Even if it's open access, it's still a peer-reviewed Nature-affiliated journal, and it's research done by the Salk Institute and UC San Diego in California. Not some crappy third world university. Seems pretty legit:

Instead of losing your long term memory, smoke weed and lose short term memory instead. Walla!

Weed is the most bullshit drug ever. I'm glad it's illegal and I will vote no every single time some bullshit legalization effort is on the ballot. I also vote for judges who punish potheads harshly.

Here is the 2006 paper from Scripps detailing inhibition of amyloid plaque formation by THC

Full paper:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2562334/#__ffn_sectitle

http://www.scripps.edu/news/press/2006/080906.html

quote:

LA JOLLA, CA, August 9, 2006 - Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have found that the active ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, inhibits the formation of amyloid plaque, the primary pathological marker for Alzheimer's disease. In fact, the study said, THC is "a considerably superior inhibitor of [amyloid plaque] aggregation" to several currently approved drugs for treating the disease.

The study was published online August 9 in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics, a publication of the American Chemical Society.

According to the new Scripps Research study, which used both computer modeling and biochemical assays, THC inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which acts as a "molecular chaperone" to accelerate the formation of amyloid plaque in the brains of Alzheimer victims. Although experts disagree on whether the presence of beta-amyloid plaques in those areas critical to memory and cognition is a symptom or cause, it remains a significant hallmark of the disease. With its strong inhibitory abilities, the study said, THC "may provide an improved therapeutic for Alzheimer's disease" that would treat "both the symptoms and progression" of the disease.

I don't trust it. How can you do RESEARCH with weed when weed isn't even a RESEARCH chemical.

I only trust studies with new and novel drugs like 3-methyl-triplopthigaze-diethyl-beta-punesclazam.
