Men's Health has reported that recreational marijuana is now legal in eight states and medical marijuana in another 20. The popularity of the drug is rising, along with an increase in debates arguing the safety of the drug. A recent study in Germany published in Nature Medicine and conducted by researchers from the University of Bonn, concluded that when low doses of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) were administered to aging mice, they showed an improvement in cognitive abilities like memory and the ability to learn new tasks. Zameel Cader, an associate professor in clinical neurosciences at Oxford University, who is also involved in the cannabis research project, told Newsweek that the findings indicate "a possible role for that compound in memory and cognition, which is relevant to disorders such as Alzheimer's and other dementias."http://www.menshealth.com/health/stud...http://www.wochit.comThis video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
