GRANDPA DOESN’T HAVE ALZHEIMER’S, HE’S JUST STONED
Good news for aging potheads. Research published in the science journal “Molecular Pharmeceutics” has found that smoking marijuana may help stop the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. The study found that marijuana’s active incredient, delta-9-tetrahydocannabinol (THC), was able to preserve the levels of a neurotransmitter which is vital for brain function as we age. Researchers also found that THC blocks clumps of protein which inhibit memory and cognition in Alzheimer’s patients. The strangest thing about this news is that Alzheimer’s patients suffer from memory loss, imparied decision-making, and diminished language skills, which are exactly the same side-effects of getting baked.
