Dr. Juan Sanchez-Ramos, a researcher and professor of neurology at the University of South Florida, said studies show marijuana may help reduce symptoms like insomnia and irritability in Alzheimer’s patients, improve motor symptoms from Parkinson’s, diminish arthritic pain and combat sleep disorders — conditions that are all common among older adults.
Too high a dose of THC can cause confusion and short-term memory problems in older adults, however, Sanchez-Ramos said.
“THC is safe for older people and won’t cause confusion or disorientation at modest and low doses,” he said.
