Scientists in Israel say they’ve taken the high out of marijuana, creating a strain that doesn’t leave you stoned and even stops the food-craving “munchies.”
The new cannabis could benefit medical patients without the side effects of feeling stoned, AFP reported, citing an article from Israeli newspaper Maariv Daily.
A team at Tikkun Olam, a company in Israel, worked to boost the levels of cannabidiol — the part of the plant used to ease the symptoms of cancer and other diseases — and neutralize the side effects of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. That’s the part that induces a calm, light-headed feeling.
“The numbing sensation that users are accustomed to has disappeared,” lead researcher Tzahi Klein told the paper.
Marijuana is illegal in Israel and the United States, where it is considered a Schedule 1 substance. It’s been approved for medical use in 17 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
The new strain looks, smells and tastes the same, but many patients given the marijuana thought they were using a placebo, Klein said.
“[They] come back to us and say: 'You tricked me.’”
