Oh geez, screw that quack.

I'm referring to the Scripps Research Institute study YOU cited which concerned THC, not marijuana. You can't make these global assumptions about the efficacy of marijuana when the study limited itself to THC.

ROFL!
The American Medical Association is a bunch of quacks?
Why don't you try to refute his statement instead of the ad hominem attack?

Still grasping at straws?
The title of the study: "A Molecular Link Between the Active Component of Marijuana and Alzheimer's Disease Pathology"
THC is the active ingredient in marijuana. It doesn't matter if you eat it, smoke it or swallow a THC pill. Doctors are treating Alzheimer's patients with medical marijuana. It works.

[Know your rights]

In the absence of any known link between other cannabinoids and increased Alzheimer's, my conclusion (which was "support" not definitive proof) is sound.

So if a chemical in gasoline helps Alzheimer's, then drinking gasoline is OK.

No, because unlike non-THC cannabinoids there's a known link between gasoline drinking and adverse health outcomes. This logic stuff is difficult for you, I see.
