> Memory performance decreases with increasing age. Cannabis can reverse these ageing processes in the brain. This was shown in mice by scientists at the University of Bonn with their colleagues at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel).<p>Directly contradicts previous reports of memory loss from extended Cannabis use.[1]<p>Who do you believe? It's starting to sound like those 'studies' and 'research' on coffee, eggs, wine, etc. 1 day it's good for you, another day, it kills you.<p>[1] Source: See the first few results from reputed sources in this search => <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=cannabis+memory+loss" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=cannabis+memory+loss</a>
<i></i> Caution: wildly speculative theory <i></i><p>I've had a pet theory that hallucinogens have an effect on the brain analogous to database refactoring.

Maybe older minds have database tables with too many columns and need psychedelic experiences to normalize their DB (ie. mental schema)?
