Marijuana has been shown to diminish the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease by improving the functioning of the impaired brain.

• Alzheimer’s patients feel restless, confused, often without appetite, hopeless, insomniac, agitated, angry, isolated and depressed.
•  It costs a tremendous amount of money to take care of an Alzheimer’s patient because there is no effective treatment and the patient requires constant care.
• The number of people with Alzheimer’s keeps growing and will become epidemic in just a few generations.

ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE LESSENED WITH MARIJUANA THERAPY, BUT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT?

The brain of a person with Alzheimer’s disease is blocked with years of sediment. Its oxygen supply is reduced. It is actually losing mass and shrinking, causing messages to get lost or garbled. Believe it or not!!  Scientific experiments have PROVEN that one of the marijuana “cannabinoids”- stops the build-up of brain plaque. This knowledge is actually three years old! But no one is reporting the potential benefits. (2005, Journal of Neuroscience, research conducted in

Marijuana benefits the victim of Alzheimer’s disease through relaxation of muscular tension which allows for deeper breathing, better circulation, ease of digestion and greater brain function. Feelings of restlessness are transformed as tension in the muscles is released, leading to a restful mood. Marijuana Therapy slows down the breathing which in turn relaxes the patient – physically and mentally. The agitation and poor attitude of Alzheimer’s victims are lifted with Marijuana Therapy because the helpless and hopeless feelings that accompany poor oxygenation and tension in the body are lessened. Marijuana enhances the appetite so that the person with Alzheimer’s disease feels like eating – a complete turn-about from the non-interest in food so common with the Alzheimer’s patient. Being motivated to eat, having a positive attitude, enjoying tasting one’s food – all work toward lessening frustration.  Anger dissipates with the deep breathing that accompanies Marijuana Therapy. Of course, depression is lifted. Yes Marijuana Tea, patch, smoke, cake could help our elderly. Why are they being denied? There is no modern, safe, effective treatment for Alzheimer’s – let us give Marijuana Therapy its rightful place as a superior medicament, an uplifting and safe recreant, and even a nurturer of the spiritual realm that defines a humane civilization.
