#1 My theory is that the short term memory loss makes people forget that they have Alzheimers.

#3 Hey, I may be in a minority here ... but if they are retired and therefor are not needed to be productive members of society but should try to avoid being major drains on resources(like Atzheimer's is)... Who cares what they are doing!

#4 If you smoke enough dope, how would you even know if you had alzheimers? But seriously, studying something that takes your memory away, as pot does, may indeed provide some insights. I'm sure it's not hard to get volunteers for their study.

#9 Bozo's!

They didn't smoke the stuff! They mixed it with methanol (that's wood alcohol, ie not the drinkin' stuff)!

Actually, and with all seriousness, anything that helps with Alzheimers' would be a blessing for the entire human race (I experienced it up close and personal with a great grandmother while I was growing up - watching her regress progressively to a child was absolutely shattering to a 10-yr old kid; I've also seen it afflict a friend of mine and his wife - they left the states to return to the UK to pursue treatment options that were not legal here, but before they left the degradation of a once gracious lady's personality was heartbreaking to say the least).
