Cannabis may help prevent Alzheimer's memory loss

Dr de Ceballos said the results showed that THC could help prevent memory loss in Alzheimer's patients, although the reasons why this might happen are still to be explored.

The next stage, she said, would be to test the rats using a synthetic equivalent of THC which inhibits the activity of microglia without intoxicating the rats as well.

"There's a long way to go before we will know if it is actually possible to stop the progression of Alzheimer's," she said.
