Human Brains Make Their Own 'Marijuana' I'm not sure what they mean by eliminating the "nasty" side of pot. But it is always awesome to see research being done, imagine what we could do with this plant if scientists were properly funded with no restrictions.
When I was around 13 I visted the doctors and while I was waiting in the waiting room I looked at a bulletin notice and for some unknown reason I uncontrollably started laughing for about 4 minutes. Maybe this was my brain creating THC.
