just name the time, place, and general whereabouts


now...as far as the question goes...i personally would probably either pass out or just stop smoking and watch a movie or something. chemically, im not sure what all goes on (perhaps one of you biology buffs will enlighten us, or myself at least?) .

yeah mindraver put the question into the words that i should have said it in the first place, chemically, what goes on in the brain? is there any reason you WOULD or SHOULD or COULD pass out?? thanks for the replies though ill show this thread to my friend.

i think this is my 50th post..

peace

a person passes out when a person recieve's "to much" THC and the brain cannot handle it.

Far from medical science. There isn't even an explanation of how this happens in the mind. From my knowledge (this will not be scientific fact, but an educated guess, a look logicly at how this may or may not work)

When you get hit in the head, short of a cuncusion, your brain jumps slightly apart where the left and right meet. This causes you to pass out.

Alcohol floods the brain and poisions its function, it is a depressent so the first stage of death is nervous function reducing to the point of unconcience.

THC, on the otherhand, is neither stimulant nor a depressant. Since there is no LD50 (Lethal dose 50%) for Marijuana, it can be assumed that an unconcience state does not come as a result of a depression of brain activity. Indeed, marijuana's stimulant effect and depressant effects only go to a certain point.

THC bonds to several receptors in the brain. There is a finite amount of receptors in the brain, so a finite amount of THC can bond to the receptors. So there is a limit to how stoned you can get. Also since these receptors are natural seekers of a chemical chain on THC, it does not induce a narcotic (seditive) state. The spare THC spirals around the blood system untill a new receptor is free. Once the remnents of the THC have disbonded from the receptors, they then are able to be absorbed into the fat cells.

So since a finite amount of THC can bond to the receptors at any given point, after your personal (chemical) high has been obtained, more THC will just prolong this state.

Note that I did say chemical high. I believe that there is a finite limit to the amount of (as yet unknown) chemicals or reactions that can take place in the brain, due to a finite amount of receptors, but this far excludes the possibility of limitless "high" Because marijuana effects the brain so profoundly, and we know that expectation and environment can enhance a high, that more stimuli can lead to a more pleasurable high.

Translation-look at a bunch of wacky sh!t and you'll get really fuked up

...the end of that doobie would be pretty icky by the time you're done...

Now a really HUGE Hookah....and a nice clean tip to smoke out of...well, for the purpose of medical science I would reluctantly offer to do my part...no really I would
