There is quite a lot of stigma still attached to pot and the stereotypical pothead however, times are changing and the use of cannabis is evolving past the 'getting high' with medical cannabis being readily available throughout many states of America.

New pathways are being open up for the hundreds of compounds found within the plant and many could be beneficial to human health. tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is an active compound within the plant that many research papers have an interest in.

Forbes states that researchers believe that cannabis could actually help to sharpen our minds later in life. The active compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) may help to reduce the slowing down process of our brains.

The science was carried out on lab rats(mice), in which THC actually had a negative impact on younger mice. THC when given to younger mice slowed them down and not their brains ageing process. when THC was given to older mice their speeds were increased and almost on par with a healthy non-high young mouse.

This incredible discovery is is just a starting point for many substances that have been regarded as too taboo for you. Other substances include magic mushrooms and 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) although cannabis and the THC compounds seem to be the most promising.

I don't know if i will be going out getting high in hopes to stay young but i'll certainly enjoy a joint to get the good times rolling

Maybe I will buy some weed related coins!
