In a groundbreaking 2003 experiment, scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology found that 50 minutes of hard running on a treadmill or riding a stationary bicycle significantly increased blood levels of endocannabinoid molecules in a group of college students. The endocannabinoid system was first mapped some years before that, when scientists set out to determine just how cannabis, a k a marijuana, acts upon the body. They found that a widespread group of receptors, clustered in the brain but also found elsewhere in the body, allow the active ingredient in marijuana to bind to the nervous system and set off reactions that reduce pain and anxiety and produce a floaty, free-form sense of well-being. Even more intriguing, the researchers found that with the right stimuli, the body creates its own cannabinoids (the endocannabinoids). These cannabinoids are composed of molecules known as lipids, which are small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier, so cannabinoids found in the blood after exercise could be affecting the brain.For those looking to get your haze on this has got to be the biggest no-brainer in the history of no-brainers. Should I jog 50 minutes or grab some couch and fire up a jay? It's not my thing mind you but if it were I would definately be on the jay side. One has you beating the piss out of your knees, sweating like Lawerence taylor at a young hooker convention and the other has you chillin with a bud gnashing on cheetoes. No brainer indeed. I respect the stoners game but that dreadlock shit has got to go. Keep your hair off my couch and hit your pits with a washrag every now and again. Peace out.
