According to research presented at the annual meeting of the International Psychogeriatric Association, a synthetic marijuana compound can reduce agitation and improve appetite in patients with Alzheimer's. Is there any laidback stoner with the munchies who couldn't have told us that?
The news comes from the Meridian Institute for Aging, a continuum of senior health programs and services in Central New Jersey affiliated with Meridian Health System, so I guess this means in due time we will be able to get a (synthesized, patent-protected) buzz from the local HMO. Ain't the free market grand?
