Smoked an l and doing some reading. I thought this was very cool
"In the words of Israeli researcher Raphael Mechoulam, the man who first isolated the structure of THC, 'Why do we have cannabinoid receptors?' Mechoulam's theory will resonate well with marijuana smokers in the United States. He observes that "Cannabis is used by man not for its actions on memory of movement or movement coordination, but for its actions on memory and emotions,' and asks, "Is it possible that the main task of cannabinoid receptors . . . (is) to modify our emotions, to serve as the links which transmit or transform or translate objective or subjective events into perceptions and emotions?" At a 1990 conference on cannabinoid research in Crete, Mechoulam concluded his remarks by saying, 'Let us hope, however, that through better understanding of cannabis chemistry in the brain, we may also approach the chemistry of emotions.'"

Everything would seem to indicate that cannabinoids are only beneficial to the body's internal operation, including brain functions. I enjoy how propagandists are continuing to fabricate the evils of marijuana and it's chemicals.
Gotta love American society.
