i dunno about Alzhiemers... but i remember reading something in FreeWeed magazine, about an elderly woman with MS, she didnt smoke but she grew weed and made weed brownies and took it that way, u would never have thought she had MS... until she got busted for growing and whilst in the cells waiting for a court date her symptoms grew worse and worse, until eventually they had to release her and let her off without charge (i think anyway, she may have been fined or something but i cant remember and i dunno where the magazine is now)... if i find the mag i'll type up the article here for ya's
