I feel so bad for anyone that either has it or has a loved one with Alzheimer's.

One of my closet friend's dad has it and has had it for a year, and he's told me how hard it's been for his family. I can't even imagine.

My MIL’s brother died with Dementia in February. He was 89. She is 86 and she has exhibited the early signs of dementia within the last 5 months.

A healthy sense of humor helps a ton with this. My dad says some of the craziest shite I’ve ever heard. All I can do is laugh hysterically. I think he likes it when I find him funny

That’s great baw. Happy for you. My grandmother died from Alzheimer’s and it was miserable. Heavy on the psychotic issues. Wish we had the medicinal option and known about it back then

That is awesome! Seriously, its not fun watching someone go through that. My grandmother had it and its horrible, but any little help is great.

I wonder if people who use it or less likely to get Alzheimer's? If so, I will be in good shape.

They have the drops as well, that might be something he can try. You just put it under your tongue and let it dissolve.

A friend of mine would give his mother (Alzheimers) the marijuana gummies also Kratom in capsule form (Don't even attempt the powdered Kratom) with positive results. I would be gradual with the Kratom dosage.

funny you should post this - I am in early stages - and the anger episodes is what really gets to me - cannot control it.

Earlier this week I heard someone talk about some CPB? medication that is supposed to take some of the edge off the fits.

Had just been talking about trying this with my family.

Anyone else with testimonials??

The various drugs they prescribed my dad years ago were more or less useless.
Wonder what the Marijuana would have been like for him
