More studies are needed to fully understand the efficacy & safety of these compounds. https://neurosciencenews.com/thc-amyloid-beta-alzheimers-4598/ https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/marijuana-alzheimers-brain-cells/ https://www.sciencealert.com/marijuana-compound-thc-removes-toxic-alzheimer-protein-from-brain https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34204237/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8234911/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8472755/
