Prescription marijuana without the memory loss
 

Marijuana is commonly used for pain relief in many U.S states, but has regrettable side-effects such as making you forgetful.

Now scientists have pinpointed the part of the brain where the drug hinders working memory and discovered it is a separate area to where it has a medicinal effect.

They say the findings raise the possibility that they could design a cannabis drug that is able to treat pain and seizures without hurting the memory.

The team, led by Giovanni Marsciano from the French biomedical institution INSERM, found that marijuana eased pain via the neurons in the brain. However, the main psychoactive ingredient (THC) impaired memory via the astroglia - passive support cells that play second fiddle to active neurons.

i am smoking for about 15 years and never had ... oh ... what did i wanted to ... hm

Don't test the elasticity of evolution?

Please stop posting Daily Mail links and stick to bumming men you find on usenet, you pointless spastic.

Thanks.

i think its funny when weed smokers say it does nothing too them

first thing it does is make them addicted to telling anybody with ears that they aren't addicted to it and they aren't paranoid but you'd better stop looking at them funny.

of course it is doing something, when i am smoking i am stoned :)

watch out, we could have a bunch of smart stoners running around. Why can't they just remove the munchie part?

that cannabis causes memory loss is not accurate, there are studies that show scientifically that marijuana can improve memory as well.

old stereotypes hard to break but far from accurate. luckily modern science puts an end to most of the nonsense,...

so, there is someone doing webmastering who is not stoned daily from the morning? :helpme

hmmm.... I'm sure there was something I wanted to write....

Yep, the first thing it does is makes them addicted. Are you fucking retarded?

This is just bullshit propaganda from a drug company looking to patent their own version of the drug.
