Beary White ,   Norway   (06.03.12)
Congratulation, the civilized world would benefit from this findings.
3. That is not a good thing.
Vierotchka ,   Geneva, Switzerlaqnd   (06.03.12)
It is in the THC that one finds most of the medical properties of Cannabis, especially the cancer-curing properties. Removing the THC through genetic manipulation renders medical marijuana about as effective as acetylsalicylic acid-free aspirin.
4. #1 - Agreed...

5. Time for a new law to legalize this strain.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.03.12)
6. new weed
agokoy ,   cebu   (06.03.12)
wow, that's incredible. all it's medical usefulness without the drag. but to recreational users with medical as the excuse, this is literally a Buzz-Kill. hahaha!
7. dealer's products
David ,   New England   (06.03.12)
The stuff the dealers have now just makes me paranoid. I haven't smoked in years. I remember as far back as the 80s a nurse telling me that people were coming into the emergency room after having bad experiences from marijuana. Maybe scientists could use this to study the brain by artificially inducing paranoia and then apply it people who suffer from this mental illness. Also, it's a good thing it increases the appetite for people who aren't eating because of illness.
8. not good news at all
pot-head ,   tlv   (06.03.12)
well, as long as they keep selling the old good natural weed, I guess it's not a problem! not everyone is buying it only for pain purposes...getting high is also a great therapy for some people. I hope to see it legal someday!
9. Unintoxicating weed
Gadi   (06.03.12)
Well this really blows. Personally, i dont see how this is good news ;))
10. ridiculous
Jozef ,   Canada   (06.03.12)
If you are smoking for medical reasons then getting high is one of the few pleasures remaining. You may take it away, but we will always find .it.
11. YNET Practical Joke
shrinkDave ,   Miami USA   (06.04.12)
Whoever wrote this has a great sense of humor, and most definitely was high. Thanks for the laugh.
12. This same effect can be archived by..
vango ,   israel   (06.04.12)
harvesting a bit earlier thus not allowing the THC to develop. That is, what i assume, they have done. It really might be useful for patients who don't care for the high. For me, I need the much and the good warm chill.
13. looking at the comments
Ryan ,   Austin, TX   (06.04.12)
looks like people are missing the point of Medical marijuana.. its not to get you high, its to help heal you. you dont NEED to get high. then again, it just shows why people want it legal to begin with, to get high. the medicinal use is just a red herring to that end.
14. Why not just legalize it all?
Az   (06.04.12)
Alcohol is much more dangerous - and addictive - and with more lethal withdrawal - than most other drugs anyways. And if you legalized all sorts of drugs people would go for the softer more pleasant ones - see American prohibition studies. When prohibition is enacted harder drugs are abused because of the greater ease of concealment and transportation of them. Nonsensical prohibition anyways. Why not legalize drugs but ban deceptive advertising instead?
15. Methadone was also a substitute
BEN JABO - MACHAL ,   ISRAEL   (06.04.12)
the junkies also got addicted to that One drug replacing another drug, doesn't reduce the desire for drugs
16. controlling one's neighbor
mo ,   Old world order   (06.04.12)
A euro-germanic obsession to limit others' personal freedom is not in any way connected to jewish thought..... Another forty years wandering in the desert of euro-think? Wake Up and lose the gestapo mentality... your psyches are stuck in stockholm syndrome....imitating your jailors and tormentors to be 'accepted'. IN Israel think like a FREE jew.
17. It is a very good thing, the information you have is wrong.
David ,   Berlin   (06.04.12)
18. Next in the works: Non-orgasmic Sex, really great!
