MSU researchers study the potential health benefits of cannabis use

A notable symptom of HIV is a neurocognitive disorder similar to Alzheimer’s. Pharmacology and toxicology professor Norbert Kaminski’s research looks into the possibility for certain chemicals found in cannabis to delay this mental decline.
