What are the effects of marijuana given to people with severe dementia ?
Patient: Hello, I am currently looking at the effects of mariujana given to people with severe dementia.  Mu husband is in a nursing home in high care however he is in severe pain every time he moves or I'd dressed etc.  My son talked about the relief the drugs may give my husband but I am dubious of how it would affect him.  Do you have any knowledge of t his treatment. Doctor: Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Medical marijuana is currently only given to cancer patients. There are theories about its useful effects on dementia and Alzheimer's patients, but it is still being researched and hasnt reached clinical trials yet, as such to give your husband marijuana, is something that may not work out. So I recommend you follow the conventional treatment till the research has progressed and has proven the uses of marijuana.I hope this answered your question.
