There's a pretty big difference between weed preventing Alzheimer's and there being a chance that weed helps prevent Alzheimer's.

'chemical components  of marijuana reduce inflammation and stimulate the production of new brain cells, thereby enhancing memory.'

Good enough?

Doesn't seem like much of a stretch to me. I mean weed has obviously opposite effects during the duration of its effects, but it seems like it might actually encourage the brain to work more in order to counteract them - roughly speaking, I had periods of use that felt very much so. Sudden halts to regular smoking made my might rush like i was on stimulants.

Huh. Alzheimer's runs in my family and my mom is worried she might develop it sometime in the future. I just sent her the article. Should be interesting to see her reply, she's never smoked pot in her life.

I told her she should load up the bong and take a few rips :lol:

Cigarettes have been known to reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease for a long time. Doesn't mean you should start smoking cigarettes though.

Quote:
"Current smokers and those who had continued to smoke to within five years of Parkinson’s disease diagnosis exhibited the lowest risk, [but] a decrease in risk [of] 13 to 32 per cent was also observed in those who had quit smoking up to 25 years prior,”

I know the wired blog isn't the best source, but I first read about this in my Biological Psychology textbook then saw it again in my Neurobiology textbook.

There's quite a few biologists/bio majors on these boards. Zouden and I do some neruoscience stuff, although I've been doing a lot less work in the lab lately... My lab supervisor is queen bitch.
