Pot smoking means more years of enjoying porn

female scientist smoking potActually, we mean more years of knowing that you’re enjoying [tag]porn[/tag]. And this isn’t something some pothead said at a local smokeshop in West Nowhere. No, we’re basing that statement on new research in the USA which claims that smoking pot prevents Alzheimer’s disease.

The Scripps Research Institute in California is now saying that the active ingredient in marijuana, THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), prevents the progression of the disease by preserving levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine better than current commercial drugs. In their report to the Molecular Pharmaceutics journal, the researchers said THC is also more effective at blocking the clumps of protein which can inhibit memory and cognition in Alzheimer’s patients.

So now, besides helping relieve glaucoma and the side-effects of chemotherapy and AIDS treatments, we can now add that marijuana smoking helps prevent the leading cause of dementia among the elderly.

When the hell are the medical establishment and the lawmakers going to stop taking money from the big pharmaceutical companies and work together to get the criminal penalties removed at least for those who have valid medical needs?
