Most people with the disease are diagnosed after age 65. If it's diagnosed before then, it's generally referred to as early onset Alzheimer's disease.With the legalization of marijuana expected to take effect this summer, many people are interested in learning more about whether or not cannabis-derived products could be beneficial for those with dementia. Alzheimer Society of Calgary's team has received an increasing number of questions on this topic. First, it's helpful to clarify some terms. Cannabis is the formal name of the plant often referred to as 'marijuana.' Many different types of products can be derived from parts of the cannabis plants, including hemp (sterilized cannabis seeds, fibre extracted from the stems). What is frequently referred to as 'marijuana' are the viable seeds, leaves and/or flowers of cannabis plant.Cannabis plants contain several active compounds, collectively referred to as cannabinols, in varying amounts. The best-known of these compounds are THC (tetrahydrocannbinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). THC is the compound responsible for many of the popularly associated effects of cannabis, including a sense of euphoria or high. Strains of cannabis with large concentrations of THC are often prescribed to those suffering from severe nausea during chemotherapy treatment, along with those who have lack of appetite due to HIV/AIDS or other medical conditions. Alternatively, CBD does not appear to have the same intoxicating effects as THC, so it is often used in an oil-based form to treat chronic health conditions, especially childhood epilepsy unresponsive to medical treatment. There is some evidence that CBD may be useful for a variety of other medical conditions, including severe chronic pain, cancer-associated pain, anxiety and depression.Several studies have examined both the effects of THC and CBD on dementia, while others have looked at the effect of cannabinoids in general. The few clinical trials that have taken place on the effects of cannabis for people affected by dementia have looked at whether the drug can help manage some symptoms of the condition. Symptoms such as agitation and aggression could, in theory, be counteracted by the effects of cannabis or its components. Clinical trials have assessed the effects of cannabinoids, including THC and synthetic cannabinoids such as nabilone, on behavioural symptoms of dementia.You will get more information in this book.
