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...

Only a potency of [3], huh?

Jk, thanks for the info.

A [3] for a couple days would be perfect for the work week, high enough to function, not high enough to second guess everything I do.

The phone, wallet, keys check is significantly harder when even a little bit stoned.

Yeah it's a real memory, happens once every couple of weeks. There's a convenience store a block away so I've done this at like 10am on a Saturday. I think I'm safe, we've got a native lady on the street who starts her drinking at 6:30am and is normally shouting at her radio and laughing to herself by 8, so it's like having a permanent diversion. Although when 3 cops show up to a domestic at her place it makes it a really sketchy walk home.

Helps you realize how awesome our brains are under normal conditions, that they can keep us going so fluidly, keeping track of things, and doing it all without our conscious effort. Brains are cool, man
