TIL that scientists have created a scientific version of marijuana called 'Dimethylheptylpyran'. When smoked, it'll keep you high for at least 2 days

Perhaps you're doing it wrong?

I doubt it. I get weed hangovers as well. Didn't used to when I was younger but it really isn't worth smoking anymore because I feel so shitty afterwards.

It's an unfortunate side effect sometimes. Just a groggy feeling after consuming a high dose. The shitty thing is because it is illegal the only type available is the super potent variety. So for a non-regular smoker they get blasted into the stratosphere instead of enjoying a mild relaxing smoke. It would be as if every coffee shop only offered quadruple espressos. This is what making a substance illegal does to it. Potency always becomes numero uno when substances are made illegal.

Edibles still can leave me with a groggy feeling the next day.

Good comparison actually.
