Which means that high-terpene cannabis can be worthwhile to get high from. Not that you necessarily want to be high all the time, but once in a while.

Ah, sadly it doesn’t work that way for me. I guess for some people it does but not for me. I can either be abstinent or constantly high.

but it is fascinating

I've been trying Palmitoylethanolamide which is a studied alternative but it takes many weeks for it to start working as it has to build up in fat stores, can't say I feel anything from it yet after eight weeks

This explains a lot about that mouse who got a cookie and subsequently wanted a lot of other food
