This study Given the importance of investigating alternative therapies to delay, explanatory literature is needed It prevents the progression of the disease and reduces the side effects of currently used conventional drugs. Alzheimer's Research suggests that cannabinoids may have therapeutic potential for affected individuals. Infection with this disease slows down neurodegeneration and speeds up the formation of new neurons.
