Even an almost compete idiot could understand that it doesn't say "Take yer CO2 production down to yer basal VdotCO2." I guess "almost" no longer applies to you.

I find it fascinating how fixated you are on weed. Keeps me young.
I don't want to forget more than you never knew.

Marijuana could prevent Alzheimer's
By Stephanie Webber

Updated: Saturday, June 20, 2009

A puff a day might keep Alzheimer's away, according to marijuana research by professor Gary Wenk and associate professor Yannic Marchalant of the Ohio State Department of Psychology.

Wenk's studies show that a low dosage in the morning of a certain cannabinoid, a component in marijuana, reversed memory loss in older rats' brains. In his study, an experimental group of old rats received a dosage, and a control group of rats did not. The old rats that received the drugs performed better on memory tests, and the drug slowed and prevented brain cell death.
