MEDICAL MARIJUANA HAS PREVENTATIVE QUALITIES

Re: 'Dementia a looming crisis, says new report' (Daily News, Jan. 4)

Medical marijuana has been positively indicated in treating not only
the symptoms of Alzheimer's, but also in blocking a protein that causes it.

But don't bother telling anyone. They won't believe it -- no matter
how much science you show them -- and even if they do, they will still
put grandpa on thorazine because that is what they think they are
supposed to do. They would rather have him throwing a tantrum in the
mall than -- heaven forbid -- smoking a joint outside.
