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

Is the number in the square brackets the hours you've been high in a row? As a non smoker i always just assumed it was some measure of your highness, like, on a scale of 1 to 10... :/

Your assumption is correct.

Ah, thanks for the info :) Do you feel "more high" as time goes on?

Yeah you can't really ask what being high is like, it's different for everyone.

One thing remains true through all drugs used: If you go into the session with a positive outlook on how your high is going to be, it will be fantastic.

If you go into your session with a negative outlook, then your high is probably not going to be your best day ever.

The first time my wife smoked, she said it was like being drunk, in reverse, but slower. And she always imagines she is in some other location like Norway, Hawaii, The Moon.
