6. No doubt and, TBH, dementia is no laughing matter...but, the fact that weed may be a "cure" of sorts

does inject some levity into the conversation.The REALLY odd thing is that, when stoned out of one's mind - I know this from what "friends" have told me (cough, cough... exhaling cloud of smoke) - you'll find yourself going to places, say in your house, or being somewhere, with no idea why you're there... almost symptomatic of dementia! So, you would think weed would have the OPPOSITE effect... though, it must do something to the neural networks in the brain and, thus, affect how parts of it communicate with each other. Maybe this is what Ozzy Osborne - ahead of his time? - meant by "Brain Salad Surgery".
