Marijuana Ingredient May ‘Cure’ Alzheimer’s

[mesquite]

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of the major components in cannabis. However, unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and actually seems to counteract the marijuana high.

Now a team from Neuroscience Research Australia has published the first evidence suggesting that CBD may reverse some of the cognitive impairments of Alzheimer’s disease.

Thanks for the important info!
I just wanted to added some facts: the two most well-known cannabinoids are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). For decades, researchers have known that THC is responsible for the famous cannabis high. I personally try to escape THC as much as possible and deal with medical marijuana only .

As far as I have read, Cannabis oil with very low levels of THC is likely one of the more effective alternative treatments for Alzheimer's disease. A family member of mine has recently obtained a medical marijuana card (more info on dr-weedy.com/medical-marijuana-card-california-ca/ ) to deal with Alzheimer's disease.

I've been buying CBD oil (no THC) from Amazon. It's legal in all 50 states. I am trying it on one of my grown kids to see if it will help his autism. He's only been using it a couple of weeks. I haven't noticed any changes yet.
