Delta-9 THC Health Benefits
Marijuana grows and propagates differently from every other plant in the world. It determines its sex differently, it buds and flourishes, dies and decays, cures and burns a little differently than any other vegetable. The belated discovery of marijuana’s organic complexity was preceded by an ancient and rich history of its usage. Delta-9 THC was isolated in 1965. It's the THC that gets you high, of this nearly everyone agrees, and it also appears to be responsible for most of the other physical effects that follow marijuana ingestion. Weed lovers learned about this almost as soon as the government botanists isolated the stuff, so that nowadays an online industry exists to facilitate by means mechanical and agricultural the extraction of THC out of pot or the cultivation of high-THC strains of marijuana. In 1968, pure-THC studies started demonstrating the two most immediately conspicuous systemic effects of the drug: changes in the eyeballs and in the stomach. By mechanisms that remain a perfect mystery, pot dependably causes a visible reddening of the eye-whites by congesting the conjunctival lining at the edges of the eyelids, and also it works somewhere in the brain to settle the stomach and eliminate nausea.

Indica Strains in the 19th Century
First documented trip was in 1884. Dr. Frank Dudley Beane detailed every, physical and emotional, thought and feeling of being on the hallucinogen. He was researching marijuana Indica strains. Born in New Hampshire, Frank retired to Florida at an early age due to illness and tragically passed at the age of 42. His contribution to the study of the effects of marijuana is understood best through the descriptive process of his personal experimentation.

Driving Stoned Experiment
Uber changed the lives of stoners. As marijuana becomes more accepted as a lifestyle drug, so does driving stoned. The precedent for the driving stoned experiment was set in 1978 by Car and Driver . They staged the Great Carry Nation Memorial Drunk Off, which was an attempt to test objectively the effects of alcohol on driving ability. That test broke new journalistic ground. Real live people familiar to millions of readers, drank real booze, had their blood-alcohol levels checked on a breath tester, and then performed a simple slalom test. The results were dramatic. Not unexpected, but very dramatic, and the original drunk-off story has been one of the most frequently requested articles from the archives of Car and Driver. First forays into the world of scientific research on the subject of driving stoned quickly revealed some problems. The biggest problem would be quantifying the high. In other words, how high is high, and when is a driver there? With booze, a blow into a breath meter and the degree of drunkenness, as determined by law, flashes on an app you can purchase online. The amount of alcohol in the blood is instantly determined. Not so with marijuana. The amount of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the stuff in pot that makes you high, can only be determined by sophisticated blood tests, and even then there is no legal determination of what constitutes a “legally drunk” toker.

Peyote is the Original American Trip
Peyote, known botanically as Lophophora Williamaii, is the great American high. For the past almost 5,500 years, Native American tribes of the Plains such as the Navajo, Comanche, Sioux and Kiowa, have used the spineless, tufted, blue-green, button-shaped cactus as the centerpiece of enhancing their religious rituals. It is known for its psychoactive properties when ingested.
