    My expectations must have seriously plummeted here because I was actually expecting him to say he was going to stick weed up his dick...

    Me too, guess all our heads (no pun intended) are in the same place...

    Kind of like when people talk about the penal system (legal/judicial) or being a pianist.

    Sorry OP don't have any helpful advice, consider this a bump for your thread.:)

    Marijuana is marijuana..

    You really want to look into the Pineal gland and have your mind blown?
    Look into DMT.

    Nice refs Storm Crow. I always wondered why a nice toke always came down to some refreshing sleep. This inhibition of N-acetyltransferase means that cannabinoids have an almost SSRI-like effect on melatonin. Now, it also seems that they used extra-psychoactive concentrations of THC/CBN, but even at 0.1 micromolar (100 nanomolar, compared to Ki = 32 nanomolar), there are visible effects. By the way, the link between DMT and the pineal gland (release at death) has not really been supported real well, but we do know DMT is produced by the brain as a metabolic byproduct. DMT is really a wonderful molecule, so simple of a structure yet it can put you into a different fucking universe for a good ten minutes AT LEAST.

    Now as for cannabis and the pineal, cannabis doesn't really affect specific regions like say, methamphetamine does. Cannabinoid receptors are found all over the brain. Prohibition sources will say this is a BAD thing (more receptors = more dangerous impairment OHH NOEEES). But that's one side, because this also means that a) cannabinoids play a role in the brain at the very least b) the anti-tumor effects can reach almost all parts of the brain via CB1 receptors, thus providing treatment for god-awful brain cancer and c) weed fucks up real good.... in a good way

    This US Patent demonstrates that cannabinoids prevent tumor migration in the pineal region: \t\t\t\t\tUnited States Patent Application 20080262099
