Can THC Turn Back The Clock? Cannabis Reverses Brain Aging, Boosts Mental Capacity, New Study Suggests

Initially, THC boosted brain metabolism and synaptic protein levels, indicative of heightened cognitive processes. Subsequently, it shifted towards reducing metabolic activities in the body akin to the effects seen with caloric restriction or intensive exercise, known for their anti-aging benefits.

I’ve been stoned consistently since covid started. The only “sober” time is when I sleep. I don’t think younger, but most things don’t bother me. Want to improve your brain? Find consistent ways to reduce stress and perform them daily(like an hour walk outside). That will make you feel and think like a younger you.

Lmao benzinga the pinnacle of science news

There is a real study it’s referencing at least but these fucks are probably just trying to pump weed stocks

Nah, that just means it rewires stuff because of the experience.

Another drug that increases metabolism, protein, etc is cocaine. I have hunch these researchers already know what answer they want and are making crappy arguments to confirm themselves

No wonder Cheech&Chong, Willie Nelson, Snoop, and Lily Tomlin seem pretty young at heart/mind for their age

I’m not convinced. Unless the idiot stoners in my area are so fucking stupid that even when you work some science magic to make them smarter, they are still about as intelligent as a sack of dirt.

Maybe it de-aged their brain too far?

There’s also this study from 2017, if you want more info on this.

It’s amazing to me that they misspelled “reaserch” in the first bullet item.

It’s turning back to the time before they knew how to spell

Thorny_Insight ,

I like hearing this so it must be true

Angry_Autist ,

It can also be true independent of one’s liking it.

That little aphorism you just trotted out is a thought terminating cliche, something that contributes nothing and artificially ends discussion.

You chose it deliberately to denigrate the study with zero evidence, and 11 people agreed with you.

Disturbing for lemmy.

Found the basis for CNN and Fox News retaining viewership!

Is that why people that smoke every day act like fucking children?

That website gave me dementia.

When I was 17 I really turned back the clock. Almost every day we were reversing brain aging and boosting mental capacity.

It would explain the poor memory I get when I smoke. You can’t remember something that hasn’t happened yet, so it naturally increases your ability to remember more. (Taps forehead…)

Angry_Autist ,

it’s all the training on remembering where the fuckdamn lighter is…

I wonder if micro dosing can give the same effects? I am a control freak and don’t like to be high but worry about cognitive decline. Especially since I got long covid and fucked up my olfactory system. Brain damage sucks.

Angry_Autist ,

Most days I microdose by diluting extract in glycerine, roughly 1/4 of a joint paced out thru the day.

Works wonders for my EDS, and I don’t feel high at all and have a ton more executive control.

Can’t really reply on the cognitive decline but I’m pushing 50 and still in the top .5%

Long Covid did drop me a bit tho, but I guess when you start with a straight eight, losing two cylinders isn’t so bad.

It would be better to microdose lithium if you really don’t want to be high imo. 5-20mg range, can be intermittent (doses for bipolar are in the 100mg range and up). There’s already lithium in some water supplies and in foods like potatoes, so a small amount in a microdose normally doesn’t affect anyone negatively.

I will say over time your body will adjust to cannabis so if you microdose at night consistently before bed, you’ll just sleep it off anyway and eventually it won’t even get you high anymore.

The actual paper published is about smaller doses.

Same energy as “wine is good for you!” As it turns out, no. Wine is absolutely poisonous to you.

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

But taking 30 minutes out of your day to relax and unwind? That’s good for you.

JoMomma ,

That’s why I’m so smrt
