A  one year clinical study by the Dutch has shown that a combo of marijuna and gaming can stave off Alzheimers.

"40 test subjects in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease were put through 7 increasingly tougher video game challenges with and without the inclusion of medical marijuana. Each video game challenge was repeated daily for a number of weeks until the test subject could complete the test within the set time limit.

Scientists determined that the control group that was administered medical marijuana retained a 43% greater memory retention as compared to the other test group. “It was a far greater benefit to the marijuana administered group than we could have imagined”, said test organizer Ewoud Joost."
