Plant Pot Vs Body Weed
Is Naturally Occurring Weed From “Within” The Human Body More Potent Than The Plant Smoke We Inhale?
What’s more powerful between the marijuana we smoke and the cannabinoids your body has naturally been producing since before you were a fetus?
What’s more powerful?
- Plant Marijuana
- Normal Body-Made Cannabinoids
If this is the first time you’re learning that your body makes its’ own marijuana WELCOME TO THE CLUB! It’s always better to know than not to know, but then again, how do you become aware that you didn’t know that you don’t know, if you’ve never been told? Perhaps there’s an element of luck in making an unknown discovery? Or maybe luck involves having a BURNING DESIRE that naturally triggers you into taking MASSIVE ACTION towards finding the truth on your own?
Since there are lots of different types of both plant and body weed molecules, we’re going to stay simple and only look at the most popularly known molecule THC. We’re going on a quest to discover if plant made THC is more powerful that the body’s natural equivalent to the THC molecule found in plants.
After simplifying the understanding we’re attempting to discover, we have to come to an agreement of the definition of what POWER actually is. Once we come to a common understanding about power we can then do our best to let the evidence speak for itself.
In order of appearance, this is how we’ll be understanding today’s information about cannabis:
- What does chemical power actually mean?
- What are the different types of cannabis (cannabinoids)?
- What does cannabis actually do to the body?
- Which type of cannabis is most powerful?
Before we get into the information, what do you think is the more powerful cannabinoid? Plant or body?
What Does Chemical Power Actually Mean?
Power can be defined in lot of many different ways, depending on how you’re going to use the definition. When we normally think about “having power” one way our minds go is in thinking about influential power, or some level of authoritative control over others. Similar to the way the military or the government has power over you.
Another type of power could be thought of in terms of transportation or fire arms. The more power your car has, the faster it goes. And the more power your gun has, the more accurately you can shot and hit your targets at longer distances. Or if you’re playing a video game, you can think of one more type of power as your MAGIC power. How much damage can your character take before going down and how much damage can your character dish out to other opponents?
When it comes to defining POWER at the molecular level and chemistry, power can only mean a few things. Chemistry tends to generally defines power as potency. Potency meaning how much ACTION can be triggered from smaller and smaller doses. The more ACTION that can be “triggered” from a smaller dose sets the groundwork for more power.
As we go along our journey, keep these definitions of power in mind. Are these “known” ideas about power appropriate as it relates to cannabis? Is measuring potency a proper way of measuring the power contained in cannabis?
Could there be another unit to measurement cannabis with that’s more appropriate than potency?
What Are The Different Types Of Cannabis (Cannabinoids)?
There are really only two “types” of cannabis that naturally occur, those found outside (exo) of the body and those found within the body (eno). When cannabis (cannabinoids) is already inside of your body, we call them ENDO-Cannabinoids and external they’re called EXO-Cannabinoids. Exo-Cannabinoids are the marijuana we find in plants called Phyto-Cannabinoids and Eno-Cannabinoids are found naturally occurring inside the human body.
Hidden 3rd Type Of Weed Invading Reality
In modern times we have to deal with a more IN YOUR FACE type of cannabis (cannabinoid) that is rapidly invading reality. The third type of cannabis is the synthetically produced versions of this molecule. Science only creates patentable drugs and these are the only drugs they’re legally allowed to talk about. The very definition of the word “cure” has been hijacked by the pharmaceutical industry to involve the act of taking a patented drug. It is against the law for a doctor to recommend a “cure” that doesn’t involve prescription drugs. They oddly can’t tell you about natural alternatives because of the control over them and because the “lure” of money is too enticing.
As effective as nature is at powerfully keeping you alive with quality, scientists are proactively keeping the plant illegal. While they maintain STRICT control over cannabis, they’re are proactively working on “brewing” patentable synthetic cannabinoids.
Why try to reproduce what nature already has in abundance? One word, MONEY! Science never has and never will be as “good” as nature. Science is and always will be more profitable than nature.
What are the three types of cannabis (cannabinoids)?
- Endo-Cannabinoids (Endo meaning internal body).
- Phyto-Cannabinoids (Marijuana we smoke from plants).
- Synthetic Cannabinoids (Lab molded chemicals).
What Does Cannabis Actually Do To The Body?
Prior to conception, the human body has several mechanisms that keeps the body balanced and in fine tuned working order. The system is responsible for maintaining “order” is called the ECS (EndoCannabinoid System). Metaphorically speaking, the ECS is tasked with “keeping the spinning ball delicately balanced on the tip of your finger.” As your body operates, it is the job of your natural body marijuana to keep things running normally.
Long story short, without getting technical, is that your ECS is designed to maintain balance in your body. A sort of “yin & yang” type of balance that keeps everything in proper order when the environment changes.
Which Type Of Cannabis Is Most Powerful?
Plant Pot, Body Weed Or Synthetic?
If we were to judge these 3 types of marijuana using the definition from chemistry, then I feel as though the answer to this question may be obvious.
Since humans create chemistry and we are using the definition chemistry give us to decide which is more powerful, the answer is synthetic marijuana is more powerful. The weed created in a lab by the hands of humans is the most potent, in terms of PUNCH per unit of dose. Back in 1988, when the first synthetic bits of weed were concocted in a lab, they created a “strain” of marijuana that was up to 800 times more “powerful” than THC found in plants. [3] How can that be a good thing? Is there benefit to creating this monstrously powerful pot? And the answer is, probably not.
There is an alternative definition to what chemistry claims power to mean. The unit of measurement I find most appropriate to label power is in the ability to keep you alive.
Another more appropriate definition of POWER involves LIFE. To understand power, we must first understand WHY we humans want power and what we’ll use it for. And the answer is, we want power because we ultimately want more LIFE, in quality and in longer quantity. We want to live for as long as reasonably achievable in as much comfort and quality as we can acquire.
TRUE power is the ability to CREATE more life and more quality while living it.
Synthetic man made marijuana “technically” packs a more POTENT PUNCH than both of its plant and body based counterpart. Lab created THC, in its chemical definition, is more “powerful.” However. If you are to ask how many people synthetic weed has killed, if the answer is higher than zero, it has LOST THE GAME!
Plant and body based marijuana are more “powerful” than synthetic if we were to judge power based on how it has made human life better and last longer.
Plant and body weed have NOT killed a single person due to consumption, whereas synthetic marijuana has been claiming lives since its creation.
To answer the question of the article. All three are powerful in their own definition.
- Synthetic is more potent because it causes more of a reaction with a lesser dose.
- Plant & body are more powerful because they haven’t killed anyone.
- Finally, the research say body weed (Anandamide) is “about” as potent as plant pot (THC). [1] Thus making plant pot the most “powerful.”
Chemistry Power: Synthetic marijuana wins because it’s more potent at a lesser dose.
Life Power: Plant pot & body weed win because synthetic marijuana kills people.
Overall Most Powerful: Plant pot wins because it is “chemically” more potent than the body weed and keeps everyone who consumes it ALIVE!!!
The MOST powerful type of weed is plant based cannabinoids!
