Initially, our mom just couldn’t cope with the idea that he was experiencing symptoms of dementia.
It took a concerted effort just to get his to the dentist for testing.
Once it was confirmed that he had dementia, the only good news was that it wasn’t an aggressive kind of dementia. Still, it was awful news. And now, after more intense cajoling, both of us have gotten our mother a medical marijuana card. The information both of us received once mom was maintained was that cannabis can entirely help those with dementia. First, it should be stated that there is no cure for dementia plus using cannabis particularly won’t make the dementia go away. But medical weed does indeed help her. And it helps his in such a particularly immense way. While he was reluctant to use cannabis, once he did, he saw immediate benefit. That’s because that terror that he was feeling when he would know disoriented was tremendously eased. The folks at the weed shop had told us that this would be the first benefit that both of us would notice. There would be an immediate easing of the anxiety buddyd with dementia. This was indeed what he experienced. And those people at the weed shop were just so charming. They were particularly good about showing our mom that he didn’t have to smoke pot to get what he needed. In fact, our mother just prefers the cannabis gummies that he takes each day. I’m also seeing that there are less periods of confusion as well. So while it’s not a cure, medical weed has provided a great deal of quality of life for our mother.
