In a secret location in the hills of Galilee, scientists say they have engineered a form of cannabis, that does not give users a "high".
The new form reportedly has all the possible health benefits of the plant, without any of the side effects.
Cannabis has more than sixty chemical parts to it, which are called cannabinoids. Some of them give off the "high", others do not.
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of the most effective parts in treating various illnesses, and when it is separated from other cannabinoids like THC it doesn't give off the "high".
Scientists hope that with continued research they will be able to make it so that CBD plants are spread worldwide, replacing the full plant.
Spread of the CBD plants could greatly increase the spread of cannabis for medical purposes, as it would in no way effect a users mental capabilities.
