So here recently ive been on papers for possesion and i considerd synthetic mj and i got to thinking.. Number one point is; Who is smart enough and can fund the researh to even mimic anything like marijuana? Who can market it leagally and for so long and then all of a sudden try to take it off the market. i ve check out the prices on this and i think people would love to see very potent marijuana at these prices. In my area the going price for this stuff is $35 for 3 grams out of a head shop.

Now im stuck with this questionin my head. Is the US government running trails on the pot smoking population to see the trends on taxing and regulation on marijuana. With that thought and that thought alone i will never try the stuff because i believe its being made by some big Pharmicutical Company.. I would like your opinion on this cause it seems pluasible to me

"Historically, laboratory synthesis of cannabinoids were often based on the structure of herbal cannabinoids, and a large number of analogs have been produced and tested, especially in a group led by Roger Adams as early as 1941 and later in a group led by Raphael Mechoulam."
Roger Adams (January 2, 1889 – July 6, 1971) was an American organic chemist. He is best-known for the eponymous Adams' catalyst, and his work did much to determine the composition of naturally occurring substances such as complex vegetable oils and plant alkaloids. As the Department Head of Chemistry at the University of Illinois from 1926 -1954, he also greatly influenced graduate education in America, taught over 250 Ph.D. students and postgraduate students, and served the U.S. as a scientist at the highest levels during World War I and World War II.

Raphael Mechoulam (Hebrew: רפאל משולם‎) (born 1930) is an Israeli professor of Medicinal Chemistry and Natural Products at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. Mechoulam is famous for his work in the isolation, structure elucidation and total synthesis of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main active principle of cannabis.

I don`t know where this puts your claim though. Seeing that the first synthetics were made in 1941 its a little unlikely it was planned all the way. You do have a certain point, but what about the other research chemicals going around on the net? What about these synthetic cannabinoids being able to be bought from China by the metric ton? Its doesn`t seem like a government controlled situation to be honest but they are turning a blind eye to it for some reason and thats where I`m assuming your basing all this on.

Its like an UFO theory :D

I've not heard good things about the spice chemicals or synthetic MJ. I've read some articles that say it's the herbs themselves that are sprayed with the synthetic that are bad others are saying that it's the spray itself. Pretty much everyone agrees that weed is safer than the synth stuff. They just made the synth stuff illegal down here, it's now harder to get than weed.

I smoked a fair amount of that stuff maybe 100 spliffs worth I estimate? Hasn`t done me any harm but I really don`t advise it to be an alternative to cannabis. I know the temptation to smoke it in the times of abscence but hell, its really not worth abusing it. If its around toke it up and don`t have too much of it, it won`t do you any harm but like I said, no abusing that shit.
