What to know about the Medical Use of Cannabis and Elders

"Cannabis. I have heard so much about cannabis. That cannabis cures everything from getting old and having wrinkles and feeling blue or I've also heard that it cures dementia." Let me just say right here, it doesn't cure dementia.

Watch this video to learn about the medical use of cannabis, CBD vs THC, how cannabis can be used and why you shouldn't give it to your loved one with dementia. There are other options available for elders.

If this is the first time you watch my videos, I am Dr Liz and I am a board-certified geriatric specialist. Over the years I have worked with thousands of families from all over the country to help elders through the aging process. Families are typically in crisis and don’t know where to turn when loved ones have dementia, Alzheimer’s, medication problems, or any complications from aging. I feel we must take away medications that “zombify” our elders and adjust meds to get our loved ones back to the happy, productive people they once were. Do you have questions or concerns? Don’t panic. Dr Liz Geriatrics is your resource for everything and anything you need to know about aging. I am so glad you stopped by and remember we are here to help.
