I have often found that there is an extremely thin line between the facts and myths about weed. I guess this has much to do with how any other myth or misconception is born. People hear things, perhaps only half truths, they then pass this information onto someone else (with a few added extras), and it isn’t long before it’s impossible to tell the difference between truth and pure myth.
This is the exact reason why I wanted to write this article today…I want to introduce you to the 3 biggest myths and 3 of the biggest facts about weed:-
Myths
1) Weed is known to cause permanent brain damage – Let’s get one thing straight, we know that a marijuana addiction can impair a person’s thought process and their judgement, but this in no way constitutes permanent brain damage. There have been numerous scientific studies carried out on marijuana and its effects, and we are now aware that taking large and potent quantities of weed will cause anxiety, paranoia and even temporary psychosis, but these are all short term problems.
I will openly admit that smoking weed can lead to you making extremely poor decisions, which can have a dramatically negative impact on your life, however, this is definitely not because of damage to your brain, but simply because you are too high to know any better.

2) Marijuana isn’t addictive – Once again, allow me to set the record straight – Marijuana Addiction is very real! Perhaps weed isn’t as highly addictive as many other drugs, but it is very easy to become psychologically dependent on pot. If you are simply an occasional cannabis smoker you should find cutting it out of your life fairly simple, however, the real problems begin when you smoke weed more frequently.
There are various marijuana withdrawal symptoms that many people never, ever experience, but I would hazard a guess that their marijuana consumption hasn’t been an everyday habit for many years. No matter what anyone tells you, there is such a thing as marijuana addiction.
3) Weed will not do me any harm – I’m sorry, but this is simply not true. I will cover more of the physical aspects you should be aware of below, but marijuana addiction can lead to some extremely suspect psychological practices. As I have mentioned, weed will impair your judgement and decision-making, and unfortunately this may lead to permanent problems.
A prime example of this may due to being under the influence of weed you decide to have unprotected sex. This in turn may lead to possible sexual diseases or a potential pregnancy. Now don’t get me wrong, an ill-informed decision like this can be made by anyone at anytime, although the chances are far higher if you’re not thinking straight.
Facts
1) There is a much higher risk of having a heart attack – It has been estimated that for up to an hour after you have smoked weed, you are 5 times more likely to have a heart attack. Unfortunately, this is due to the enhanced level of chemicals in your body, which in turn will have an effect on your blood pressure and indeed your heart.
2) There is a much higher risk of cancer – Marijuana has so many different chemicals, most of which I’m sure you’ve never heard of, and weed smoke is considered to be twice as potent as that of cigarettes. Therefore, you essentially are doubling the risk of cancer. Smoking marijuana may also lead to various breathing related illnesses and diseases, as it is known to destroy the lung tissues at a far faster rate.
3) Weed is the most used illegal drug in the world – I would think that this is simply because many people believe that marijuana is harmless. If you think about it there has never actually been one shred of evidence or scientific research that says that marijuana consumption is good for you. Weed will eventually have a negative impact on your heart, lungs, kidneys, in fact the vast majority of your bodily organs.

What Addictions Warrant Inpatient Drug Rehab?
Some addictive substances that call for inpatient drug treatment more than others. In general, outpatient treatment is a lesser option for drugs that are very addictive. For example, alcohol, opiates, and methamphetamine all exert a strong hold on the addict. The substances’ power can be so strong that making it through the first couple of days of withdrawal without medical assistance is next to impossible.

Because the government has always been so vocally against cannabis and the growth of marijuana seeds, quite a lot of myths and legends have sprung up around the drug to make it seem more dangerous. Hereâs some of the more memorable myths related to marijuana:
Marijuana is a Gateway Drug
What we have here is a lazy interpretation of statistics. This misnomer is based on the fact that cannabis is the most popular illegal drug around, and as such the people who have used the less popular, harder drugs are likely to have tried marijuana as well.
If youâre still in doubt about this one, consider this: since cannabis was partially legalised in Holland in the 1970s, usage of heroin and cocaine have dropped substantially. If cannabis were a gateway drug, then the legalisation of it would cause an increase in these harder drugs, not a drop!
Cannabis is a More Dangerous Drug than Tobacco
While itâs true that smoked cannabis contains around the same number of carcinogens as a similar amount of smoked tobacco, this is a pointless comparison because of the relative usage. While a heavy smoker may easily work their way through 10-20 cigarettes in a day (and often significantly more), itâs very rare to find anyone who smokes marijuana in quantities even approaching that.
A 1997 UCLA study backs this up further, and states that even prolonged heavy marijuana use causes no serious lung damage. Meat, salt and dairy products present a bigger cancer risk than the humble joint, and for those who are still worried remember that all cancer and respiratory risks can be sidestepped by taking cannabis in baked goods!
Cannabis Contains Over 400 Chemicals, Which Proves itâs Dangerous
This is a half truth â yes, cannabis can contain this many chemicals, but this is very much a scare number. Not all chemicals are deadly, and to put this into perspective coffee contains 1,500 chemicals, while rat poison contains just 30. The take home message of this? The number of chemicals in a product has no relation as to how dangerous it is!
The Slang Term â420â Comes From Police Codes
This is just plain wrong. 420 (pronounced âFour-Twentyâ) is not police radio code for anything, and is not related to penal code. Nor is it because of Hitlerâs birthday (April 4th), the date of the Columbine school shootings (this was terminology years before then) or based on the number of active chemicals in marijuana. The term actually comes from San Rafael High School in the 1970s, where some of the students would meet up at 4:20pm after class. The code was developed so they could talk openly about their plans without alerting their parents to their drug use!
Nowadays the code is so well known that this wonât work as a strategy. Some people use the term â420 friendlyâ to show their acceptance of marijuana use, and April 20th has become National Pot Smokerâs Day in homage to the students â who are now in their 50s.
Cannabis Damages the Brain/Reproductive System/Immune System
All of these claims have been levelled at cannabis on the back of some fairly shaky science. Letâs tackle these one by one:
The brain damage accusation was the result of an experiment by Dr Robert Heath from the late 1970s. It claims to demonstrate brain damage in rhesus monkeys as a consequence of marijuana. It was however reviewed by a distinguished panel of scientists in 1982 and was found to have severe weaknesses: the sample was too small (just four monkeys), it failed to control experimental bias and crucially misidentifying a normal monkey brain structure as damaged! Subsequent studies have shown no evidence of brain damage.
The claim that marijuana damages the reproductive system is based on two bits of research â one based on isolated tissue cells in petri dishes, and the other based on animal research. Both are invalid â the scientific community has stated that isolated cells cannot be compared to full human beings, and the animals in question were given near-lethal dosages of cannabinoids â far more than one would get from a ânormalâ dose. Further to this, the animals that didnât die in the testing returned to normal within 30 days. Suffice it to say, no studies of actual human populations have demonstrated any evidence of this!
The immune system myth has the same problems as the reproductive ones â animals were given close to lethal dosages of cannabinoids making comparisons invalid. In fact, a couple of studies undertaken in 1978 showed that cannabis and hashish may actually boost the immune system in some!
People Have Died as a Direct Consequence of Cannabis Abuse
Not true. Scientists have carried out experiments on animals, and the results show you would need an extraordinarily high dosage of cannabis to be lethal. In fact, the amount of cannabinoids required to get a person stoned relative to the amount needed to kill is around 1:40,000. To put this into everyday sense, you would need to consume 40,000 times as much cannabis as would get you stoned to have a lethal dosage.
Letâs put this into further into perspective. Alcoholâs relative intoxication to death ratio is between 1:4 and 1:10. No wonder alcohol is responsible for the deaths of more than 5,000 people every year.
Cannabis is More Potent Today Than in the Past
This is a common myth based on bad data. The researchers who made these claims measured the THC content of marijuana seized in the early 70s, but fail to take into account the poor storage of the samples in question, which will have lead to a decline in its potency before any tests could be undertaken. Independent assessments on unseized street cannabis from the 1970s shows the potency is roughly the same as it has ever been.
These are far from the only myths around cannabis, and the drug is sure to attract more in the future. Remember, if it sounds dubious then look up the facts yourself. The old adage of âdonât believe everything you readâ should apply doubly when dealing with facts about cannabis and marijuana seeds.

Who Can Sell Medical Marijuana?
Medical marijuana is now legal in fourteen US states and each one of these states has its own regime for distribution. If you want to start selling medical marijuana seeds in your own headshop or pharmacy you’ll still need to abide by the state rules. It is still a federal offence to sell or buy marijuana in the US so make sure all the correct protocols are in place, and only sell to approved patients whatever state you happen to be in.

Cannabis Damages the Brain/Reproductive System/Immune System
All of these claims have been levelled at cannabis on the back of some fairly shaky science. Letâs tackle these one by one:
The brain damage accusation was the result of an experiment by Dr Robert Heath from the late 1970s. It claims to demonstrate brain damage in rhesus monkeys as a consequence of marijuana. It was however reviewed by a distinguished panel of scientists in 1982 and was found to have severe weaknesses: the sample was too small (just four monkeys), it failed to control experimental bias and crucially misidentifying a normal monkey brain structure as damaged! Subsequent studies have shown no evidence of brain damage.
The claim that marijuana damages the reproductive system is based on two bits of research â one based on isolated tissue cells in petri dishes, and the other based on animal research. Both are invalid â the scientific community has stated that isolated cells cannot be compared to full human beings, and the animals in question were given near-lethal dosages of cannabinoids â far more than one would get from a ânormalâ dose. Further to this, the animals that didnât die in the testing returned to normal within 30 days. Suffice it to say, no studies of actual human populations have demonstrated any evidence of this!
The immune system myth has the same problems as the reproductive ones â animals were given close to lethal dosages of cannabinoids making comparisons invalid. In fact, a couple of studies undertaken in 1978 showed that cannabis and hashish may actually boost the immune system in some!
People Have Died as a Direct Consequence of Cannabis Abuse
Not true. Scientists have carried out experiments on animals, and the results show you would need an extraordinarily high dosage of cannabis to be lethal. In fact, the amount of cannabinoids required to get a person stoned relative to the amount needed to kill is around 1:40,000. To put this into everyday sense, you would need to consume 40,000 times as much cannabis as would get you stoned to have a lethal dosage.
Letâs put this into further into perspective. Alcoholâs relative intoxication to death ratio is between 1:4 and 1:10. No wonder alcohol is responsible for the deaths of more than 5,000 people every year.
Cannabis is More Potent Today Than in the Past
This is a common myth based on bad data. The researchers who made these claims measured the THC content of marijuana seized in the early 70s, but fail to take into account the poor storage of the samples in question, which will have lead to a decline in its potency before any tests could be undertaken. Independent assessments on unseized street cannabis from the 1970s shows the potency is roughly the same as it has ever been.
These are far from the only myths around cannabis, and the drug is sure to attract more in the future. Remember, if it sounds dubious then look up the facts yourself. The old adage of âdonât believe everything you readâ should apply doubly when dealing with facts about cannabis and marijuana seeds.

Because the government has always been so vocally against cannabis and the growth of marijuana seeds, quite a lot of myths and legends have sprung up around the drug to make it seem more dangerous. Hereâs some of the more memorable myths related to marijuana:
Marijuana is a Gateway Drug
What we have here is a lazy interpretation of statistics. This misnomer is based on the fact that cannabis is the most popular illegal drug around, and as such the people who have used the less popular, harder drugs are likely to have tried marijuana as well.
If youâre still in doubt about this one, consider this: since cannabis was partially legalised in Holland in the 1970s, usage of heroin and cocaine have dropped substantially. If cannabis were a gateway drug, then the legalisation of it would cause an increase in these harder drugs, not a drop!
Cannabis is a More Dangerous Drug than Tobacco
While itâs true that smoked cannabis contains around the same number of carcinogens as a similar amount of smoked tobacco, this is a pointless comparison because of the relative usage. While a heavy smoker may easily work their way through 10-20 cigarettes in a day (and often significantly more), itâs very rare to find anyone who smokes marijuana in quantities even approaching that.
A 1997 UCLA study backs this up further, and states that even prolonged heavy marijuana use causes no serious lung damage. Meat, salt and dairy products present a bigger cancer risk than the humble joint, and for those who are still worried remember that all cancer and respiratory risks can be sidestepped by taking cannabis in baked goods!
Cannabis Contains Over 400 Chemicals, Which Proves itâs Dangerous
This is a half truth â yes, cannabis can contain this many chemicals, but this is very much a scare number. Not all chemicals are deadly, and to put this into perspective coffee contains 1,500 chemicals, while rat poison contains just 30. The take home message of this? The number of chemicals in a product has no relation as to how dangerous it is!
The Slang Term â420â Comes From Police Codes
This is just plain wrong. 420 (pronounced âFour-Twentyâ) is not police radio code for anything, and is not related to penal code. Nor is it because of Hitlerâs birthday (April 4th), the date of the Columbine school shootings (this was terminology years before then) or based on the number of active chemicals in marijuana. The term actually comes from San Rafael High School in the 1970s, where some of the students would meet up at 4:20pm after class. The code was developed so they could talk openly about their plans without alerting their parents to their drug use!
Nowadays the code is so well known that this wonât work as a strategy. Some people use the term â420 friendlyâ to show their acceptance of marijuana use, and April 20th has become National Pot Smokerâs Day in homage to the students â who are now in their 50s.
Cannabis Damages the Brain/Reproductive System/Immune System
All of these claims have been levelled at cannabis on the back of some fairly shaky science. Letâs tackle these one by one:
The brain damage accusation was the result of an experiment by Dr Robert Heath from the late 1970s. It claims to demonstrate brain damage in rhesus monkeys as a consequence of marijuana. It was however reviewed by a distinguished panel of scientists in 1982 and was found to have severe weaknesses: the sample was too small (just four monkeys), it failed to control experimental bias and crucially misidentifying a normal monkey brain structure as damaged! Subsequent studies have shown no evidence of brain damage.
The claim that marijuana damages the reproductive system is based on two bits of research â one based on isolated tissue cells in petri dishes, and the other based on animal research. Both are invalid â the scientific community has stated that isolated cells cannot be compared to full human beings, and the animals in question were given near-lethal dosages of cannabinoids â far more than one would get from a ânormalâ dose. Further to this, the animals that didnât die in the testing returned to normal within 30 days. Suffice it to say, no studies of actual human populations have demonstrated any evidence of this!
The immune system myth has the same problems as the reproductive ones â animals were given close to lethal dosages of cannabinoids making comparisons invalid. In fact, a couple of studies undertaken in 1978 showed that cannabis and hashish may actually boost the immune system in some!
People Have Died as a Direct Consequence of Cannabis Abuse
Not true. Scientists have carried out experiments on animals, and the results show you would need an extraordinarily high dosage of cannabis to be lethal. In fact, the amount of cannabinoids required to get a person stoned relative to the amount needed to kill is around 1:40,000. To put this into everyday sense, you would need to consume 40,000 times as much cannabis as would get you stoned to have a lethal dosage.
Letâs put this into further into perspective. Alcoholâs relative intoxication to death ratio is between 1:4 and 1:10. No wonder alcohol is responsible for the deaths of more than 5,000 people every year.
Cannabis is More Potent Today Than in the Past
This is a common myth based on bad data. The researchers who made these claims measured the THC content of marijuana seized in the early 70s, but fail to take into account the poor storage of the samples in question, which will have lead to a decline in its potency before any tests could be undertaken. Independent assessments on unseized street cannabis from the 1970s shows the potency is roughly the same as it has ever been.
These are far from the only myths around cannabis, and the drug is sure to attract more in the future. Remember, if it sounds dubious then look up the facts yourself. The old adage of âdonât believe everything you readâ should apply doubly when dealing with facts about cannabis and marijuana seeds.

Ancient Chinese Healing with Marijuana Seeds
Months before Jade Goody’s death from cancer, the tabloids pictured her tucking into a bag of marijuana seeds. Jade had heard that they had been used in ancient Chinese medicine as a cure for cancer and feeling that she had nothing to lose, decided to try munching hemp seeds in between her chemotherapy sessions. It’s not just cancer that marijuana seeds have been known to cure. All the ailments below can be cured with hemp seeds and whilst most parts of the hemp flower have been used in medicine

Alternative Uses for Marijuana Seeds
When it comes to innovation, pot smokers can be right up there with Alexander Graham Bell after an evening on the weed. It’s only a short step from bulldust to brilliance and many a great invention can evolve out of a hallucinogenic revelation. So, apart from the obvious, what alternative uses do you think a room full of chilled-out pot heads would come up with for their marijuana seeds?

Who Can Sell Medical Marijuana?
Medical marijuana is now legal in fourteen US states and each one of these states has its own regime for distribution. If you want to start selling medical marijuana seeds in your own headshop or pharmacy you’ll still need to abide by the state rules. It is still a federal offence to sell or buy marijuana in the US so make sure all the correct protocols are in place, and only sell to approved patients whatever state you happen to be in.

The effectiveness of marijuana as a medical drug has been a much-debated topic, and the prescriptive use of cannabis seeds is becoming increasingly popular. Marijuana as a medicine forms a strong argument in favour of making marijuana legal, particularly since recent research has shown its possible effectiveness in pandemic diseases such as swine flu.

What is JWH018? Myths and Facts

The proliferation of various articles and not-so-credible researches in the Internet about JWH-018 is causing uncertainty among herbal blend users and other concerned citizens. For those who are not knowledgeable, they would often confuse facts from myths and vice versa. Some researchers would claim that certain amounts of JWH018 found in incensed drugs cause some adverse effects that can harm the human body. Other reports say that it is not entirely dangerous resulting to a more confusing and vague information about JWH018.
Brief History of JWH018
Dr. John W. Huffman, a research professor at Clemson University, first synthesized JWH018 thus taking its name from his initials. It was first used as a tool to study the cannabinoid system. It was intentionally formed to recreate the effects of Marijuana (Cannabis Sativa L). Its appearance is usually in white powder or solid form and produces effects similar to smoking Cannabis such as: sleepiness, relaxation, decrease blood pressure, hallucinations and delusions to name a few.
Myths VS Facts
Here are some common misconceptions about JWH018 and quick facts to bust them.
Myth: “If you see a dark brown JHW018, it is a fake.”
Fact: A dark brown-colored JWH018 is in truth its raw form.
JWH018 is most commonly distributed in a white solid or powder form in the market leading to misunderstanding that any other color is labeled as a fake, which is actually not true. It appears darker because it is denser. However, after processing, it changes its color drastically. Some evidences actually show that its flakes and crystallized forms appear in lighter colors after grinding, which originally came from a dark solid JWH018. In addition, a pure white JWH018 turns to yellow when highly oxidized.
Myth: “JWH018 is a synthetic THC.”
Fact: It is not a synthetic THC, but actually an amino alkylindole.
JWH018 is a part of the amino alkylindole family. However, it has a binding affinity towards CB1 and CB2 receptors the same as how THC or other cannabinoids work. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is responsible for the psychoactive effects in the brain and body, is the main active substance found in Marijuana. Because JWH018’s pharmacologic mechanism is quite similar to THC, it produces the same effects as smoking Cannabis. Aside from that, its structure is distinct and in no way similar to the structure of THC or any cannabinoid you know.
Myth: “JWH-018 can be medically used for therapeutic effect.”
Fact: It is not licensed for medical applications.
Although some users claim that they experience analgesic effects from taking the substance, no clinical studies can prove otherwise. It is not right to claim that JWH018 has therapeutic use when there are no scientific results to back it.
Myth: “JWH018 has no potential for abuse.”
Fact: It actually has mild to high tolerance acquisition.
In reality, users of JWH018 exhibit rapid decrease in response to the drug after repeated doses in just 3 days. In effect, a larger dose is needed to achieve the same effect when taken the first time. If this continues, a built drug tolerance may result to uncontrollable increase in amounts of JWH018 required to get high. This may eventually lead to drug abuse and overdose.
Myth: “Any form of drug tests cannot detect JWH018.”
Fact: It can still be detected by drug test if specifically identified.
Many of the users have claimed that JWH018 was not found when they took drug tests. This is because drug tests seek THC or cannabinoid metabolites and antibodies to test positive. Since JWH018 has a different chemical structure as the substances mentioned, it would indeed give a negative result. However, if drug-testing authorities know exactly the specific structure of JWH018, then it is still possible to detect it. The issue also lies on when is the user tested. This is because JWH018 has a half-life of 2 hours before leaving the body.
The web is a good marketing outlet. So, it is not surprising to come across some false statements and claims in order to sell. Remember, myths do not have proofs while facts always have basis and evidences. In order to distinguish between myths and facts, validating and confirming the credibility of your resources comes first. There are lot of information available, but be sure to believe only the truth and nothing else.

I really hope that this max powers guy is kidding when he says that we may come to find out that this poison could potentially cure a disease. the fact of the matter is that this stuff is a chemical, a poison, and should not be openly manufactured and distributed. i got introduced to it while on vacation in texas. it was called serenity now, and i was told that it was just like marijuana, only that it was legal. so of course, i was on board and i tried it out. i was both surprised and pleased with the result at the time. so much in fact that i was considering going into business with the stuff and selling it myself to make some extra money on the side. when i returned home, i discovered that other people were talking about it, and i found that a local store sold it, in many different brand names. since i couldnt find the serenity now at the store, i decided to go with what the clerk told me was the best seller, which was call krypton, and can be found at funkygreenstuff.com. i had an eighth to burn through so i decided to share with friends that had yet to try the product, and well, everyone seemed to like it. that was until i had my, what i like to call, near death experience. a girl that i worked with was asking me about it and i told her that i would let her try it out. we smoked half a bowl of the stuff, somthing like 2 hits each. everything seemed fine, until about a half hour later on the way back home. i began to feel a mild burning/tingling sensation in the back of my head. i figured it wasnt really anything to be concerned about, that was until i started to loose my vision and hearing. i went completly blind and deaf for about 5 minutes, and was begining to panic. thank god my girlfriend was there to comfort me. slowly, my vision and hearing returned to me, but almost immediatly afterward, the muscles in my legs, abs, and forearms began to tense up and tingle (i.e. when your hand falls asleep) and it was extremly painfull and frightening. ive never been hit with a tazer, but thats pretty much what i feel it could be compared to. since that day, i have stayed well away from it, and flushed what i had left down the toilet. i went from all about it, to condeming it in the course of a week. this stuff is indeed poison, and should be taken off the market immediatly. i would hate to turn on the news, and hear reports of kids going blind and deaf, or even worse, falling over dead because they wanted to catch a lil buzz of some “legal weed”. lets just allow marijuana to be legal, so that people arent forced to suffer with these not so safe, legal alternatives. you want your case study as to why this stuff should be banned, i am (fortunatly) living proof that this stuff is no good, and god only knows if there will be any long term reprecusions. viva la marijuana!

The fact is, more widespread testing is needed. Why ban the stuff when scientists have not even found if the stuff is good or bad at this point. Ya, make a worldwide ban on jwh, then some smarter, more intelligent underground scientist will find out it actually fights cancer or some other diseases. It hasn’t done nearly the damage as alcohol, yet people are not demanding alcohol to be removed. Everybody just chill, let the the man do the testing and lets just see what the results on jwh are before acting like children and banning everything.
I like the stuff. I smoke it regularly. I also get drug tested, so for the time being, its a good match for me. If it becomes illegal, ill stop. Until then, get off my back. Anyone feel the same as me? Unknown health risks, yes we all know about the unknown heath risks, you’re saying nothing new. I make my own jwh blends and they turn out great. Im not rich, and making my own saves me a lot of money. If you’re in my boat, check this out http://videogalaxy.info

What is JWH018? Myths and Facts

The proliferation of various articles and not-so-credible researches in the Internet about JWH-018 is causing uncertainty among herbal blend users and other concerned citizens. For those who are not knowledgeable, they would often confuse facts from myths and vice versa. Some researchers would claim that certain amounts of JWH018 found in incensed drugs cause some adverse effects that can harm the human body. Other reports say that it is not entirely dangerous resulting to a more confusing and vague information about JWH018.
Brief History of JWH018
Dr. John W. Huffman, a research professor at Clemson University, first synthesized JWH018 thus taking its name from his initials. It was first used as a tool to study the cannabinoid system. It was intentionally formed to recreate the effects of Marijuana (Cannabis Sativa L). Its appearance is usually in white powder or solid form and produces effects similar to smoking Cannabis such as: sleepiness, relaxation, decrease blood pressure, hallucinations and delusions to name a few.
Myths VS Facts
Here are some common misconceptions about JWH018 and quick facts to bust them.
Myth: “If you see a dark brown JHW018, it is a fake.”
Fact: A dark brown-colored JWH018 is in truth its raw form.
JWH018 is most commonly distributed in a white solid or powder form in the market leading to misunderstanding that any other color is labeled as a fake, which is actually not true. It appears darker because it is denser. However, after processing, it changes its color drastically. Some evidences actually show that its flakes and crystallized forms appear in lighter colors after grinding, which originally came from a dark solid JWH018. In addition, a pure white JWH018 turns to yellow when highly oxidized.
Myth: “JWH018 is a synthetic THC.”
Fact: It is not a synthetic THC, but actually an amino alkylindole.
JWH018 is a part of the amino alkylindole family. However, it has a binding affinity towards CB1 and CB2 receptors the same as how THC or other cannabinoids work. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is responsible for the psychoactive effects in the brain and body, is the main active substance found in Marijuana. Because JWH018’s pharmacologic mechanism is quite similar to THC, it produces the same effects as smoking Cannabis. Aside from that, its structure is distinct and in no way similar to the structure of THC or any cannabinoid you know.
Myth: “JWH-018 can be medically used for therapeutic effect.”
Fact: It is not licensed for medical applications.
Although some users claim that they experience analgesic effects from taking the substance, no clinical studies can prove otherwise. It is not right to claim that JWH018 has therapeutic use when there are no scientific results to back it.
Myth: “JWH018 has no potential for abuse.”
Fact: It actually has mild to high tolerance acquisition.
In reality, users of JWH018 exhibit rapid decrease in response to the drug after repeated doses in just 3 days. In effect, a larger dose is needed to achieve the same effect when taken the first time. If this continues, a built drug tolerance may result to uncontrollable increase in amounts of JWH018 required to get high. This may eventually lead to drug abuse and overdose.
Myth: “Any form of drug tests cannot detect JWH018.”
Fact: It can still be detected by drug test if specifically identified.
Many of the users have claimed that JWH018 was not found when they took drug tests. This is because drug tests seek THC or cannabinoid metabolites and antibodies to test positive. Since JWH018 has a different chemical structure as the substances mentioned, it would indeed give a negative result. However, if drug-testing authorities know exactly the specific structure of JWH018, then it is still possible to detect it. The issue also lies on when is the user tested. This is because JWH018 has a half-life of 2 hours before leaving the body.
The web is a good marketing outlet. So, it is not surprising to come across some false statements and claims in order to sell. Remember, myths do not have proofs while facts always have basis and evidences. In order to distinguish between myths and facts, validating and confirming the credibility of your resources comes first. There are lot of information available, but be sure to believe only the truth and nothing else.

I really hope that this max powers guy is kidding when he says that we may come to find out that this poison could potentially cure a disease. the fact of the matter is that this stuff is a chemical, a poison, and should not be openly manufactured and distributed. i got introduced to it while on vacation in texas. it was called serenity now, and i was told that it was just like marijuana, only that it was legal. so of course, i was on board and i tried it out. i was both surprised and pleased with the result at the time. so much in fact that i was considering going into business with the stuff and selling it myself to make some extra money on the side. when i returned home, i discovered that other people were talking about it, and i found that a local store sold it, in many different brand names. since i couldnt find the serenity now at the store, i decided to go with what the clerk told me was the best seller, which was call krypton, and can be found at funkygreenstuff.com. i had an eighth to burn through so i decided to share with friends that had yet to try the product, and well, everyone seemed to like it. that was until i had my, what i like to call, near death experience. a girl that i worked with was asking me about it and i told her that i would let her try it out. we smoked half a bowl of the stuff, somthing like 2 hits each. everything seemed fine, until about a half hour later on the way back home. i began to feel a mild burning/tingling sensation in the back of my head. i figured it wasnt really anything to be concerned about, that was until i started to loose my vision and hearing. i went completly blind and deaf for about 5 minutes, and was begining to panic. thank god my girlfriend was there to comfort me. slowly, my vision and hearing returned to me, but almost immediatly afterward, the muscles in my legs, abs, and forearms began to tense up and tingle (i.e. when your hand falls asleep) and it was extremly painfull and frightening. ive never been hit with a tazer, but thats pretty much what i feel it could be compared to. since that day, i have stayed well away from it, and flushed what i had left down the toilet. i went from all about it, to condeming it in the course of a week. this stuff is indeed poison, and should be taken off the market immediatly. i would hate to turn on the news, and hear reports of kids going blind and deaf, or even worse, falling over dead because they wanted to catch a lil buzz of some “legal weed”. lets just allow marijuana to be legal, so that people arent forced to suffer with these not so safe, legal alternatives. you want your case study as to why this stuff should be banned, i am (fortunatly) living proof that this stuff is no good, and god only knows if there will be any long term reprecusions. viva la marijuana!

The fact is, more widespread testing is needed. Why ban the stuff when scientists have not even found if the stuff is good or bad at this point. Ya, make a worldwide ban on jwh, then some smarter, more intelligent underground scientist will find out it actually fights cancer or some other diseases. It hasn’t done nearly the damage as alcohol, yet people are not demanding alcohol to be removed. Everybody just chill, let the the man do the testing and lets just see what the results on jwh are before acting like children and banning everything.
I like the stuff. I smoke it regularly. I also get drug tested, so for the time being, its a good match for me. If it becomes illegal, ill stop. Until then, get off my back. Anyone feel the same as me? Unknown health risks, yes we all know about the unknown heath risks, you’re saying nothing new. I make my own jwh blends and they turn out great. Im not rich, and making my own saves me a lot of money. If you’re in my boat, check this out http://videogalaxy.info

Myth 1: Smoking is cool and sexy
In fact, smoking causes your teeth yellow, your face skin wrinkles, and make your clothes smell of cigarette smoke. Effect of cigarette smoking on the scent of your breath is also no need to ask again. On a poll, 86% of teen says they prefer to date nonsmokers. Moreover, research shows that men with high blood pressure who smoke are much more likely to experience impotence than non-smokers. Not at all cool, right?
Myth 2: If I only smoke a cigarette filter, menthol, light, mild, or slim, I’m safe. Most smokers are shocked when they find out the composition of the material in a cigarette. Debra Pardue, a therapist in America whose expertise has been recognized, said that nicotine does not cause lung cancer, but the nicotine which causes addiction. “Other additional materials contained in cigarettes that cause cancer,” he said.
From there are many smokers who switch to filter cigarettes, menthol, light, mild, or slim. In fact, smokers who only smoke a few cigarettes per day or smoked low tar cigarettes have a tendency to add “portion” cigarette and day to day because they feel deprived of nicotine and need to fill the taste is addictive. Cigarette filters though still contain nicotine and other harmful chemical compounds, which enter into your body when inhaled. In fact, according to the National Cancer Institute in America, people who smoke low-tar cigarettes or filter cigarettes would inhale more deeply, so that more carbon monoxide and other harmful compounds that go into their lungs.
Myth 3: If I only smoke a few cigarettes a day, was safe. Even if you only smoke one cigarette per day, smoking is still not safe. After inhaling, you will feel the adrenaline flow which can increase blood pressure heart rate and your breathing rate. In addition, cigarette contains more than 4,000 other harmful chemicals that enter your body when you smoke, and the effect is bad for your health.
Myth 4: chewed tobacco is safe to do because you do not inhale the smoke.
Many people misunderstand the dangers of chewing tobacco. They do not understand that by chewing tobacco you become more susceptible to oral cancer, which affects Iidah, lips, cheeks, and gums. Moreover, a study published in the American Journal of Public Health and involved 6300 users of smokeless tobacco, reported that chewing tobacco users was twice Iebih risk of dying from heart disease than those who do not use it.
Myth 5: Smoking or chewing tobacco can lower blood pressure. No one knows when this myth started, but some people believe that smoking or chewing tobacco helps them relax by lowering blood pressure. This myth is not supported by scientific research at all! A group of researchers in Stockholm, Sweden studied 135 healthy people who have never been diagnosed with high blood pressure. But after checking their blood pressure, researchers found that those who smoke or chew tobacco have blood pressure higher than those who do not do it.
