Can marijuana slow down the aging brain? Consider What the Study Says

According to a recently published analysis by The Washington PostThe Salk Institute researchers focused on canabinol (CBN), a canabinoid that is created as THC's byproduct of the main psychoactive substance found in marijuana, reports Entering, broadcast Periscope.

In experiments using human brain cell cultures and animal cells, researchers found that cannabinol seems to protect neurons from oxidative stress, a harmful form of biological consumption that leads to cell death. Deoxidative stress is considered a critical factor in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

The possible result?

Drinking more marijuana can reduce the chances of developing a similar densis and cognitive situation - although, to be fair, work is far from final. However, it is not the only study that suggests that cannabis can curb inflammation associated with Alzheimer's disease, and it continues to be a promising research route.

Another study highlighted by Popo challenged some long-standing assumptions about how the use of adult cannabis affects the brain. Published in 2024 in the magazine JAMA Netek Open, he found no significant link between middle - aged adults and older people who recently started using cannabis for medical reasons and decline and cognitive damage.

Carl Hart, a psychologist at the University of Colombia, argues that the adult brain is more resistant to the negative side of the reactor than was traditionally thought. In his experiments, he offered adults the opportunity to do a mathematical test from which they could earn money by getting good results. He also offered them an unexpected turn of events to continue before starting. While most people refused, those participating showed minimal signs of impact on the accuracy of their responses.

This, according to Hart, shows that marijuana does not turn you into an unmotivated, as it would like to believe cultural stigma; even with the possibility of earning more money, marijuana smokers were still willing for the challenge and often received good results.

Think about all those people who get cannabis,"told Hart Wahpo. "There are some people who are not motivated to jack, but that's not because of cannabis. And there's a wide range of people who did incredible things in the world while they were under cannabis. But the idea just won't die. "/Periscope
