The cannabis-based slimming pill
What's it for? Losing weight
A slimming pill, which draws its idea from the food cravings known as "the munchies" obtained after using cannabis, could help to reduce weight without the need for diets and exercise.
Taranabant triggers the opposite effect, suppressing the appetite and speeding up the body's metabolism. And it works too, as proven by the clinical trials in which users consumed a third less calories, losing "significant weight" within 12 weeks.
When's it expected by? Dependent upon further clinical trials.
