Cannabinoid receptors

[LazySmoking420]

The human race was developed threw a higher power (god), threw a evolution of time or whatever power you believe in Humans were formed. Humans brains were formed with a "Cannabinoid receptor" before the beginning of time or during the time of evolution.

These Cannabinoid receptors are activated by cannabinoids, generated naturally inside the body (=endocannabinoids) or introduced into the body as cannabis or a related synthetic compound. After the receptor is engaged, multiple intracellular signal transduction pathways are activated.

My question too you is, Was a higher kind inplanting these Cannabinoid receptor in are brain so we can later active these receptors with the "missing link" to mankind, The plant Cannabis?

If that is the case, Wouldn't outlawing the plant be agaisnt a higher power or laughing in the face of evolutions many wonders of mankind.

Discuss.

WEEDS ILLEGAL FOR A COPLE OF SIMPLE REASONS'''''
1. and probably the most important ---studies have shown that smokers (THATS STONERS)..dont need to be suppied with thousands of dollars of personal belongings ....stoners dont for the most part .pay as many taxes as straight edge peeps.....they DONT STIMULATE THE ECONOMY AS MUCH AS
THEY STIMULATE DEALERS AND UNDERGROUND NON TAX PAYING GROW STORES.....
2.even if made legal -taxing would be a huge prob '''''dealers would lower their prices, that the system has already drove up...
more people would grow ..youd see it at flea markets .and swap meets
every UNION smoker guy would buy quantity and the whole US would be swamped by CANADA growers........IF YOU COULD GROW IT OUT SIDE LIKE FARMS ...just imagine how many B.C peeps would grow 1000's of acres
and take all that money back to canada and stimulate their economy..

now about the receptors ...im not versed in that so i cant say i even beleive that there is canibinoid receptors........but im not saying your lying

i do know that weed is a deo PLANT and although many strains ,they are all alike......in some way........
AND THE WEIRD PART IS ,,science isnt ready to be accepted by everyone
well that is CHURCH PEOPLE .....CHURCH PEOPLE WILL BELEIVE THAT THERE IS A HIGHER POWER .and dont hink we evolved...but they use the phone every day ----drive super heavy cars at high speeds...expect that when you plug something in it works ....expect water to come out the faucet....
take asprin for pain ...ZANEX for bordome....the list goes ON AND ON AND ON

ALL THAT HAS ONE THING IN COMMON ....SCIENCE.....

ITS NOT GOD or a higher being --stopping a 2500 pound car from killing a group of kids crossing the street its SCIENCE ------

my dad died from drinking ......held his hand as he went ........
alchohol HAS TO BE MADE past growth of a plant .....and its legal
MARIJUANA grows just about everwhere ..
but that argument could go on and on ......


______I HAVE NO DOUBTS THAT IN around 10 years POT WILL BE LEGAL
there just to much lost money.....ALL the OLD SHREWS that arent going to all of a sudden change there veiws on pot will be replaced by people like our parents and brothers and sisters.....
IF YOU DONT THINK THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE ....your as good as the guy who doesnt care .........
MARCHES .......RALLIES......BENEFITS ......
they all are compramised by the LITTLE KID who shows up all COSTUMED OUT in hippy garb and lookin silly...for every step weed takes forward there are OLD STANDARDS that we have to get rid of ....
you dont see cigarette smokers trying to dress a certain way to stop price inflation----------------as smokers we have to stop the public displays off sillyness for the smart EDUCATED YIPPIES to accept SMOKERS as a coulture

BE HAPPY your alive now ....be happy you can use this forum ....
be happy that in your generation a changing of the Guard WILL HAPPEN.

IF ENOUGH PEOPLE WANT SOMETHING ____THEY WILL HAVE IT
weed not a drug its a genre of people .....
a way of life a way of communication ..when you smoke your like a indian
constantly in deep thought..problems of life fade away

i can walk in any bar and take it to the LIMIT of death at 8 am but i

Cannabis is a $10billion plus per year market, if it were regulated and taxed when legal it would be a huge plus to stimulating economic growth. Any economic reasons for not legalization are only more lof the negative propaganda that we've all been subjected to over the years. LIES LIES LIES!

and who ever said there wasnt any money in bud?

Cannabis Prohibition is wrong and so are any of the arguments against it.
In Canada we knew that stuff over 35 years ago with the publication of The LeDain Commision Report.(Likely older than your father sensistar)

Cannabinoid receptors in our brains and THC is just a scientific explanation to it. Of course it may be true because they are here to give us "facts" but I still think it was originally planned by who ever we came from that cannabis was going to be a substance that we were allowed to use for what ever reason necessary.

[sensistar]

NO SHIT there is a lot of money in POT and pot accesories but'
but they havent found out yet how to control it..
and all my dealers have cars anf houses and shit .but they aint at pta meetings and church .or out buying mad groceries or other thangs ...they only come out when they need something ,like right now..

hell most the time im so high,,, i procastenate about everything turning everday things into week long projects...

[Nochowderforyou]

So could I smoke someones cannabis receptors and get baked? :D

I'm just talking out of my ass again. :p

The cannaboid receptors aren't really THC receptors. They are receptors for molecules that our body uses that are very structurally similar to THC. Because they aren't very specific (many receptors in our bodies are VERY specific for only 1 molecule), THC can also bind to these receptors and act on them. If I went back and actually read my neurophysiology notes, I'd have a much more intelligent answer. I see your point, but it's a happy accident that THC can utilize a receptor in the human brain.

They're also in our livers. And the receptors respond to admine, or something spelled similar, which is a (non-psychoactive) chemical produced by your body. THC molecules happen to resemble this other molecule, so the receptor picks them up. This is true for a LOT of psychoactives.

You can BELIEVE whatever you want about having cannibinoid receptors, though. Freedom of religion... or FROM religion, for us atheists. :D

I'm going to move this to our Medical area, folks. Good topic!

truth is... marijuana is probably one of the most useful plants known to man.

1. You can use it to make all kinds of things from paper, clothes, FUEL.

2. the roots are nice and long and its proven that marijuana actually helps to replenish the nutrients back into the soil (thus into the earth)

3. it contains many nutrients that humans need in theyre daily diets... such as all the omega oils and such need to keep a healthy immune system. (why do you think virtually all animals rush to each the plant?)

4. (this is just my opinion) People that smoke pot tend to be more open minded about everything... which exactly what a government doesn't want the population to be. They dont want everyone to have theyre own opinions and question everything...They want everyone to be ignorant and listen to their propaganda about everything.

those bastards....
