This goes on until the cells are "full" and some of the THC finally makes it to the brain.

Dr. Russo did some studies on endocannabinoid deficiency - I think I have one in my link below, or else it's in my New Year's post. Medicated a bit ago, so I fergit which one! Or just google it.

Keep on toking!

WOW! that's the first time I've heard of that explanation, it makes total sense to me now, my crazy idea that people are deficient is not crazy after all. I was thinking that since we do make some endocannabinoids but not much of them, so consuming more from cannabis makes us better, then it's a lot like some essential chemicals that we need to stay really healthy... mentally and physically. Granny, you're awesome. Now I've got some more research to do...
GreenDestiny Reviewed by GreenDestiny on . No reaction to bud? I haven't posted on here in a while but here goes... One of my old friends from where I used to live is visiting me for the month and we've been smoking. He's not an experienced smoker or anything and HAS been high before. However, we've smoked several times since he's been here, and he's convinced that he hasn't been high any of those times. It's not the bud we're smoking because we've smoked two different strains on separate occasions and I usually get pretty cheeched and I'm experienced. Rating: 5
