Ever wonder why scientists spend so much time & cash studying pot??
here's another....
Smoke weed; see in the dark!
We knew it gave people the munchies and made them giggle.
Now researchers claim to have found a new property in cannabis - it helps us see in the dark.
Scientists made their discovery after becoming intrigued by Moroccan fishermen who not only failed to lose their sense of direction after smoking
generous amounts of local kif, a mixture of cannabis and tobacco, but seemed to navigate better on dark nights.
Jamaican fishermen have reportedly shown a similar reaction, suggesting that there may be something medically useful in cannabis apart from the
pain-deadening properties already spotted by doctors treating cancer patients.
Equipped with a machine for measuring night vision, the researchers headed for the Rif valley (
), the centre of Morocco's flourishing cannabis
trade. "High-grade sifted cannabis was mixed with tobacco in a 2:1 ratio and smoked as kif by subjects employing a traditional sebsi pipe," the team
write in the latest Journal of Ethnopharmacology.
