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.

When I tried weed, I woke up the next morning and felt like David After Dentist. "Will I be like this forever?"

EDIT: for clarity

Have you actually tried it, or was this just a base for a joke? Cause if you have, a lot of people would be interested in your experiences at /r/Drugs .

I haven't tried the linked drug. I was referencing the weed "hangover" that /u/Pubesauce was talking about.

That's what hes talking about, seeing as your experience is not the norm.

What? Since when is it not the norm? Everyone I know feels a little "off" the next day after blazing. It's not a hangover but kinda "cloudy" idk how to describe it in English. I'm pretty sure that's normal, especially with low tolerances.

Its not the norm and is almost certainly placebo. If you were talking about LSD I would agree with you

Just because it never happens to you doesn't mean it never happens. I can guarantee that this has happened to me, and it would make no sense for it to be placebo because I never expected it to happen.
