A nice review is here: Cannabinoids for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease: moving toward the clinic - PMC

Summary: Low doses of certain varieties of cannabinoids seem to be helpful, but higher doses, or doses that include a lot of delta 9 THC seem to cause more problems with attention span, memory retention, etc.

I have a recurring nightmare that I’m already afflicted and during my lucid moments everyone I know is just humoring me.
