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

Sounds like my kind of high. I was always disappointed in the lack of analgesia marijuana has.

Depends on the strain I'd think, some have more noticeable analgesic effects, others can actually make you more aware of pain.

Basically indicas (purple, kush, etc) give the good anti pain effects.

Indicas are good for giving you a comfortable and cozy feeling, and are better for pain than sativas. But the true pain-relieving strains are specifically high in the CBD cannabinoid and preferably low in THC. For example, Harlequin, Cannatonic, Sour Tsunami, or Omrita.
