And to answer your question about marijuanas effect on the pineal gland. I have noticed that when i quit smoking marry j , the next three days I have the craziest dreams, My friends have told me similar stories.
Makes me think that it could have an effect on opening your pineal gland during wake hours which causes you to not dream as much. But when you quit MJ your pineal gland keeps producing the extra '___' and causes intense dreams. Just guessing here I have no idea if this actually happens.
Also, we all know what happens when you over dose on Marry J. You fall asleep.
