I don't know, just came up with this thought so follow me on this. What if marijuana had no phycoactive properties and the only reason you got "high" was because you imagined it so to speak. A placebo effect.

You never know. The human brain is capable of amazing things.Quote:

well then that would be pretty fucking wierd.
Well if your theory was true than how come everytime a kid who buys oregano doesn't get blitzed out of his skull? He doesn't know its not pot.
Well, I know this is not the case and that pot does have a reaction in the brain. Was just throwing the idea out there. But I read a thread in here of some guy selling someone repacked cigarettes as joints and the person he sold them to said he got stoned.Quote:

On another note, I've done magic mushrooms 5 times and they didn't trip me out half as hard as when I was new to weed. I remember my second time smoking (the first was an incomprehensible blur) I was sitting there with my eyes closed falling down complex pattersn of colours. Then somebody threw some Megadeth on and I sat there saying "megadeth, megadeth, megadeth" just to focus my mind on something to hold it together. Finally I realized that I was standing (when I thought I was sitting) saying it and people were saying "man, I want whatever that guy's having!", and a fell down laughing unable to respond.
hell of a placebo effect ;)
If marijuana was fake and I could get high from imagination then all of the study they made behind marijuana would be fake and I would be high right now. Sorry for making it seem so seriously but I dont appreciate you wondering if marijuana was fake, not even for just a thread for something to talk about. Marijuana is serious fuckin business lol ^_^.
Sorry man, no hard feelings.Quote:

There's some radio show from the 70's called Spook Radio or something like that containing a lot of info on this project. This guy who was taken away by some CIA agents was saying that they took them to labs and gave them random drugs(sometimes sugar pills) at random times. All the subjects were either heroin addicts or recovering from being one.. Spooky story!
Oh yea also.. this other guy said the CIA stopped the projects after some time because "they didn't like the look in their subjects' eyes".
Those people probably went nuts for a WHILE!
these this swedish stuff called snuss (sp)... its like chewing tobaccy but better... hits rlly hard :)

I've seen ppl get drunk on non-alchoholic beer before, like it's all in they're head, they believe they're gonna get drunk so their mind tells them they're drunk.
If that was true, I'd be really pissed off if someone proved it... :p
Well the one i smoke must be real cause off of a few hits i do stuff i normaly woudent do sober a
It couldn't be a placebo effect. For instance, someone who gets high for the first time has no idea what to expect. And yet, they exhibit the same characteristics as all us stoners. It's too universally similar to be something your mind created. If it was, then the effects of marijuana would be different for everyone.
