Israelis develop 'highless' marijuana

Israeli researchers have developed a medicinal marijuana that can ease the symptoms of some ailments without making patients "high".

Cannabis has more than 60 constituents called cannabinoids. THC is perhaps the best known of those, less so for its medical benefits and more for its psychoactive properties that give people a "high" feeling.

But cannabis also contains Cannabidiol, or CBD, a substance that some researchers say has anti-inflammatory benefits. Unlike THC, it hardly binds to the brain's receptors and can therefore work without getting patients stoned.

As a person with Chron's and a marijuana advocate, this is good news for all the people who still fear the reefer.

I have decided to open up a non-nude strip joint. The non-strippers will still perform all the dance routines, except they will put on more clothes than what they start out with as the dance goes on. Non-alcoholic beverages will be served along with high-less weed that will be available in the green room. Unhappy ending massages are available in the VIP room. Non-hookers may also be seen loitering around the outside of the club. Instead of performing sexual favors, the non-hookers will provide you with hours of mindless conversation, for a fee of course.

Lol...about as worthless as non-alcoholic beer.

This is funny to some. But I know old ladies in their 90s... they won't let the Dr. tell them to do pot, even though their grandson can get medical grade stuff... why? Because they think it's evil, even though it can effectively treat their glaucoma.

What the Israelis have done is take out the stigma, isolate the effective drugs within cannabis that don't make you high. So, now, that way, patients who suffer can actually feel relief and get treatment from what really is the only thing that works for some people...

Kudos to the Israelis.

If they're in their 90s, they'll be dead soon anyway, so who cares. KEEP GROWING THAT GOOD STUFF.
