My wife is stage 7 alzheimers. Back in stage 6 she became extremely distressed during all her waking hours. Verge of tears, the dog just died kind of distress. As her only caregiver it was dragging me down with her.
We tried anti-anxiety, anti-psychotics, anti depressants, with no relief.
Talking with the doc I mentioned I was looking at CBD. He was of the opinion that anything was worth a try at that point. Went to the local dispensary and decided to try some THC edibles.
The transformation to a calm happy person, even if it is only for 4 hrs or so is remarkable.
We found you really need to try different strains and doses.
Sativa made here anxiety much worse.
Indica works for her. I tried seperate CBD edibles and they negated the positive effects of THC for her. 5-10g each day is where we are at.
She has been stoned every day for the better part of a year now.
Something to consider if your dealing with dementia or need to in the future.

I think when you're faced with the issues of alzheimers you do what works. I can see indica helping as it seems to be a relaxant.

Good luck and Peace.
