“No we don’t since the latest studies show pot smokers blood flow in brain is cut by over half...”
Bullshite. Show us a link to studies that actually say this.
There are studies that show a decrease in cranial blood flow in heavy smokers—78 to 350 joints a week = heavy smoker (way too much for me, sheesh). But nothing close to approaching “by over half”. Studies I have read show the amount of decrease depends significantly on how much cannabis is being smoked.
As with all things we can eat, drink or smoke: too much isn’t good for you.
It would be great if cannabis was taken off the schedule 1 list so real studies could be done that weren’t financed by prohibitionists or pro cannabis groups.
"A preclinical study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that very small doses of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a chemical found in marijuana, can slow the production of beta-amyloid proteins, thought to be a hallmark characteristic and key contributor to the progression of Alzheimer’s.
The study, published in 2014, is among others to support the effectiveness of THC in prohibiting the growth of toxic amyloid plagues. [...]
"Another study from the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California has also found that tetrahydrocannabinol and other compounds found in marijuana may reduce the amount of beta amyloid in the brain. Beta amyloid is a hallmark characteristic of Alzheimer’s and is commonly thought to cause the neurodegenerative disease. [...]
"a recent study published in The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease has concluded that cannabis extract containing THC can relieve these symptoms of Alzheimer’s."
