Intravenous dope - A marijuana experiment

August 31, 2008 by Brian James 

The above video is a clip from BBC’s documentary Should I Smoke Dope? Through intravenous injection, this journalist is pumped with the two active ingredients found in marijuana: THC and Cannabidiol. The findings of the experiment show that when both are combined it produces a happy, pleasant and giggly high. THC alone produced psychosis inducing effects such as paranoia.

Should I Smoke Dope? documents BBC reporter Nicky Taylor’s experimental trip to the pot smokers’ European paradise; Amsterdam. The film details her 30 day cheeba toking investigation of the science, culture and legal aspects surrounding marijuana.

Watch the full documentary on YouTube (6 parts): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Thanks to Amy for the tip!

    Not surprising results really… Cannabis has a very natural balance of chemicals, which mimic chemicals naturally found in the brain.
    THC itself alone, is not necessarily a good thing, which is why those synthetic THC pills are so disliked by medical marijuana patients.

    These studies show a HUGE reason why Cannabis should be legalized and regulated for potency… To make sure it isn’t too strong, or to make sure all the chemicals are in proper balance… Both for patients, and recreational users.

    Legalization and regulation is the best way to keep people safe.

    If we continue to criminalize Marijuana, and force it into black markets, the potency will remain high, and possibly keep increasing! Which could make it even more unsafe than it needs to be.
    Prohibition of this drug, is counterproductive, and harmful to the individuals, and society in general.
