Marijuana is detrimental to short term memory, and smoking or ingesting the plant in raw or just slightly processed form is probably not too good for Alzheimer patients(since it does ruin short term memory)! Probably not birthing mothers either. That being said. I do smoke marijane and do believe in many of it's hundreds upon thousands of purposes. But do know it is does have some side effects and short term memory loss is one of those. Though from my research, it has very very little effect on long term memory.
Now few certain compounds of the marijuana plant are known for combating alzheimer. The big understanding you have to have place for the memory side of things is the somewhat mirror relationship between Thc(Tetrahydrocannabinol), and Anandamide(N-arachidonoylethanolamine)! Hope you are rocking the CBD for them :)!
Anandamide is soluble in fat which allows it to easily slip across the blood-brain barrier. Its 3-dimensional shape STRONGLY RESEMBLES that of THC. However, THC it's self is a relatively robust molecule, whereas anandamide in comparison is fragile and breaks down rapidly in the body. That is why anandamide doesn't produce the same effects of a continual 'natural high' that you receive from THC.
Anandamide is synthesized enzymatically in the areas of the brain that are important in memory, thought processes and control of movement. Research suggests that anandamide plays a role in the making and breaking of short-term connections between nerve cells, and this is related to learning and memory. Animal studies suggest that too much anandamide induces forgetfulness. This suggests that if substances could be developed that keep anandamide from binding to its receptor, these might be used to treat memory loss or even to enhance existing memory! That's why certain compounds synthesized may be good for combating alzheimers. But in my belief it would one would need to be proactive before a harsh onset of the disease.
And the part for soon to be birthing mothers. Anandamide is one of the first communications that occurs between mother and child. Due to the similarity between THC and anadamide, scientists have raised the possibility that THC may interfere with signalling between the uterus and the embryo.
Now I could go on and on about the true potential of the plant and it's compounds and how great for man the psychological and physical effects are. But the truth is, it does not cure everything. And at the same time it is not good for everything. Anyways GLTA.
And I think we got a winner here with MWIP. It is the ONLY, yes the ONLY stock in the erbal sector that will have a bid showing higher than the ask some mornings! That never happens with the other ones! And the few stocks I've seen that happen to, time after time again are usually the truth and have much strength!
