FlaSoxxJim Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 (edited) Between all the new findings coming out about the positive aspects of moderate alcohol and THC consumption, I'm realizing was the damn picture of health back in college! New research shows that the active ingredient in marijuana may prevent the progression of the disease by preserving levels of an important neurotransmitter that allows the brain to function. Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute in California found that marijuana's active ingredient, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, can prevent the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from breaking down more effectively than commercially marketed drugs. THC is also more effective at blocking clumps of protein that can inhibit memory and cognition in Alzheimer's patients, the researchers reported in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics. http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/10/05/pot.a...reut/index.html Edited October 6, 2006 by FlaSoxxJim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBasedowYoda Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 For a nursing class I've done some clinical work in a retirement home, Alzheimer's is a terrible thing. If toking up is going ease the pain then let's hop to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sox4lifeinPA Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 so in other words... you're high and don't remember anything when you're young, so when you're old you can't forget anything. is there a way I can take a eccelerated course on the weekends to make up for time lost? I'll take an M.B.A. in THC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
