CBD for Seniors - 12 Things to Know When Trying CBD or Medicinal Cannabis to Ease Symptoms of Aging & Improve Brain Health
You’ve heard CBD is great for many of the conditions seniors face as they age, but you’re not sure where or how to start this new therapy from the highly stigmatized cannabis plant.
How and why does CBD help seniors and people living with dementia? What is the difference between CBD and THC? Can I use too much? How do I know what cannabis product to use and what is my dose? Is CBD really legal? Do I have to smoke it?
​
These questions and more keep many seniors from finding relief from the symptoms of aging with CBD and medical cannabis, CBD for Seniors is a short primer to help guide you in trying CBD or other medical cannabis for you or your loved one.
​
In this short book, we’ve extracted the most essential information that we have learned over our ten-year journey using medicinal cannabis for people in relationship with dementia. When our education about Alzheimer’s and related dementias began in 2010, we were average working people thrust into family caregiving, and through that experience, we became fierce advocates and educators.
