I’m only kidding. I don’t condone doing anything illegal-especially amidst the “war on drugs”. Besides, I wouldn’t want to be considered a terrorist.

Anyway, cnn.com is reporting a story about how marijuana may stave off Alzheimers.

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.

I’m not for doing illegal drugs, but this sounds interesting. I guess when enough groups of scientists test marijuana for enough things, it’ll eventually find *some* legitimate use.
