Medical marijuana is any part of the marijuana
plant that you use to treat health problems . People use it to get relief from their symptoms, not to try to get high.

Elderly people should smoke POT to prevent memory loss, study claims: Cannabis revived brains of old mice - and could do the same in humans

  • A study by researchers in Germany found THC in cannabis slowed memory loss

  • Old mice regained their speed of memory and learning after consuming pot 

  • The researchers are set to start human trials this year using the drug, just 2 months after Germany legalized medical marijuana

  • It comes as countries around the world race to understand the drug as medicine 

 

Cannabis could help prevent memory loss in the elderly, a new study has found.

Researchers in Germany, who are set to begin human trials later this year, say the drug may even help delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease by slowing the brain's natural ageing process.

The mental power of older mice improved dramatically after they were given THC, the psychoactive part of marijuana that makes users 'high'.

In fact, their brain connections in the hippocampus - which controls learning, memory and emotions - were firing as well as those of young adults.

It's hoped the same may apply to humans, with trials expected to begin this year.

CBD and your pets

Best strain for depression

Scientific research has shown that CBD can benefit pets because animals make endocannabinoids in their body like humans. These receptors work with physiological issues in their bodies. Cannabinoids (CBD) can activate this system and be used to help treat certain diseases and symptoms in animals without toxic side effects.

Out of many active compounds found in marijuana, THC and CBD are the most prominent. THC is the psychoactive compound that gives people a familiar “high”. THC can be toxic to animals and we do not recommend giving THC to them. CBD is nontoxic, not psychoactive and provides numerous health benefits. CBD that is used to treat pets contains no THC and can be used safely on your furry loved ones.

Even though we cannot legally make claims of CBD’s health benefits, infused edibles and tinctures are available, and reportedly effective at treating a variety of pet issues. Such as

  • -Reduction of Inflammation

  • -Promotion of bone growth

  • -Arthritis

  • -Seizures

  • -Improvement of circulation

  • -Stress and anxiety

  • -Pain reduction

  • -Nausea

  • -Appetite stimulation

  • -Blood sugar regulation

  • -Aggression and phobia reduction

  • -Reduction in degenerative animal diseases

CBD oil can be a huge benefit for people and pets alike.

The answer is: no, there is no single best marijuana strain that would deal with this condition.There are plenty of factors that determine the usability of each cannabis specimen.

First and foremost, it all depends on the time you want to consume marijuana. If you feel like nothing good is going to happen from the very beginning of the day, a good sativa with a reasonable ratio of CBD to THC should do the trick. However, keep in mind that when facing a day full of work, the levels of Tetrahydrocannabinol should not breach the critical border. Otherwise, the strain will make you feel anxious and insecure, leaving you with even more burden on your mind.

This brings us to the second-most important aspect of using marijuana strains for fighting depression. It’s very easy to get too stoned with cannabis – especially if you’re a beginner – so it’s best to have a high-CBD strain close to you. This way, you will counter the effects of THC and the calmness should return within a couple of minutes.

On the other hand, sativa strains are not particularly recommended for  night use, and since depression is followed by insomnia, you’ll certainly need a good indica. Indica strains are known for their ability to provide the body with relaxation; therefore, it improves the quality of our sleep, which is crucial in terms of ensuring proper regeneration.

To wrap it all up, we have one more piece of advice for you: visit your trusted  therapist and tell him or her about your problem. Getting professional support will help you understand your condition from a broader perspective, and if you’re lucky enough to have a weed-friendly doctor, it’s all the better. Together, you will work it out and pick some of the best marijuana strains for fighting depression.
