7 really surprising health benefits from smoking cannabis

Image
Anti-drug activists think that a few puffs on a joint will turn you into a red-eyed, unemployed psychopath – probably for life. But is marijuana actually that bad for you? With several American states having decriminalised the herb for personal use, scientists have suddenly had the chance to see what cannabis actually does on a mass scale. And guess what? Cannabis actually has some VERY surprising health benefits.  Here’s a few. Smoking weed makes you thinner – or at least less likely to be obese You might not think it after you’ve watched a munchie-struck stoner devour an entire KFC family bucket in one go, but dope smokers are less likely to be obese. A study in the journal Obesity found that regular weed smokers are less likely to be obese than non-smokers. The researchers from Conference of Quebec University Health Centers looked at 700 adults aged 18-74 – and found that cannabis users tend to have low body mass index scores (often taken as a sign of go

A man accused of eating marijuana-infused candy he bought at a legal pot shop and then killing his wife has changed his plea to not guilty by reason of insanity. Richard Kirk, 49, is charged with first-degree murder after his wife, Kristine, 44, was shot dead in April 2014.

The shooting stoked concerns about the effects of the marijuana snacks, which have become popular since Denver legalised recreational marijuana stores. Just before she was shot, Kristine Kirk told 911 dispatchers that her husband was acting more drunk than violent, crawling through a bedroom window and cutting his legs on broken glass.

He has since recruited a new attorney, who has not

This man’s job is to smoke weed and write reviews about it

It might be the best employment on the planet, in the event that you like being completely blitzed throughout the day.  Jake Browne, 32, composes week by week weed "surveys" for the Denver Post, where he reviews a percentage of the brain bendingly solid strains of dope, for example, Red Headed Stranger, Afghan Haze and Bio-Diesel which were as of late legitimized in the state.  Browne goes into one of Colorado's numerous new legitimate weed shops, starts up, and reviews how the grass makes him feel.  Even better, he thinks of them up in the style of opulent wine commentators.  'What's strikingly truant are the chocolate notes, rather its even more a stale espresso you'd get from a Starbucks container disposed of to a traveler side auto floor. …  It's a Christmas tree, however stripped of the bulbous trimmings,' he composed, potentially while still off his gourd.  Browne told the Washington Post, 'Generally consistently I go t

Specialists have assessed that the maryjane business could be worth $13.4billion by 2020.  An aggregate of 23 US states have set up therapeutic pot programs – with a number sanctioning it for recreational utilization.  Nonetheless, it is still banned according to the national government.  Yet, specialists at IBISWorld accept the 'developing acknowledgement' of weed will bring about deals in the billions.  Dmitry Diment, of IBISWorld, said in an announcement: 'The developing acknowledgement of medicinal maryjane is giving cultivators and financial specialists remarkable open doors.  'There has been no lack of interest lately, as the business has profited from expanded acknowledgement of the authenticity of medicinal cannabis items
