So if this is true and I quite frankly hope it is. They need to make it into a pill form and start prescribing it all all pre demential and worse patience effective today. But I think it can be done in pill form. Let’s use the weed for good.

I’m of the opinion that our Heavenly Father has given us everything we need to have a good life here. We just have to figure it out.

I’ve been personally close to a few heavy pot smokers in my time. Given a choice, I’ll take Alzheimer’s disease. At least it hasn’t yet been proven to be self inflicted. La La Land is La La Land, no matter how you get there. This is the most inventive excuse I’ve seen so far for The Weed. If it’s so effective, put it in a pill. It seems to get a lot less interesting in that form for some reason.

I have yet to hear a Freeper poo poo real medical research on weed...this year.

The crazy right-wingers at Free Republic also seem to be rational.

10 years ago there would be dozens screaming "it's just another excuse to get high" and some inane allusion to filthy druggies.

Somehow, I doubt a case of the munchies fueled this rage over McNuggets. Weed smokers want to go to sleep not bash in windows to get McNuggets. Based on what I have witnessed in my life from others smoking weed..I believe Weed can become addictive.

You're having an emotional reaction to raw research.

That's not rational.

Marijuana doesn’t need a redundant protein to make people stupid, that is its job. :/

Actually it has a pill form. Big pharma has made it prohibitively expensive.

Already done. THC has been synthesized and put in a non-intoxicating oral form for some time now.

Half of the states disagree with you and have enacted medical marijuana programs, as is their prerogative under the 10th Amendment.

Uh huh...then why are all the users I’ve ever known so forgetful? I guess if just accept all the other side effects....man boobs, lethargy / laziness, complacency, impairment of reflexes, etc....the stuff is “natural” and ergo “good” for you. Arsenic, cyanide, and ricin are all natural too. Might as well take it for my health too...lol

This is a surprising result. Don’t many heavy pot smokers have memory issues as they age?

I wish to correct myself. It appears that it has become very reasonably priced.

Its probably not true but weed addicts will always make outrageous health-benefit claims.

It would be super simple to prove this works, or does not work, with double-blind tests in alzheimer wards.

Coconut oil does help. Brains need good quality fat and lots of it.
