The timeline for the onset of dementia is being pushed ever further back--- In childhood ( http://www.webmd.com/alzheimers/news/20001127/could-alzheimers-disease-start-in-childhood#1) ) In the womb While Nicotine has been shown to be used by schizophrenics to self medicate the symptoms of their disease we don't stop to consider what cannabis smokers might have. If Alzehimers results in reduced levels of cannabanoids in the brain are the young marijuana smokers who present with with reduced intellectual function simply, like schizophrenics, just trying as best they can to to self medicate? In this case their early onset dementia . Alzehimers incidence certainly decreased among the college educated http://www.webmd.com/alzheimers/news/20090202/education-protects-against-alzheimers)with with) access to cannabis after the drug became popular. The area with the highest consumption of marijuana in the world is also the area with the lowest instance of dementia . Is someone besides the now semi incoherent sufferer of a progressive fatal disease who has seen family member after family member incarcerated for substance abuse while they die is ever going to ask these questions, in a world where science serves only special interests and the only advocate for the disabled are corrupt charities who are little more than mouthpices for equally corrupt pharmacutical companies ?

Who is going to save us, if they don't even realize what the problem is in the first place.
