WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A SAFETY SUPERVISOR ON 'JACKASS FOREVER'

Though you wouldn't know it from watching the movie, there was someone on set trying to keep these guys from fully dying: Charlie Grisham, the production's stunt coordinator. After working as a stuntman for more than two decades, he transitioned from performing stunts to orchestrating them.

Cannabis Compound May Prevent Death In Aging Brain Cells By Protecting Mitochondria | IFLScience

CANNABIS COMPOUND MAY PREVENT DEATH IN AGING BRAIN CELLS BY PROTECTING MITOCHONDRIA

A compound found in cannabis may stave off a type of programmed cell death regularly seen in the neurons of people with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other forms of dementia. Called cannabinol (CBN), the cannabinoid in question is not psychoactive and appears to keep aging brain cells alive by limiting oxidative stress within key cellular organelles. CBN has previously been found to have potent neuroprotective effects, but the mechanism underlying this property remains unknown. IFLScience
