Several years before my father died, he swore off marijuana. When his cognitive decline (he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s) started getting bad, he started up again. And it seemed to help.

SCD was a self-reported increase in confusion or memory loss in the past year
"I definitely cannot recall ever feeling better than I do right now.
But fuck it, this survey is too long. I’m taking a nap. Right after I finish this half gallon of Bluebell. "

My mom has Parkinson’s and I’m trying to get her to test using some edibles in small doses. Not the least of which because she has a really hard time sleeping quite often.
The thing is that she’s of an era and was raised in such a way that the idea of ingesting marijuana goes against everything that was drilled into her head when she was younger. My concern would be that her hangups around that would make her paranoid, even with s̶a̶t̶v̶i̶a̶ indica* (which was my recommendation to my step dad).

I’m self-reporting a lack of cognitive decline right now.

Can’t find the source now, but I recall a study showing that, when subjects learned items while stoned, on later recall tests they scored slightly better stoned than straight. (Of course, both of those groups scored worse than those who learned sober. I guess the take-home is, if you were stoned in class, might as well be stoned for the exam.)

This works when tripping balls, or so I hear from a friend.

I smoked pot daily for many years. About 14 years ago I was in a very intense meeting at work when I began to visualize a giant blue genie on a circus train. Despite the mental imagery (like a dream in waking life) I continued to run the meeting as though nothing was happening. This happened to me many times over the next few years before I was diagnosed with partial epilepsy that manifested as auras. At the time, I thought how great it was that I learned to ‘maintain’ while being stoned, and that that ability helped me out through the auras. I’m on meds now with no auras.

Boomer, here.
are not Boomers unless they are 60+.
Me? I can’t wait until I retire so I can see if the research is correct. I’m not risking my employment now. After I’m retired? Ask me in 858 days.

Sure that you didn’t mean to type indica? While these categories have rightfully been called into question, strains labelled indica are generally associated with relaxing, comfy feelings (as opposed to “edgier,” more psychedelic sativas). Not the kind of thing you’d want to mix-up – especially in this case!

I did, yea. Thanks for pointing that out.

I remember this study when I was in university in the 1970s; there was a brief panic among some of my friends, who quickly realized they only need to be stoned for the exams as well.
