So, what do you think?
I agree that it is ONLY the placebo effect. A lot of things today are believed due to the placebo rule. Though it does not hurt to have a placebo.

Studies show that a placebo actually does increase the effect of a specific substance (weed being this case). This is so because since you are believing the substance's effect is being increased, it usually does. imp:

SO, even though the microwave example is probably a placebo.. who cares? It'll still increase the effectiveness of the THC, but ONLY if you believe it is.

Toke on tokers, toke on.
