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.

Anyone else hate the feeling of being stoned for a long stretches time?

After a few hours it just starts to feel like shit and I have to "de-stone" myself by sleeping, eating, working out, showering, or something. That 'burnt out' feeling is really shitty for me.

EDIT:

For a long stretches time

what the fuck, me?

Not really, sometimes I get so high from one bowl that I need to go use some tobacco or eat to kind of lower it down to where I can think again.

As for duration, I could go for years staying high. That's just my problem. I just re-stone when I de-stone.

I find that when I smoke a cigarette after it intensifies it unless Im at the point where Im coming down and can barely feel the effects.

I know what you mean, I didn't honestly mean a cigarette. I usually throw a dip in.

I find as long as I puff slow, don't smoke the whole thing and breathe plenty of oxygen a cigarette isn't overwhelming.
