A daily puff of marijuana can help reduce memory loss in old age and fight Alzheimer’s, a shocking new study has revealed. According to Ohio State University scientists, specific elements of marijuana can be good for the aging brain by reducing inflammation there and possibly even stimulating the formation of new brain cells.

The research suggests that the development of a legal drug that contains certain properties similar to those in marijuana might help prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s.

Though the exact cause of the disease remains unknown, chronic inflammation in the brain is believed to contribute to memory impairment.
