It's not a placebo effect. I would describe it thus: a powerful sense of well-being. It's not a high like the fry-headz and burn-outs get when they smoke it, as I said before it doesn't get all in your head and eyeballs, but it's an elation, a cut-off from pain, a clear high, if you will, whereas smoking dope is an obnoxious, foggy high.

Furthermore, there are juice recipes for raw cannabis that can get you "high" in the sense potheads mean it, and it is powerful and can even get the user paranoid and the whole bit, just like smoking it.

Raw is the way to go. Enjoy.
