There can be benefits for seniors who enjoy cannabis (containing THC) to also take pure CBD. Like all related discussions, it’s prudent to speak with a physician (we are not), before getting started as they may have feedback on whether it’s a good idea, dosage, etc.
CBD is believed to deliver a bunch of potential health benefits including:
- Pain relief
- Reduce inflammation
- Better sleep
- Less anxiety
Seniors often take numerous (pharmaceuticals) medications for a myriad of conditions. Some folks may wish to explore natural alternatives as a way to reduce their reliance on prescription drugs.
A lot has been written on the “entourage effect,” whereby the different compounds in cannabis work together to produce greater therapeutic benefits than any single compound would alone. The combination of cannabis (with THC) and pure CBD might lead seniors (or anyone) to experience a wider range of therapeutic benefits or find that the effects are more intensive.
If you plan to buy pure CBD, do your research and purchase a quality brand.
