Marijuana may help Alzheimer's patients, new Spanish study shows
Scientists in Spain think they have discovered that the active ingredient in marijuana can help protect the brain from some of the problems caused by Alzheimer's disease. While marijuana does not cure the disease, the researchers say, lab tests have shown that the illegal drug can probably help reduce the mental problems that Alzheimer's patients suffer. The discovery may set the stage for a renewed debate over the medicinal use of marijuana.
