Cannabis Helps Dementia

Rose M Cain, FNP, MPH, JD - Family Nurse Practitioner Founder Creating Well Being, budheals.com

People ask me all the time “How can I get medical cannabis for my loved one at a facility?” It depends, there are many variables.  * What kind of facility? Medicare, medicaid, private pay? * What State? Today we’re having a conversation with MA Family Nurse Practitioner Rose Cain about how we might encourage our loved one’s facility to implement a medical cannabis program, or even natural, full spectrum, hemp CBD. Rose Cain is an Army Veteran and has been a Family Nurse Practitioner for over 40 years. Nurse Rose has cared for patients in acute, primary and urgent care, geriatrics, home, hospice and nursing home settings.   Nurse Rose brings a unique perspective to the conversation because she also practiced Elder Law and Estate planning for 20 years, and she’s been a Professional Geriatric Care Manager. She’s a member of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians and American Cannabis Nurses Association. Since 2018, her practice, Creating Well Being has been providing access to medical cannabis certification for patients in Massachusetts and is expanding. Creating Well being can be found at budheals.com From www.budheals.com [https://budheals.com/] "Rose established CWB in 2018 to provide access to medical marijuana certification for patients in Massachusetts. She has been an Family Nurse Practitioner for over 40 years and has cared for patients in acute, primary and urgent care, geriatrics, home , hospice and nursing home settings. Rose is also an Army veteran and is committed to addressing the unique physical and mental health issues facing vets- including PTSD and chronic pain.

Army Colonel (Ret) Dr. Philip Blair, MD - Plant Medicine for Dementia and More

In this episode we speak with retired Army Colonel, Dr. Philip Blair [http://www.drphilipblair.com/], MD, a Family Physician, complex disease management consultant and remarkable cannabis medicine expert in the Pacific Northwest providing services globally.  After graduating from West Point he trained as an Army Family Physician, and served as a combat doctor during the 1st Gulf War. He retired from the Army as a Colonel after serving as a medical officer on three continents. In 2014 Dr. Blair began studying, treating, and lecturing about the human endocannabinoid system and the non-impairing parts of the plant, including cannabidiol, CBD.  Dr. Blair believes that Endocannabinoid System disorders are the root cause of many chronic medical problems, and his goal is to restore quality of life and health using diet, exercise, appropriate medications, and non-impairing, herbal nutritional supplements including the plant terpene, beta-caryophyllene, in a product derived from hops. You can find links in the description. Clinically, Dr. Blair has treated thousands of patients with CBD and has seen remarkable results with people living with dementia. He has a passion about treating dementia and advocating for the use of cannabinoids in the treatment and prevention of neuro degenerative conditions of all kinds.  Dr. Blair encourages the use of cannabinoids and terpenes to improve patient care, reduce stress, improve behavior, and prevent staff burnout. He reminds us that CBD has great benefits for caregivers as well. We thank him for his time and continued work bringing plant medicine back for treating multiple conditions including dementia. Find his products at Blair Medical Group.com [https://www.blairmedicalgroup.shop/product/bcplus-oral-liposomal-drops-60ml/1?aff=5] or follow our links in the description. Did you know that dementia disproportionately impacts women, black, and latino people? Did you know that cannabis was made illegal because of racist policy?  Lives are still being ruined because of prohibitionist propaganda even after cannabis started to become decriminalized, and are still to this day. Racial groups targeted by these draconian policies seem to have lots of cultural stigma remaining that prevents them from making use of plant medicine. 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. We must end the Drug War. 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.
