The prob with thc(& it’s metatabolites) is that it can be deposited in fat tissue and stays for a long time...daily “hits” build up a large store...there is evidence in rats that the stored drug can be released during exercise or starvation..
.so one may not be able to confine its effect just when one takes it in...if you have enuf stored you could be on perpetual low level “high”...please note...some thc & metab. May cross into brain and be stored in the fats of the brain
..double whammy

The growing body of related physiological knowledge is fascinating.
"The ECS is also involved in voluntary exercise[3] and may be related to the evolution of the runner's high in human beings and related aspects of motivation or reward for locomotor activity in other animals."
As someone who's enjoyed a life enriched by various "locomotor activities" (aka sports) - that doesn't surprise me at all.
But being proficient enough to invoke that response system via something like running, or rock-climbing, or hunting, or WORKING -- requires effort, training, discipline, and risk.
I think pot is a short-cut to the activation of that reward system - without the effort, OR the actual benefits of the associated requisite healthy lifestyle.
Reward without risk and effort - isn't that what "progressive" culture is all about; and isn't that the "entitlement" these "teachers"/BS-Artists really have in mind?
