In another interesting study, it has now been shown that THC prevents the formation of Amyloid Plaques better than any of our current FDA approved drugs.

Yet another good argument for medical marijuana.

True. Try to get it, even with a MD's order. While various states have legalized it for medical purposes, the feds still maintain it as a dangerous drug & outlaw it. Even some medical pot cafes in California get busted. Until the lawmakers pull their collective heads out of the their asses and at the very least decriminalize the stuff, the controversy between states & the feds is going to continue.

Hmmm.

I have been a tad forgetful lately.
And a large left-handed cigarette sounds pretty good right about now.

Anybody know where I can get some viable seeds?
Shoot, if it'll hold off Alzheimers, I'll happily grow my own!
:eek:

The question is, can you tell the difference between someone with Alzheimer's and someone who's really high?

Oh yeah. Quite easily. Highs go away (sometimes rather quickly). Deteriorating brain function does not.
