Kush Chronic-les: Scientist May Ruin “Medical” Marijuana With New Study…
    #14246760 - 04/06/11 10:18 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Did you guys see this???

“An ingenious set of experiments,” The New Scientist reports, “could open the way to cannabis-like drugs that provide pain relief without causing unwanted highs.” First of all: Unwanted? Second of all: What is wrong with you, scientists??

The new study, undertaken by Li Zhang of the US National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, posits that THC (the active component in cannabis) is able to dull pain by binding to receptors for the neurotransmitter glycine—meaning that its painkiller function is separable from its “get totally baked” function, which acts on cannabinoid type-1 receptors.

So if you love the painkilling and sense-dulling effects of marijuana, but hate “unpleasant side effects such as hallucinations” and eating mozzarella sticks, you may soon have “non-psychoactive forms of cannabis” to consume. Good for you! But for the rest of us, this is terrible news.

See, medical marijuana, as everyone in California knows, is the acceptable way to make weed legal (for white people—it’s still illegal if you’re black!). Talk up marijuana’s painkilling, appetite-inducing, nausea-killing effects, and you can convince a liberal legislature to semi-legalize it, even though it still induces (ha) “unwanted highs.” So long as pot has both a legitimate medical function and gets you stoned, you just need a doctor’s note and one of those cards to get as baked as you want.

Why the hell would anyone want weed that doesn’t get you high??? (www.bossip.com)

Smoking weed isn't awesome to some people. I've heard of it having visuals along with the high. Some people are too paranoid or anxious. Others just don't like it. Etc.

Never gets me high, gives me giggles, makes music better or makes me have profound thoughts.

"For the rest of us" meaning you and you alone?
Is it so hard to believe that some people don't enjoy getting stoned but still need a good pain killer?
I just find it incredibly amusing that you think scientists should not separate chemicals in order to reach personalized results.

:bunny::bunnyhug:
All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

Remember the old UFO threads here, wherein some wacky member(s) would chastise scientists for not quitting their regular paying jobs in their chosen fields of study to go chasing lights in the sky?

No, I do not remember. Why you ask?

Well, I don't use cannabis. But why you asked?

Well, when I asked Mushroom Trip if she remembered something, you replied you did not remember. Sort of seems like drug damage to think you are her. :braindamage:
