Kind reader, I have what I like to call a finely tuned bullshit detector, but this one slipped right past it. Last week, we reported that scientists discovered a new type of cannabis in Australia. Sadly, even I got duped by this one. It’s a total hoax. I guess it goes to show that you can’t always believe everything you read on the Internet.
Sad to report for all of our pot-loving friends out there, there won’t be an exotic new type of cannabis headed for your bong any time soon. Of course, with the species of cannabis that we know for sure exist, the opportunity to find new medicinal and utilitarian uses for the plant is still very much present, and we look forward to reporting actual advances as they happen, not hoaxes.
