Pot may help stave off Alzheimer’s

Good news - smoking pot may stave off Alzheimer’s disease.
New research shows that the active ingredient in marijuana may prevent the
formation of deposits in the brain associated with the degenerative disease.

Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute in California found that marijuana's
active ingredient, THC, can prevent an enzyme from accelerating the formation of
"Alzheimer plaques" in the brain more effectively than commercially marketed drugs.
