Aahh…the joys of banning brain function. This would also ban paracetemol and chocolate as far as I’m aware. Logic is everywhere throughout congress . Prepare for the new world order where parts of your brain are now banned..the ban on DMT was illogical enough seeing as it is also contained in the bodies of those who banned it but come on..

It's already illegal to own a brain, which is likely to be a significant boon to the sorts of politicians who sponsor such laws.

[...] US Government Bans A Specific Brain Function – if you take any substance that is a CB1 agonist (like, for example, TYLENOL) you can be arrested… we’ll see how well that works once the government discovers how many things that can bind with cannabis receptors in the human brain. until then, don’t expect things to get any better.

Yeah, as Neurohax says, it only bans CB1 agonists within certain chemical classes. A good thing too, because if it banned all CB1 agonists it would, quite literally, make it illegal to have a brain.

This is incorrect, it bans cannabinoid agonists in a few specific classes that share similar chemical structure. It does not ban all cannabinoids, that would make Echinacea illegal. But it is a horrible bill.

They forgot to add cycling and running to the Controlled Substances Act amendment. Might as well throw in a ban on aerobic exercise if they are targeting bans on brain function, since endocannabinoids (i.e. anandamide) give us a natural high. This endogenous cannabinoid, released after sustained aerobic activity, acts on the same CB1 receptor in the central nervous system.

So if passed all synthetic cannabinoids are Schedule 1 Except synthetic THC (in the form of Marinol), which is chemically the same as natural THC, which is of course schedule 1. Effectively saying ‘if you buy from Abbot Pharm, we will go easy on you.’
