There could be a new weapon in the battle against the bulge, and it has something to do with marijuana. It's an experimental weight loss pill called Taranabant.

Marijuana is known for giving smokers "the munchies" and the new drug reportedly works by blocking the cannanbinoid receptors in the brain, meaning you don't feel hungry, NBC 10 reported.

Local drug maker Merck is testing the pill. In an early study of 500 obese patients, the company said they all lost weight and burned calories while resting.
