The 64 year old took part in a scientific trial for a channel 4 programme
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond vaped cannabis and munched 'red grapes' during a live TV experiment.
The 64-year-old signed up to the ground-breaking scientific trial where researchers asked the human guinea pigs questions in an MRI scan while under the influence.
Jennie admits to having smoked cannabis at University while listening to 'Jimmy Hendrix' and lying back on velvet cusions.
users were given either a placebo, mild cannabis or 'skunk', which can be up to 10x more powerful than strains smoked in the 1960s.
They then completed a series of cognitive tests and a questionnaire.
Speaking about the trial she said: "I smoked a bit of cannabis as a student and enjoyed the mellowing effect, the relaxation and sometimes the uncontrollable giggling.
"So the idea of taking skunk didn't frighten me and I was intrigued to see how it differed from the weaker cannabis I used to smoke.
Jennie underwent three trials, the first she thinks was a placebo, the second a mild cannabis strain and the last she believes may have been skunk.
She added: "It seemed much harsher in my throat and I did feel quite stoned after the first two bags. It wasn't particularly pleasant; it made me rather dizzy but I also felt super relaxed.
"In the MRI scanner, the tests seemed no more difficult than before, but I had one hell of a job staying awake.
"After the third bag of whatever it was, I had an insatiable thirst and a love affair with a bunch of grapes!
"My memory was appalling again, but I don't think my concentration was badly affected. Once again, my blood pressure went through the roof. That scared me and made me realise just how dangerous drugs can be."
