I wonder how mad our dad would be if she knew that the candy she so looks forward to nibbling on every afternoon was really medical cannabis.
- Unluckyly, our dad suffers from dementia and I’m not so sure that he’d even understand if I told him.
She might because she had such a pitfall reaction to when medical marijuana was legalized. Dad was sure that this was the beginning and that all the people would be hooked on smack within a month if medical marijiuana got voted in. These afternoons, under a doctor’s supervision, our dad is treating with medical cannabis. This is because the medical cannabis really helps him stay calm and peaceful when she gets confused or lost. During those episodes, as her dementia worsened, she would get almost hostile because she was so afraid. But with the cannabis gummies that I deliver him a nibble of each afternoon, that is not the case. I’m not even sure that the medical cannabis isn’t giving him more clarity moments as well. It appears that since he’s been treating with the cannabis gummies, he’s really be more with me. But I can’t be sure. Regardless, the fact that she is mellow and isn’t so scared is superb enough for me. I want dad to not suffer at this period in her life and her illness and medical cannabis is helping me with that. And for me, that’s all that matters. My dad sort of seems to assume that he’s in this position and it’s not going to get much better. So if her cannabis gummies deliver him such satisfaction and frees him of terror, I say more power to medical cannabis.
