I hears that chocolate supposedly blocks the enzymes in the brain that bring down your high by attacking the cannabanoids present in your system, thus prolonging your high. Is this true?

umm
doubt it
sounds tasty though! :D
I don't think so. It probably just adds a caffeine high on top of your weed high. I highly doubt such a detailed neurological connection between chocolate and marijuana could have been found, because laboratories can't even get weed for medical research, not to mention seeing what happens when they fuck around with chocolate and weed.

Well, it might be the sugar then.
or the coco? perhaps...
Chocalate contains anandamide, which happens to be an endogenous cannabinoid. It also contains N-acylethanolamines that inhibit the break down of anandamide but I don't know if it goes for THC as well.
I dunno; I'd need to read about it in a few places before I'm convinced.
sounds like a load of bs.
i absoultley despise chocolate.

and its research on chocolate and its sence of euphoria, not actually a link between some pot and chocolate
"While the findings from Piomelli's laboratory are very interesting, it would be premature to conclude that eating chocolate leads to anything like a marijuana high," he said.
Ok now you're just trying to sound smart.Quote:

mmmmm.... munchies :)
Endogenous cannabinoid means that it is a chemical produced by our bodies that acts on the CB1 and CB2 receptors. Tetrahydrocannabinol exerts its effects by mimicking anandamide, which is also found in chocolate with some other chemicals called the N-acylethanolamines that prevent anandamide from being metabolized.
Similarly endorphins are the endogenous opiates if that helps any.

Nullific's on top of his game... Very cool.
You know, erowid does have a chocolate section...
:thumbsup:
I doubt it but one time I nuked some chocolated until it melt, added a few grams of weed, renuked it, ate it and got high as hell.
nah, but chocolate ice-cream sounds really nice right about now/ :stoned:
