The Magic of Marijuana

'Obesity' pill shows promise

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This story isn't really about the magic of marijuana. It's just a spin-off. If it weren't for researchers taking note the fact that marijuana gives people the munchies, then they probably wouldn't have realized that blocking those receptors could have the opposite effect. None of this would have happened if people still completely thought of marijuana as a demon drug. It always has been and always will be a medicinal herb. The fact that the general culture (U.S. administration aside) is becoming more open to looking at the possibilities of manipulating the natural cannabinoid system is definitely a move in the right direction.
