Plant-Derived Cannabis Extracts Decrease Symptoms Of Dementia Says New Study

Another study published in 2017, led by Professor David Schubert and researchers at the Salk Institute in California, found overwhelming evidence that THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids are beneficial in getting rid of proteins in the brain that cause dementia. This protein, called amyloid beta, was believed to appear in the brain prior to Alzheimer’s symptoms. But they found that administering cannabinoids helped in effectively removing it.
