Did you know that cannabis may help support brain health, memory, and mental clarity—especially in those living with Alzheimer’s or other neurodegenerative conditions?
Studies have shown that THC acts as a neuroprotectant, helping to reduce inflammation and protect brain cells from damage. In fact, the U.S. government holds a patent (US Patent #6630507) on cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants—yes, really! The same plant that’s been stigmatized for decades was quietly recognized by the government for its healing potential. Let that sink in.
CBD also plays a role by helping to regulate mood, reduce anxiety, and improve overall mental balance—often without the “high.” Together, THC and CBD can create a balanced approach to wellness that supports cognitive function and emotional calm.
Terpenes and Strains to Know:
Pinene – Known to promote alertness and memory retention
Limonene – Uplifting, mood-boosting, and may support mental focus
Linalool – Calming, helps reduce agitation and stress-related memory disruption
Strains to explore: Harlequin, ACDC, Jack Herer, Ringo’s Gift, and Blue Dream (just to name a few!)
While cannabis is not a cure for Alzheimer’s, it may provide supportive relief—improving quality of life, reducing agitation, boosting appetite, and helping loved ones feel more present and at peace.
Let’s continue to break the stigma, ask questions, and explore all-natural ways to protect the mind and spirit.
