Who smokes pot and claim to feel smarter while on it?
« on: August 14, 2011, 08:21:07 AM »
Apparently it is an inhibitor (non competitive) of acetylcholinerasterase, I find this very interesting. I still think it's a bad drug, makes you lazy and want to eat everything, but apparently it might actually help cognitive processes while you are on it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcholinesterase_inhibitor

Also if you smoke pot and want to quit, but are worried about losing that "edge', try not smoking for a while and taking Huperzine in the meantime. I would think the cognitive results will be very similar but Huperzine will not make you fat and lazy...

Haha that's how some insecticides work and you guys complain about chemicals used in crops.

The THC counters the cognitive stimulation, my man...short time memory drops heavily.

I realize this. I have a lot of friends who smoke pot, and like to study while high, they think it makes them smarter. I am sure quite a few persons here on getbig are the same way, hence my posting. I am simple offering to anyone who smokes pot to study or whatever, try replacing it with huperzine and see what happens. Huperzine is definitely going into my stack!

I've noticed this. Is it reversible?

Test makes you smarter, also I was taking ginkgo biloba 3 years ago and I really felt smarter, I haven't take it again because I really don't feel the need to do it, I'm doing fine without anything. However caffeine is a MUST for me.

Once the cannabinol is broken down the effect's gone.

Ginkgo was promising for a while, but the latest research didn't support the claims. Caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines work very well, however..

Meaning you'll bounce back 100% a few days after you quit? Is there no permanent damage?

Might look like someone ransacked your cookie drawer, but that's about it.

How safe is something that inhibits the acetylcholinerasterase? By coincidence, last night I was scanning an agronomic handbook. So you can see this is the way insects get killed and this is considered dangerous for humans too.

No permanent damage except a slightly higher chance to get schizophrenia, but only for those with the specific genetic makeup for that (a few % of the population). And it's pretty bad for your lungs..

With a vaporizer you still end up inhaling smoke in the end, correct?

Where can you get THC pills from? Don't think I can get any here in NZ as far as I know.

A vaporizer is smokeless and you need a script to get thc pills here in Canada. Don't know about NZ.

My ex had a script for thc pills, we were legally allowed to grow up to 3 plants as well.  She switched to thc pills after health concerns became an issue due to the smoke as well. My workplace's benefit plan paid for the pills at over $400.00 per refill.

Here's some vaporizers if you're interested.

Being a regular weed smoker, I always thought that Stephen Hawking was just really really stoned...Because inside his head he'd figured out the whole universe but on the outside he was drooling on his shirt.I know the feeling well.
