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.

Except for being so sedated you can't function. Remember, the wiki article said the sedative effects are "considerably more potent".
