// Definition
Emerging research showing that cannabinoids may help address Alzheimer's disease by reducing amyloid-beta plaque buildup on brain receptors. Studies, including one from Stanford University, found that plaque on receptors prevents cannabinoids from communicating properly, suggesting a relationship between the endocannabinoid system and Alzheimer's pathology.
// From the Episode
A significant medical discussion in Episode 054. The panel discussed a Stanford University study that found plaque on brain receptors was blocking cannabinoids from communicating, and that this plaque buildup is fundamentally what Alzheimer's disease is. Mark Scialdone explained that the brain undergoes 'a process called hypoxia' and that cannabis compounds may help clear or prevent this plaque. The discussion connected the endocannabinoid system, the pineal gland, and neurological plaque formation.
