Howdy again Rx!!!

Well, Alzheimers Disease is a slow atrophy (shrinking and loss of function) of neural tissue. I don't think there's anything about cannabis that would produce this. Maybe chronic users would have temporary symptoms, if one was to go on a binge smoke session. Due to the influx of neurotransmitters and changing levels... But I think it's safe to say that any effects like this from marijuana use go away quickly.

The only medication I'm aware of for Alzheimer's that 'repairs' function only helps to restore short term memory and cognitive process. It's use is limited, however, because nothing can stop the disease process, sadly. Whether or not it could be applied to marijuana burnout is a good question.

Default Its another prohibitionist myth

It is scientificly proven that marijuana prevents alhziemers and parkensons disease. True marijuana coats your nerve cells but it doesnt harm them or stay there permentaly.
