This may be a tad off topic at this point, but thought I'd mention it anyway...

I've seen this show on TV last night. Called something like "Should I Get High?" (It's kinda like that Super-Size Me guy that ate McDonalds for a month to monitor the effects) Anyway, the lady hadn't smoked cannabis before, and went to Amsterdam to document her experiences, and the effects of smoking for a month straight on her psychological make-up. Would she go schizophrenic after one joint like the European media was saying?

Anyway, near the end of the show the subject is in a lab being injected with a pure THC. In another test, she is injected with a THC with cannibinoids. (I don't think they mentioned which cannibinoid(s).

In the first test with pure THC, she was freaking-out a tad and was getting paranoid and showed definate signs of unease.
In the second test, she was all giggly and playful...couldn't stop laughing. Simplistic, but was only an hour show.

Having smoked this shit daily for decades...maybe I'm crazy, but it makes sense that the physical effects of THC can be altered by dicking with the THC:CBN:CBD ratios. (if indeed these are the cannabinoids refered to in the show)

Perhaps different strains deal with the damaging UV rays at different speeds, and likely at different times during the grow. Depending on initial (baseline without interference) ratios to begin with, effects might or might not be 'kicked-up a notch' by using UV lighting. Perhaps some strains start-out degrading the CBD's earlier/later than other's. Perhaps some strains have less CBD to be degraded, to begin with. (I might be backwards on this CBD:CBN degradation thing)

Also, does every strain come with a different ratio of cannabinoids, or can we alter this through either light or chemistry...?

And then there's this: Cannabis and Cannabinoids

IDK...Guess it's time for morning coffee. :jointsmile:
