Why don't you refer to the research and let people draw their own conclusions. Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease are caused by inflammation of the brain. Marijuana reduces inflammation. If you read the research and read between the lines the researchers at Ohio State University practically say that if dementia or Alzheimer's runs in your family and you are over 50 you should be taking a hit of marijuana a day to prevent those diseases, much as people over 50 with a history of heart disease or stroke in their family should be taking a baby aspirin daily to prevent heart attack or stroke. This right from the Ohio State University web page:
"“Could people smoke marijuana to prevent Alzheimer’s disease if the disease is in their family? We’re not saying that, but it might actually work." - Gary L. Wenk, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience & Molecular Virology, Immunology and Medical Genetics at the Ohio State University and Medical Center, is a leading authority on the consequences of chronic brain inflammation and animal models of Alzheimer's disease.
