Recent medical research suggests that the use of medical
marijuana could play a significant role in reducing the progression of
the dreaded Alzheimer's disease. Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC that is its
primary ingredient reduces and prevents the formation of neural protein
deposits deep within the brain. These deposits are primarily
responsible for this degenerative neural condition. Medical cannabis
that is supplied supplied by medical marijuana dispensaries control the
formation of these protein deposits or sticky amyloid plaques that
result in neuronal damage, inhibits memory and cognition, cause severe
loss of memory, and lead to confusion, irritability, mood swings,
spatial disorientation, and speech problems.
The progressive and
fatal Alzheimer's disease destroys brain cells, which results in loss of
memory, dementia, and disturbed motor skills along with diminished
intellect and social skills. Alzheimer's disease is among the top ten
causes of death in the elderly in the United States. Research indicates
that medical cannabis represents an effective drug treatment for
Alzheimer's disease and some of its symptoms.
While Medical
Marijuana (MMJ) is legal in some cities of the United States, it is
mandatory that all MMJ card holders obtain Medical Cannabis at legal the
dispensary. A MMJ dispensary can also guide a patient in the process of
obtaining their medical marijuana card.
Alzheimer's disease is a
degenerative condition that is marked by a continuous decline in memory
and intellectual facility. It is incurable and terminal and usually
affects people over 65 years of age. MMJ reduces the production of the
neural enzyme acetylcholinesterase that triggers the formation of
harmful protein deposits in the brain and lowers the level of the
important neurotransmitter called acetylcholine.
While alcohol,
heroin, cocaine and nicotine suppress and inhibit the growth of new
brain cells, recent clinical studies by the San Diego based Scripps
Research shows that marijuana promotes the growth of neurons. It is this
property that strongly supports its medicinal use along with controlled
and monitored distribution through various medical marijuana
dispensaries.
There are a number of prescription drugs too that
are known to stifle the growth of new brain cells. Apart from doing
exactly the opposite, medical cannabis from the dispensaries decreases
the growth of tumors and inflammation in clinical trials conducted on
nearly 50% of patients afflicted with lung cancer. Patients find immense
relief from their symptoms of Alzheimer's through a licensed dispensary
that supplies them with optimal doses of Medical Marijuana to cope with
their symptoms.
