Figured I would post this here so more people can see.
http://www.hightimes.com/read/scientists-figured-out-how-block-pot%E2%80%99s-effect-memory
A short breakdown of the article is CB1 receptors are directly connected to 5-HT2a receptors (the receptor mainly responsible for psychedelics' effects) and basically they work together in many very interesting ways. The biggest one is that they have found that the 5-HT2a receptor is what gives CB1 agonists such as THC their psychoactive effects, and when the CB1 and 5-HT2a receptors are split, THC only gave the medical effects you would expect from the CB1 receptor
I would highly recommend you read the article

Just a note: you guys would be surprised how much traffic that forum gets. I recently posted another article on weed DUI's and it has like 1500 views or something now.
Usually these news posts in the Pub get buried or trolled due to all the controversial topics.

I believe weed is amazing, It also looking back has showed me some things...
that psychedelics can show
Looknig back Everytime I smoked when my life was shitty, I always had horrible anxiety attacks, paranoia, and generaly wrongness with the high, and it also demotivated me
When my life is going good and I smoke I get vastly motivated, happy, anxiety free
I always had its own headspace, but this article really is cool
thanks OP!
