SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea has awarded high honours to a herbal medicine
for constipation with marijuana as an active ingredient, the communist
state's official news agency says.

The concoction of rhubarb, cannabis sativa (marijuana) and elecampane
"gives no harmful effect to internal organs but activates their functions
and promotes digestion by dissolving bile well", the state-run Korean
Central News Agency (KCNA) said on Thursday.

KCNA said the government had awarded a top science prize this year to the
medicine made by Pyongyang Hospital of Koryo Medicine after it "completely
cured" 97 percent of the thousands of constipated patients who tried it.
