Can the human body produce THC?
Actually, the body DOES create its own form of THC. This chemical is called Anandamide (AEA). "...its structure was first described by Czech analytical chemist Lumír Ondřej Hanuš and American molecular pharmacologist William Anthony Devane in the Laboratory of Raphael Mechoulam, at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel in 1992." -Wikipedia The amount of anandamides we receive naturally is far below the amount that comes from consuming cannabis, however scientists have found no damage to the CB1 and CB2 receptors as a result of cannabis use. Anandamide is thought to be an endogenous ligand for vanilloid receptors, which controls pain and inflammation. Furthermore, because anandamide has been found to be involved in working memory, scientists are studying its roles in human behavior: eating, sleeping and pain relief.

Does the human body naturally produce cannabis?
Actually, the body DOES create its own form of THC. Not "cannabis", though, because cannabis is the plant itself. ;) This chemical is called Anandamide (AEA).

How much THC does your body naturally generate?
the human body does not produce THC. However, it produces an almost exact copy of it called Anandamide. although it isint nearly as potent as THC, it exists for memory and slight pain.
A simulant found in chocolate?
Caffeine is one stimulant that is found in chocolate. Other stimulants in chocolate are sugar, phenylethylamine, anandamide, and theobromine. Stimulants are found in all chocolates including white chocolate, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate.
How many neurotransmitter appear drug abuse on the brain?
There are seven major neurotransmitters that appear to account for the effects produced by the actions of drugs and alcohol abuse. These neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, endorphins, anandamide, glutamate, and GABA.
Can a person overdose on jwh-018?
I'm sorry but you are dead wrong. Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a partial agonist of Cannabinoid Receptors 1 and 2. These receptors are what create the anti-inflammatory, pain killer, etc.. effects of THC. JWH-018 on the other hand is a full agonist of both receptors. This means that when it binds to the receptors it creates a much stronger release of anandamide(the endogenous ligand, a derivative of arachidonic acid). The problem with this is that anandamide release creates vasoconstriction, which reduces the diameter of the blood vessels, which in turn increases blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate etc... and can lead to a multitude of terminal problems. YOU CAN OVERDOSE, BE CAREFUL.
What is the name of the stress reducing chemicals that are released by the brain during exercise.?
There are several theories as to what chemicals are responsible for the relaxing effect sometimes felt during exercise. Neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine may play a role, as may anandamide (which binds to cannabinoid receptors) and endorphins (which binds to opioid receptors).
Does your brain naturally produce THC?
No it does not. Your brain does not produce a weed related chemical..... Sorry EDIT: Although the above is correct to an extent, the brain does have natural cannabinoid receptors that have been discovered. These receptors respond to a natural chemical Anandamide (AEA). And don't worry, if there's anything to apologize for it's your lack of information on the subject.
Are there any drugs in chocolate?
Yes, many -- (here are the main ones) 1. Anandamide: an endogenous cannabinoid found in the brain. Anandamide is a neurotransmitter that targets the same brain structures as THC, the active ingredient in cannabis.2. Theobromine: a stimulant frequently confused with caffeine. Theobromine affects humans similarly to caffeine, but on a much smaller scale.3. Phenylethylamine: earned the nickname 'chocolate amphetamine.' High levels of this neurotransmitter help promote feelings of attraction, excitement, giddiness and apprehension. Phenylethylamine works by stimulating the brain's pleasure centres and reaches peak levels during orgasm. Chocolate has the highest concentration in any food of phenylethylamine, which is the chemical produced in the brain when a person is in love.& if its MILK CHOCOLATE, heres another:4. Casomorphins: peptides, i.e., protein fragments, derived from the digestion of milk protein. The distinguishing characteristic of casomorphins is that they have an opioid effect.
