Investigators at The Scripps Research Institute in California reported that THC inhibits the enzyme responsible for the aggregation of amyloid plaque — the primary marker for Alzheimer's disease — in a manner "considerably superior" to approved Alzheimer's drugs such as donepezil and tacrine. "Our results provide a mechanism whereby the THC molecule can directly impact Alzheimer's disease pathology," researchers concluded. "THC and its analogues may provide an improved therapeutic option for Alzheimer's disease by... simultaneously treating both the symptoms and the progression of the disease". [...] Want more?

No, unless you have some clinical and scientific data you can linke for me. If you want to PROVE something, I want hard information.

The study mentions the effect of THC on Alzheimer's, not the effect of marijuana on Alzheimer's.

Does smoking marijuana provide enough THC to the system to have a similar effect on Alzheimer's? If not, or if you don't know, maybe you shouldn't be too anxious to flout your ignorance of this topic.
