There is no credible evidence to support the gateway theory. If there is, then milk is the biggest gateway drug ever, cause after you suckle your mother teet, you move on to everything else.

My whole point is the Gateway theory is total B.S. People are either proned to try things or they are not. To lay blame for people's own actions on a drug is ludicrous. It's like someone saying because they were drunk and they slept with someone, it shouldn't count because they were drunk. People need to take personal responsibility for their own actions and stop blaming drugs, alcohol, government, their employer, etc...

It is not a gateway drug but it is mostly a gateway environment. Because many dealers get greedy and deal hard stuff which they can push toward someone using pot or if they are true scumbags can spike it. The only 100% way to know is grow it yourself.

I sure hope your not talking about that 'K2' bullshit that all these kids are out here smoking.... that shit doesn't do anything good for anyone my friend.

the chemicals in the 'K2' can and do cause cancer.. I remember hearing some of those chemicals in my chemistry class, back in my high school days.

That shit is actually meant to be like an air-freshener.. not meant to be smoked.

So again, if that's what your talking about... I call complete bullshit on it.

peace.

Anything that is naturally good is altered by the system to be pantented and sold, distributed for the profit rather then for the healing. We are the deciding factor that can overturn the lies with what is proven truth. amen hah

I believe K2 is manufactured in China. Could be wrong. I would rather just smoke the real thing grown right here in America.

A Friend had some and said, "you have to try it, it's just like marijuana except it's not illegal." I said in that case I will stick to the real thing and not smoke man-added chemicals.

Hey!... I just talked to a friend that was over last night that had tried that synthetic marijuana and now he cannot get high from natural herb, i am thinking that it was engineered to block the cannabinoid receptors.. Any thoughts ?

All the recent research would seem to suggest that if you blocked all the cannabinoid receptors you'd probably die. Seems both endo- and phyto-cannabinoids have a massive effect on how the body regulates itself, with CB1 and CB2 receptors spread widely throughout the brain and body respectively. Cannabis is a truely systemic substance, and our bodies are designed to work well on and like it...the prohibitionists can say what they want, but I speak the truth!

So would you say this is psychological reaction? As he smoked marijuana before and was able to get high, but now after smoking the synthetic herb he is unable to feel the effects from marijuana.

It'd be unwise for me to say because I'm no doing the research myself,but my guess (pure speculation) would be the synthetic THC has such a low variety of individual types of cannabinoids (they can only synthesise or bother to maybe 3 out of several hundred) and is so concentrated that it probably put your friends tolerance to those specific chemicals sky high (no pun intended).

A month off smoking is what I would do to see,I do it occasionally and the first dutchie after that 3 weeks/month will be like your first ;) Tolerance builds up again quite quickly tho.

Its been longer then a month, maybe this is a unique case. I do not believe there is much testing done,do you think they conduct extensive tests prior to putting out a product? I am sure it is bare minimum.

I am about to make my second attempt at a cold turkey cut off of methadone using cannabis to try to ease the effects. The first time I tried several months ago I didn't plan it out well enough and ran out of canna butter 3 days in and couldn't bring my self to smoke the stuff as eating brownies was hard enough. I am trying to get my methadone clinic behind me to document my case but the don't seem impressed as they lose money every time some one stops taking their drugs.
