This synthetic thc is not the same molecule, at all. The one I know of, which was used in the early versions of spice, was a research chemical called JWHB. Incredibly dangerous substance, similar to DOX chemicals. This is not a forum to discuss such things, however, and the topic on hand should be redirected to it's original subject matter.
Personally, I don't like dabs. Simply too intense and they hurt my lungs too much. I've tried with multiple methods and wouldn't do it consistently day in and day out. I enjoy smoking flowers way too much. Sorry guys, but a lot of shatter and shit like that hits a little too close to the old habits than I would prefer. I like my stuff simple, not having to use torches or having elaborate electronic nails and odd looking rigs. Will take my standard pull stem bong over any of that any day of the week. AND I never have to take a tolerance break unless I decide I want to get real lit in a few days.
Also, THC is naturally occurring in the body. That's why there's a cut off on pre-employment drug tests for what is considered a "high" level of metabolites. I seriously doubt anyone would die from overdose of THC as almost everyone has had that moment in their early days where they smoke too much of the dankest dank they've seen and wind up puking. THC overdose sucks, but far from lethal. I commend the man that achieves death as a direct result of THC. Doubt it will ever happen though. Too benign of a substance.
One Love,
