In the absence of any known link between other cannabinoids and increased Alzheimer's, my conclusion (which was "support" not definitive proof) is sound.

So if a chemical in gasoline helps Alzheimer's, then drinking gasoline is OK.

No, because unlike non-THC cannabinoids there's a known link between gasoline drinking and adverse health outcomes. This logic stuff is difficult for you, I see.

"No, because unlike non-THC cannabinoids there's a known link between gasoline drinking and adverse health outcomes."

And no such link exists with marijuana? That's what the scientific study found? So marijuana is safe for those with Alzheimer's, according to this study?

No KNOWN link, like I said.

Which means what? That marijuana is safe to use by people with Alzheimer's, according to the study? Somewhat safe? Dangerous? What?

How can you possibly conclude that a THC study gives the green light to smoking marijuana?

As I said, in the absence of any known link between other cannabinoids and increased Alzheimer's, the research under discussion gives significant support to the claim that marijuana helps stop Alzheimer's disease.

1. The parts of the whole X have characteristics A, B, C, etc.
2. Therefore the whole X must have characteristics A, B, C.

Straw man ... who said "must"?
