Marijuana May Help Alzheimer's

I am fairly certain that if people keep trying they will find a way to eventually legalize marijuana...which I am in full support of. The most recent findings from smoking pot:

The active ingredient of marijuana could be considerably better at suppressing the abnormal clumping of malformed proteins that is a hallmark of Alzheimer's than any currently approved drugs prescribed for the treatment of the disease.

Scientists report the finding in the Oct. 2 issue of the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics.
So to quickly recap the bad effects from smoking pot are: hunger and laziness - really bad societal issues. The positives are: increased creativity, pain reliever for cancer victims, cure for glaucoma and now potentially a way to avert Alzheimer's desease. Not sure how much longer the American government can continue to demonize probably the least abused, most widely illegally consumed drug when most are beginning to realize that pot is not that big of deal.
