sraeli scientists have cultivated a cannabis plant that doesn't get people stoned in a development that may help those smoking marijuana for medical purposes, a newspaper said on Wednesday.

According to the Maariv daily, the new cannabis looks, smells and even tastes the same, but does not induce any of the feelings normally associated with smoking marijuana that are brought on by the substance THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol.
"It has the same scent, shape and taste as the original plant -- it's all the same -- but the numbing sensation that users are accustomed to has disappeared," said Tzahi Klein, head of development at Tikkun Olam, the firm that developed the species.
"Many of our patients who tried the new plant come back to us and say: 'You tricked me,'" because they assumed they had been given a placebo, he said.
According to Maariv, Tikkun Olam sought to neutralise the effect of the THC and to increase the effect of another substance called CBD, or cannabidiol, which has been shown to help diabetics and to ease various psychiatric disorders.
Not only does it leave users stone-cold sober, it also doesn't induce the munchies, the hunger pangs that the drug's smokers generally suffer.
Despite the innovation, it is unlikely to have any impact on Israeli law, which outlaws the use of marijuana as illegal except for medical purposes.
According to figures published earlier this year by Sheba Medical Centre and the Israel Cancer Association, medical marijuana has been approved for use by about 6,000 Israelis suffering from various illnesses.

Low THC, high cannabanoid. Nothing new.

There was some brown shit around here that we thought was 2 or 3 year old outdoor Cali, but it must have been from Israel because it did not get you high either.

Scientists develop burger without the bun!

Consumers say "It's JUST LIKE a burger...but without the bun taste!"

Actually... it's more like "Scientists remove part of the medicinal value of cannabis and call it good!"

Stay Safe!

when will they learn

I don't think this will catch on anyways, I mean we all know they do a lot of stuff behind the scenes so who knows but I don't think anyone with half a brain who actually cares about the movement for Cannabis into a positive direction would purposely start bringing any genetics to the scene that smells, tastes, and looks like bud with great medicinal benefits, sold as medicine, but has no buzz what so ever, that could quite possibly be the most stupidest thing I've ever heard of in my entire life.

Nothing new. __________________ My 2k CM Christmas tree grow! https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=205077 When using data we can prove it, and it has been proven for many decades; it's just in the cannabis world people don't like to read anything other than lame and BS filled books from so-called cannabis gurus. but the fact is plants (C3) grow the most at night and very early morning (i.e. the greater cellular growth and repair). Thus, if we provide the same DLI (Daily Light Integral), i.e., the sum amount of photons within PAR range in a meter^2:in 18 hours as we do in 24 hours, the plants under 18 hours of light will grow faster than those under 24 hours of light. That is the point most people are misunderstanding, it's not about hours per day, it's about photons per day.
