Mike Myers' character from Coffee Talk on SNL--I gave you a topic, discuss amongst yourselves.
