What if we could tinker with our genetic code to enrich our visual spectrum? Dr. Jay Neitz, Associate Professor of Cell Biology, Neurobiology, and Anatomy at the Medical College of Wisconsin discusses why he thinks gene therapy could cure colorblindness, how some women may already perceive the world in more than three colors and why it might one day be possible to see like insects.

For this BioBits In-depth podcast we spoke with three experts. Dr. Robert Melamede, a researcher at the University of Colorado informs us about how medical marijuana might be working to alleviate pain. We learn about a new marijuana spray called Sativex from Dr. William Notcutt, anesthesiologist at James Paget Medical Center in the UK. And Pat Fleming, Director of the Salt Lake County Department of Human Services Division of Substance Abuse, talks about the social issues surrounding the use of medical marijuana.
