In Israel medical marijuana is provided for nursing home patients. It helps with appetite, anxiety, depression and CBD helps with aches and pain. Pain improvement is only seen with continued use and best CBD is from cannabis, hemp is commercial grade of plant, used for rope & things & CBD quality is less. Look at what it is extracted with: grain alcohol or something toxic. You can't OD on CBD, but of course THC can get too intense at higher doses and cause paranoia, etc.. Edibles are particularly good for pain as they affect the whole body. BEWARE MILLIGRAMS of THC!! Edibles are not always accurately marked, so start with no more than 5mg and wait 2hrs before deciding if you want to add more. It may kick in sooner depending on your metabolism, but don't assume that! I use 5mg edibles for Fibromyalgia pain & PTSD. I had a nephew who smoked for appetite and used high dose CBD for multiple myeloma cancer. He gained weight and extended his life about 6mo's because of it.

Yes, carefully grown ( no heavy metals, pesticides) and carefully extracted (no residual solvents, chemicals) CBD can be quite beneficial for our senior citizens. Good for dementia, Alzheimer’s, “old age”. No drug to drug interactions. Dosage is when gain benefit, so titrate up by doubling dose: 2 mg to 4 mg to 8 mg, etc.

Start with 1 mg, CBD oil under the tongue. Hold for two minutes. If no negative or positive effect then you can virtually double the dose until you see an effect. Try up to 6 mg twice a day for the first three days. If no benefit then double the dose to 12 mg. After two weeks if you found your dose then you can always try to titrate down.
