What if Marijuana was Fake?

[Metasteel]

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.

i have had this theory too

until I got so high I couldn't walk

then I knew it was all too real

Then I would have to say it is one hell of a placebo effect.

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

All you'd have to do is give it to somebody in food who doesn't know it's weed, and observe the effects.

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.

There is a high with tobacco. It is a stimulant high. He could have been a newbie smoker and did not know the difference.

agreed, and by no means is the herb any placeabo, i know for a fact i couldn't have finished that grande meal from taco bell without it

Actually, tobacco gives me a WAY more powerfull high (I don't smoke, normally), sometimes so intense I can't stand up. Only lasts for about 4-5 minutes though.

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 ^_^.
