A recent study found that cannabinoids are also useful in controlling
movement in Parkinson's disease where dopamine agonists are used.
Cannabinoids are amongst the most powerful therapeutic agents for protecting
brains.

Many years ago I read a fascinating account of Alz and pot. A young man had
baked some marijuana cookies and his grandmother, staying with them at the
time and having alz, inadvertantly ate some. The whole family was surprised
at how much better she seemed while "stoned". This story meshes well with a
great deal of evidence pointing to the ability of cannabinoids to ameloriate
alz. The artificial cannabinoid, HU211, which has 100 times the affinity for
the CB 1 receptor than THC, was shown to markedly induce neurogenesis.
The ADD I will take with a grain of salt. However I have demonstrated what
may be called sub clinical ADD and in my early days I found pot markedly
improved my ability to concentrate, had little or no impact on my memory,
and it made studying so much fun ... .
