Cannabis for Anti-aging?
Overview
Wikipedia - Aging (British English) or aging (American English) is the process of becoming older. It represents
the accumulation of changes in a person over time. In humans, aging
refers to a multidimensional process of physical, psychological, and social change.
Reaction
time, for example, may slow with age, while knowledge of world events
and wisdom may expand. Ageing is an important part of all human
societies reflecting the biological changes that occur, but also
reflecting cultural and societal conventions.
Ageing is among the largest known risk factors for most human diseases. Roughly 100,000 people worldwide die each day of age-related causes.
