Marijuana fights Alzheimer's picturesAdvanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 14 image entries
Contest Directions:  [
Researchers in California
have discovered that marijuana helps in preventing and fighting
Alzheimer's disease more effectively than commercially marketed drugs. The researchers said the discovery could
lead to the creation of new drugs to fight Alzheimer's. ]
First let me
say this: The researchers behind this brilliant discovery have either
been stoned "when it hit them", or truly made the
breakthrough discovery of the century. Provided that the century
has just started though, and the research comes from California, it's
probably both. So the news should have been titled "stoned researches
make breakthrough discovery." What matters is now it's official -
marijuana is good for your health, and can help you prevent and fight
Alzheimer's. So next time you see someone smoking pot - he's not
getting high, he's preventing Alzheimer's. Soon enough you'll hear
around "Gee, I think grandpa's memory is not so sharp these days."
"Yes, he's out of pot this week."
And what matters is - many of us have been preventing Alzheimer's for
years - we just didn't know about it. And the fact that we still don't
have Alzheimer's is the best proof that marijuana really works wonders.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop one of the following:
seniors smoking marijuana to prevent/fight
Alzheimer's; magazine/newspaper covers based on the discovery above;
new drugs with marijuana to fight Alzheimer's. If you use
politicians/celebrities in your entries, you need to show them as
seniors - age them.

| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | A new research report demonstrates that the active ingredient in marijuana may actual prevent the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Certainly, this would likely be received as good news to aging hippies. The Scripps Research Institute in California found that the active ingredient in marijuana -- delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, which is also known as THC -- actually may be beneficial in staving off the effects of Alzheimer's in some patients. People afflicted with Alzheimer's end up suffering from memory loss, diminished language skills and a whole host of other related problems. Prior to this date, marijuana has been used to assist in the treatment of glaucoma and is said to be beneficial in reducing the side effects associated with both AIDS and cancer treatment regimens. |
