quote:

"Salk Institute scientists have found preliminary evidence that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other compounds found in marijuana can promote the cellular removal of amyloid beta, a toxic protein associated with Alzheimer's disease"

"The researchers found that high levels of amyloid beta were associated with cellular inflammation and higher rates of neuron death. They demonstrated that exposing the cells to THC reduced amyloid beta protein levels and eliminated the inflammatory response from the nerve cells caused by the protein, thereby allowing the nerve cells to survive."

"When we were able to identify the molecular basis of the inflammatory response to amyloid beta, it became clear that THC-like compounds that the nerve cells make themselves may be involved in protecting the cells from dying."

Straight edge lame-o's getting put on blast!

Smoking weed is like training your mind with weighted clothing like Goku did. If u stop smoking you become a super genius.

I agree all of those drugs should be equally available for unrestricted use, and research.

Especially meth. They should just give 20 mg daily to everyone over the age of 14 and watch us become #1 in education for every subject. Except art class, the children should be given psychedelics for art class.

Can they just isolate THC and put it in pill so we can reap the benefits without having to smell the stink weed or the people who smoke it?

21 for all intoxicants imho. Especially weed for non-medical purposes, because 18 year old potheads are dumb as gently caress. (source: was an 18 year old pothead)

No poo poo but that's considered an indefensible position these days since every oval office on the Internet has had an aunt die of an oxy overdose* or something.
