Pot gives you unstoppable night vision powers?

An article in the Guardian about a recent scientific study that indicate marijuana consumption can improve night vision — if you can keep your eyes open, that is.

Their results backed up claims by the Observer columnist Sue Arnold, who suffers from retinitis pigmentosa and is officially registered blind. She noticed several years ago that drawing on strong Jamaican skunk suddenly and temporarily enabled her to see things clearly. But Ms Arnold has since warned of side-effects that could impede night-time navigation.

"Only trouble was," she said, "I couldn't stand up."
