The active ingredient in marijuana, which is banned as a narcotic drug in the US, Russia and most EU countries, can significantly slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. According to experimenters at the Scripps Research Institute in California, the substance delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol in marijuana prevents the degradation of the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine and does so better than currently used drugs. In addition, this ingredient of the "light" drug has the ability to prevent the formation of accumulations of toxic proteins in the tissues of the brain, characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. In a word, the famous singer George Michael, who recently fizzled out in his car, was engaged only in the prevention of senile dementia.
However, nowadays marijuana and its active ingredients are widely used for medical purposes. In some countries, it is approved as a treatment for glaucoma, as well as the side effects of chemotherapy for cancer. Currently, in a number of countries, synthetic drugs are being developed that have the beneficial properties of marijuana, but are devoid of its inherent psychotropic effect. According to the researchers, the data they obtained may lead to the creation of new effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease, which is the main cause of senile dementia among the elderly in the United States and Europe.
