    Um, I have been smoking weed a long ass time and have never heard of a THC bubble. Is that supposed to be like Acid flashbacks? What the fuck are you talking about?

    good job dude... I can't really identify with the "THC" bubble phenomenon though. Is it kinda like you get a feeling like you're high again for no apparent reason? I think I remember that, but I've been high for the past 5 years straight and can't really remember NOT being high. =)

    Anyways, keep up the good work.
