You have likely noticed the small, sticky crystals that cover cannabis flowers. This is kief — also known as keef, dry sift, or pollen. So, what does kief do? Kief is made up of the resin glands of the cannabis plant. Kief, the glands that produce these substances, is starting to seem pretty crucial to the marijuana experience. Marijuana without kief still has cannabinoids, but not nearly as much. So, what do we do with it? Kief can be used to make a cannabis concentrate. Separating the kief crystals from the plant is a good way to maximise the effects of marijuana without inhaling as much plant matter.
One of these receptors, CB1, mainly resides in the nervous system. Another receptor, CB2, can be found in the spleen and on immune cells. THC, the part of weed that gets people stoned, binds tighter to CB1 receptors in the brain than it does to CB2 receptors in the immune system. However, cannabinoid science is a young field. There are still a ton of kinks to work out. He makes a product to treat cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome , a vomiting illness he said is caused by a toxic build-up of CBD in the body.
Prolonged CBD toxicity, he said, can lead to depression, liver failure, or suicidal thoughts , the same side effects seen with harder street drugs and opioids.
Studies show anandamide may share the same properties as THC, including the high. Adam Winstock, a psychiatrist and addiction specialist based in the UK, is also the founder of the Global Drug Survey. Because so little research has been done on cannabis, or crystallized weed in particular, Winstock urged folks to remain skeptical , regardless of whether the alleged snorting-weed high is placebo or real.

Badabing, badabang, badaboom. Richards himself had yet another brush with death last year when he had a fall on holiday in Fiji. It had been overplayed, he said; he was not climbing a coconut tree but sitting on a "shrub". But he did not play down the subsequent treatment.
That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain.
