In in-vitro experiments THC at extremely high concentrations, which could not be reached with commonly consumed doses, caused inhibition of plaque formation, the cause of Alzheimer's disease, better than currently approved drugs.[15]
THC may also be an effective anti-cancer treatment, with studies showing tumor reduction in mice, conducted in 1975.[16]
In early May 2007, British Doctors released a study that linked THC to psychotic episodes (paranoid delusions and hallucinations) in healthy test subjects. Another study conducted at Yale University showed similar results in healthy subjects, but also included a schizophrenic group. The effect on the schizophrenics was so profound that it merited cancellation of the study due to fear that it would be unethical to continue. [17]
