“Early use of marijuana might forestall the onset of Alzheimer’s and improve memory in old people, says Gary Wenk, a long-time researcher whose work with marijuana and this disease has come to halt.
“We found out that people who smoked dope in the 1960s were not getting Alzheimer’s,” Wenk said. “These 90-year-olds without dementia were telling us things like, ‘Well, I drank whiskey and smoked dope,’ and these are the things they remember. They don’t remember habits like how often they ate broccoli.”
But lately, due to political, legal and financial reasons, his research progress have come to a halt.
“The evidence in animals is clear but making the leap to humans mean that you have to find a drug company willing to handle the lawsuits and the money,” Wenk said.”
