the “high” feelings of the THC (aka Tetrahydrocannabinol) compound. THC has also shown medicinal benefits for patients, particularly those suffering from pain or inflammation, especially when combined with CBD for consumption by patients. 2) CBD is a sedative and reduces awareness or alertnessEven in high doses (600mg), CBD has not produced sedating effects in healthy humans.
What is more likely happening is that cannabis strains being used by a patient that have high levels of CBD also contain a potentially sedating terpene such as myrcene. 3) All CBD sources are the sameThere are multiple sources of CBD such as hemp, medical cannabis and isolate. Hemp-based CBD is plagued by mislabeling and recent studies have found that only 31% of 84 tested hemp-based CBD products were accurately labeled.
If you’re ordering CBD online, know that mislabeling is common, and look for products that have been third-party tested, meaning independent testing has shown the stated percentages are correct. 4) CBD is legal in all 50 StatesDespite CBD being sold in health food stores, tobacco shops, on Amazon, etc., and legalization by many US States, the Federal government has not legalized CBD-rich medical cannabis, even when there is little or no THC included.
Officials in three states (Idaho, South Dakota, and Nebraska) have said they still consider hemp-based CBD illegal. Medical-based CBD has been legalized in more than 30 states and is recreationally legal in a growing number of US locations. The US Federal Drug Administration recently has approved one CBD medication, Epidiolex, to treat rare forms of epilepsy in patients 2 years and older.
It can be inhaled or taken in pill format as an oil, to name just a few options. Most CBD patients prefer non-inhalable options, such as CBD-rich cannabis oil products that can be consumed orally (such as gel caps), squeezed under the tongue (with liquid dropper) or delivered via patches on the skin (like Band-Aids).
In cases of acute symptoms that require immediate attention, inhalation of concentrated CBD-rich cannabis effects can be felt within 2-3 minutes and last up to 1 or 2 hours. Inhalation can be achieved either through smoking of CBD-rich cannabis flower, or through increasingly popular vaporizer ‘pens’. Both forms are widely available at medical marijuana dispensaries.
Try to find “solvent free” CBD vape pens. Despite CBD being sold in health food stores, tobacco shops, on Amazon, etc., its legal status remains convoluted. The federal government has said since 2018 that CBD with less than 0.3%THC is federally legal. Individual states, however, have their own rules. CBD and medical cannabis is legally available to all adult users (21+) in Alaska, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington.
CBD and medical cannabis is legally available by prescription only in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. CBD is also available with limited THC content in states such as Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
In spite of the diverse legal status in different states, CBD can be purchased online and delivered legally to all 50 states. CBD can also be used legally in most states by residents of assisted living and memory care communities. Read more. The most common means to obtain CBD rich medical marijuana is from a state licensed dispensary.
For those that have trouble with transportation, another increasingly available option would include delivery-based options. However, while convenient for senior patients, these options are not available in every city or town. Finally, CBD can be purchased over the Internet and delivered to all 50 states. One reputable seller is CBDPure.
Given the lack of regulation in the CBD marketplace and given the challenges of self-reporting of the benefits with persons with dementia, getting the CBD dosage correct is especially challenging. Even though no prescription is required to purchase CBD, many doctors are still knowledgeable about the product and can provide dosage recommendations.
CBD dosage consultations can be arranged online with a doctor for about $60. This is a preferable approach to proceeding without professional medical input. However, it is unlikely one’s insurance would pay for these online dosage consultations. Should one proceed in testing CBD’s impact on a loved one’s dementia, it is suggested that one proceed with the gel cap form of administration as the levels of CBD are consistent (when compared to a dropper) and the act of swallowing a pill is familiar.
