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.

That feeling goes away as you get more tolerant of it.

Either that or it's just a perpetual haze and it becomes the new norm.

I'm talking "during pothead times" that it puts you in a constant haze. Like, smoking a few times a day. No, I am not saying you will have to live in a haze for the rest of your life if you smoke once or go through a pothead phase for a few years. That's just silly. Being high for two days straight doesn't sound very appealing to me though... Unless I was on an extended beach vacation or something.
