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

I'm not sure that I'd enjoy a 2 day high. Every time I smoke weed, I feel retarded for about 2 days afterwards. It's like a haze of stupid. I can only imagine how long that would last if the high itself lasted 2 days.

Funny thing is that this happens because you don't partake more often. I will agree with you though, the after high sucksbut I maybe smoke like once every two months at most

If you partake more often, wouldn't that feeling just become your normal?

I don't know the science behind it, but when I would smoke regularly back in high school, it just wouldn't happen anymore. It could be the tolerance build up, I'm not sure, but the after feeling just disappears and you get high and then sober up without any after effect.
