New research published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s disease has added to the claims that cannabis, or especially the ingredient CBD, might help slow, stop or even reverse dementia in mice.
Don't do this because this is not human research. Human research will never occur because we have absolute idiots in the federal legislature keeping marijuana as a Schedule I drug with no chance it is having any good use at all while classified as that.
If it seems to come to that I will be toking daily, living in a legal marijuana state, Michigan, is great.

Opinion: The age of the ‘silver stoners’ is nigh
If you were thinking about spending your final years high as a
kite—because, let’s face it, why not?—here’s a promising bit of news.
You might be well advised to do so—on doctor’s orders.
New research published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s disease has added to the claims that cannabis, or especially the ingredient CBD, might help slow, stop or even reverse dementia.
Just a two-week course of CBD improved the symptoms and slowed the cognitive decline in laboratory mice with dementia, reported researchers at the medical and dental colleges of Augusta University in Augusta,Ga. The CBD improved the amount of two key proteins in their brains by about 600% and 900%, the university says.
This
isn’t the first scientific study suggesting cannabis might help fight
dementia. Through 2019, a review of multiple other studies found data pointing the same way.To
be sure, when it comes to treating Alzheimer’s, there’s mostly
uncertainty. The experts warn that nothing has been “proven” and
everything is speculative.
The Alzheimer’s Association warns
that cannabis and cannabis-derived products “are not approved…for the
treatment or management of Alzheimer’s or other dementia” by the U.S.
government. The Food & Drug Administration has already gone after CBD companies for marketing their products as a treatment for Alzheimer’s.
But
telling people with a terminal illness not to try a treatment because
it might not work is like telling a man who’s just fallen out of an
airplane not to pull on the ripcord because, after all, you can’t be
certain the parachute will open.
It shows an ignorance of basic game theory, or indeed logic.
