Initially, our mom just couldn’t cope with the system that she was experiencing symptoms of dementia.
It took a concerted effort just to get her to the dentist for testing.
Once it was confirmed that she had dementia, the only nice news was that it wasn’t an aggressive kind of dementia. Still, it was terrible news. And now, after more intense cajoling, both of us have gotten our mother a medical marijuana card. The information both of us earned once mom was inspected was that cannabis can entirely help those with dementia. First, it should be stated that there is no cure for dementia plus using cannabis actually won’t make the dementia go away. But medical weed does indeed help her. And it helps her in such a honestly giant way. While she was reluctant to use cannabis, once she did, she saw immediate benefit. That’s because that terror that she was feeling when she would assume 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 she experienced. And those people at the weed shop were just so attractive. They were honestly nice about showing our mom that she didn’t have to smoke pot to get what she needed. In fact, our mother just likes the cannabis gummies that she 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.
