Initially, THC boosted brain metabolism and synaptic protein levels, indicative of heightened cognitive processes. Subsequently, it shifted towards reducing metabolic activities in the body akin to the effects seen with caloric restriction or intensive exercise, known for their anti-aging benefits.

Most days I microdose by diluting extract in glycerine, roughly 1/4 of a joint paced out thru the day.

Works wonders for my EDS, and I don't feel high at all and have a ton more executive control.

Can't really reply on the cognitive decline but I'm pushing 50 and still in the top .5%

Long Covid did drop me a bit tho, but I guess when you start with a straight eight, losing two cylinders isn't so bad.
