National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. 2017. In this systematic review of medical studies, researchers confirm the substantial evidence for cannabis as an effective treatment option for many conditions.

The study concluded that an oral cannabis extract with THC/CBD, in higher dosages than in other studies, was well tolerated and greatly improved behavior problems, rigidity, and daily care in severely demented patients. Behavior problems went down by 40%, psychotropic medications were eliminated in half of the women studied and overall, they were far easier for the staff to manage.
