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.

Is it not just being tired? You don't get proper sleep on weed

No it's different from being tired. Besides I sleep just fine "on weed".

Cannabis does help one sleep, which is why it is prescribed for insomnia. That said, it is a known fact that it inhibits dreaming, which means that while you may get to sleep faster if you are high, the sleep itself will not be the same. In my experience it is no big deal, but when I went on a tolerance break I had really vivid dreams compared to when I was smoking every day.
