“Cannabinoid may prevent Alzheimer’s disease“
‘Harriet Millward, of the Alzheimer’s Research Trust, said there were two main types of cannabinoid receptor, CR1 and CR2.’
“It is CR1 that produces most of the effects of marijuana, including the harmful ones.”If it is possible to make drugs that act only on CR2, as suggested by the authors of this study, they might mimic the positive effects of cannabinoids without the damaging ones of marijuana.’
I wonder if it’s time for a population study of aging hippies and squares?
