The possible causes of Alzheimer that might be reduced by CBD:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the brain and is characterized by the gradual loss of cognitive and neurological abilities.
Alzheimer's disease is progressive. It is the most common cause of dementia among adults and accounts for 60% to 80% of dementia cases.
Over time, it slowly destroys memory, thinking and social skills, and limits the patient’s ability to conduct a basic conversation. Eventually, patients lose ...
Why CBD helps reduce Alzheimer Symptoms and improve memory:
Cannabis may help treat or prevent Alzheimer’s because it contains cannabinoids that may reduce the amount of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain.
The most two common cannabinoids available in cannabis are CBD and THC. Both components have the same chemical formula and together they can help fight Alzheimer’s disease. The main difference between these two ingredients is that CBD has little or no effect on cognition compared to THC.
The cannabinoids ...
How CBD works for Alzheimer:
Cannabis is composed of many different cannabinoids. The main active ingredients include:
1- the psychoactive cannabinoid delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC
2- the non-psychoactive cannabidiol or CBD.
Cannabis works to treat or reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s by:
1- Reducing beta-amyloid levels: high amounts of beta-amyloid in the brain can aggregate to form plaques and stop cells from communicating. Plaque formation kills cells, triggering the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
Cannabinoids, mainly THC, work on blocking the ...
Different use of CBD for Alzheimer:
The most common ways people use cannabis used to treat glaucoma are either by smoking cannabis or ingesting CBD oil.
Nevertheless, cannabis can be used in the following forms:
1- Smoking: this is the quickest way to get the effect of cannabis. It can be rolled into a cigarette or smoked in a water pipe, either as herbal cannabis or hash. When it is inhaled, THC would need between 1 to 10 minutes to ...
CBD dosage for Alzheimer’s Disease:
There is no official recommended dosage of cannabis for Alzheimer’s disease. The dosing would vary depending on your condition, weight, sex, and age. It's important to always consult your doctor before using cannabis to avoid taking the wrong dose.
Given that the use of CBD is a relatively new treatment option, healthcare providers are still learning about the appropriate dosages of CBD and are trying to determine what dosing is safe and effective.
Nevertheless, doctors suggest that patients ...
Taking Cannabis for Alzheimer: precautions
Some precautions that should be taken into consideration while using cannabis. Below is a list of things one should not do if one has consumed cannabis:
- Drink alcohol: cannabis should not be mixed with alcohol since it may cause dizziness, drowsiness, and impaired judgment. Alcohol will increase these effects.
- Take medicinal drugs: cannabis can increase the effects of medications that cause drowsiness such as antihistamines, antidepressants, seizure medicine, and pain relievers among others.
- Consume ...
Taking Cannabis for Alzheimer: side effects
CBD and THC have the same chemical formula, but the atoms are arranged differently. This difference in atom position takes away the effect of feeling “high,” from CBD. Hence, CBD has little or no effect on cognition compared to THC.
Smoking cannabis might have some negative side effects. That is why doctors recommend CBD oil rather than smoking cannabis for medical purposes. These harmful effects might include developing:
- Respiratory problems: smoking cannabis can irritate the ...

Many scientists and medical experts have mixed beliefs about CBD for Alzheimer’s disease. On one hand, some medical experts believe that the cannabinoids in cannabis may be beneficial for Alzheimer’s disease. This is because THC and CBD prevent the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques that disrupt cell communication in the brain. THC and CBD also have
