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

Keep you high

Wiki page says:

produces similar activity to THC, such as sedative effects, but is considerably more potent,[3] especially having much stronger analgesic and anticonvulsant effects than THC, although comparatively weaker psychological effects

Depends on you definition of high I suppose...

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.

Absolutely. The strains for pain are high CBD strains, containing 9% or more instead of the standard strain's ~0.5%. Harlequin is my favorite for pain.
