National Geographic's New Cover Will Make You See Weed In A Whole New Way

National Geographic's upcoming June cover features one word bold enough to grab just about anyone's attention: "WEED."

Of the many developing uses for the drug, the magazine explores a cannabis oil extract being used on children to treat serious health conditions like cancer and epilepsy. The in-depth look into the scientific and medical potential behind the leafy green plant, and the people who harvest it, will make readers view the drug like they never have before.
