THC Analog

[Jack D Ripper]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP_55,940

CP 55,940, is a cannabinoid which mimics the effects of naturally occurring THC (the psychoactive compound found in marijuana). CP 55,940 was created by Pfizer in 1974 and was never marketed because of its highly psychoactive and toxic nature. It is currently used by scientists to study cannabinoid effects in biology. Some effects that have been noted are a greatly decreased rates of lever pressing in exposed mice, and a greater reaction to opiates in exposed mice. CP-55940 is 45 times more potent than Δ9-THC, and fully antagonized by rimonabant (SR141716A) (Life Sci 1996;58:1239-47; last update 010106). CP 55940 produces cannabis-like effects in humans at a dose of 0.25 - 1 milligram and could potentially be used as an alternative to medicinal marijuana. In the United States no law specifically controls CP 55,940, however under the Federal Analog Act it is likely considered illegal if intended for human consumption due to its chemical similarity to cannabinoids found in marijuana, a Schedule I drug.

This stuff is readily available from many research chemical supply websites. It usually ships from overseas, but it cant be smelled by dogs, and isnt explicitly illegal.

500 mg (500 - 2000 doses) costs about $400 on most sites. Anybody ever try this? Im considering ordering some...

with a dose that low, you better have a REALLY nice scale

Ill dissolve it into a solution I can measure out.

I hate to burst your bubble, Jack. But a substrate analog works to inhibit the enzymes that recognize the natural substrate(THC).

So by taking that garbage, you would be filling the active sites of the enzymes which would otherwise bind natural THC to chemically transform it to allow it to get you high.

When that analog binds, it inhibits the enzyme. So if you were to take that shite and smoke herb, you wouldn't get high.

Buy as much as you want, but don't expect to be getting high anymore.

This is much better than that shite...and cheaper too.

 

[Jack D Ripper]

can you cite that pseudoscience?

I dont think the analog will permanently inhibit any enzymes. Smoking right after taking the analog would be redundant anyway.

Are you saying Ill never come down, or that Ill never be able to get high again?

I was reading about this a while ago. According to people that have actually taken it:

"I found it to be some very weird stuff. It lasts about three times longer than pot, and it has a more sedating feeling to it. But, it makes a great potentiator for pot. Just a pinchie of weed when under the influence of CP55,940 will get several people very high."

Sounds like more of a body stone, I'd say buy some, it's worth a try.
Apparently it's soluble in ethanol, not water though. And they say it's better to vaporize it.

I wouldn't do it, but that's because my policy when it comes to drugs is no needles and nothing made in a lab/didn't grow naturally.

If you're up for it, however, it sounds kinda cool.
I wouldn't get the 500-2000 doses at first though. Sounds like a big investment if you decide you hate it.

I want a new drug,who wants synthetic reefer.Anything new you have to buy in bulk is suspect too I would think.Whatever happened to sample 10 paks?
