Report: Marijuana Prevents Mad Cow Disease

There may be a bit of skepticism about this report.

The National Organisation for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (Norml) says a French study shows cannabidiol may be effective in preventing bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), known as mad cow disease.

Scientists at the National Centre for Scientific Research in France found cannabidiol - a non-psychoactive ingredient - may prevent the development of prion diseases, the most well known of which is BSE.

I guess this means that consumers should imbibe in marijuana before eating beef -- just to be safe.
