A great discovery has been made.

Cannabis may help keep Alzheimer’s disease at bay.

In experiments, a marijuana-based medicine triggered the formation of new brain cells and cut inflammation linked to dementia.

But let’s not stop there.

Other experiments showed that the drug acts on parts of the brain involved in memory, appetite, pain and mood.

Crap, I did not know cannabis could so that.  Especially that appetite, mood, and pain thing.  Did you know that?  Hell, that needs more research.  I don’t know that anybody has ever noticed that before.

And the study’s conclusion?

It is likely such a drug would be taken to prevent the disease, rather than treat it.

Asked if those with a family history of Alzheimer’s should smoke cannabis to prevent them developing the disease, Dr Wenk said: ‘We’re not saying that but it might actually work.

So, if I start forgetting crap, somebody remind me to sue the State Democratic Executive Committee.

Thanks to Carol for the heads-up.
