- Alternative Health
On my mom’s journey through dementia, we were forced to look outside-the-box for solutions to her extremely agitated behavior and crippling anxiety.
We learned there was going to be a Medical Cannabis Symposium in Northern California called “Cannabis as Medicine, Changing the Face of Aging” produced by Home Instead Senior Services, Sonoma County and Hospice services of St. Joseph’s Hospital. Two “traditional organizations” that are working within the U.S. allopathic medical system to amplify the message that cannabis helps dementia. Tricky business when the best medicine for many conditions near the end of life remains on the Controlled Substances Act Schedule I of Drugs, making cannabis inaccessible in any Federally funded institutions like Nursing Homes, VA Facilities, and hospitals.
The designation of “Schedule I of Drugs” refers to “drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Some examples of Schedule I drugs are: heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote.”
Despite cannabis medicine being legal in more than 2/3rds of U.S. States, in order for people living with dementia to get some relief today, we need to get cannabis de-scheduled, and open up the Schedule I of Drugs for research.
Contact your Senators, Representatives and the President to let them know that you want to de-schedule cannabis and open up the Schedule I for research at the very least.
