However, when researches carried out a follow-up study using only small doses of CBD, no interesting effects on the participants were shown! So, according to them, nothing can be said until more researchers are done!

#6 – Marijuana can give the munchies

Some of you might think that this is not true but if you are smoking marijuana, you’d certainly get the munchies! In fact, this is no figment of the imagination as studies on mice have shown that both casual and heavy marijuana smokers tend to get the munchies and eventually over-eat.

And this happens due to the effect that marijuana has on the brain. It is found to flip an existing circuit in the brain which is normally responsible for controlling appetite. Therefore, this flip triggers us to eat more instead!

When we have eaten a big meal, a group of cells in the brain are activated and makes us feel full and satisfied, but when we inhale the drug, one of its psychoactive ingredient tend to activate those cells in the brain that work as appetite-suppressors and make us feel hungry instead of satisfied!

#7 – Marijuana Can Help Control Epileptic Seizures

Epidiolex, which is a drug that contains CBD is about to get the approval from the Food And Drug Administration and that’s because it is found to have some positive effects and can treat some forms of childhood epilepsy.

GW Pharma, the company that makes the drug is doing more researchers and studies to explore the CBD’s potential use in people with the Dravet syndrome, an uncommon form of childhood epilepsy.

#8 – Weed Can Turn Your Eyes Red

Inhaling weed can make your eyes red. So, next time you see somebody with red eyes that can’t stop smiling, then, the chances are they might have been smoking marijuana.
According to science, when smokers inhale marijuana, it causes their blood vessels to expand and therefore make them more susceptible to developing red eyes.
