Can CBD help with Memory?

It is important to note that as of the writing of this article, CBD oil has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for improved memory function or cognitive function. CBD is best used as dietary supplements, and should be cleared with your health care professional before beginning a daily routine.

What is CBD Oil?

CBD stands for cannabidiol and CBD oil is produced from the cannabis sativa plant, or hemp plant, which is grown to be high in cannabinoids and low in THC. There are over 100 cannabinoids in these hemp cannabis plants, with CBD being the most popular, and the most scientific research. CBD use has become wildly popular as an all natural remedy to conditions such as anxiety, sleep issues, inflammation, and seizure disorders. Although CBD oil is legal there is further research and clinical trials that must be completed to the impact within CBD cannabis users. To learn more about how CBD is produced please read our article on how CBD is made.

Recent Research of CBD treatment

Cognitive decline and memory problems have been studied for years, but CBD's effect on this process is something new. The effects of CBD on the human brain as it relates to long-term memory, and short -term memory are discussed in recent studies by the National Institutes for health, and the use of CBD does look promising. Further studies are required to draw conclusive results, but the good news is current research is being done all the time.

Memory Function

Memory function is the processes that are used by humans to acquire, store, retain, and later retrieve information. When memory functioning is working properly, these cognitive functions are performing their memory tasks. When one of these processes fails, it can have a detrimental effect, and lead to short term or long term memory impairments.

Memory Deficits

Memory deficits can be mild such as forgetting where you parked or what time an appointment is. The can also be very serious such as with alzheimer's disease, dementia, or traumatic brain injury. There are also deficits induced by outside influences that impairs memory processing such as alcohol or marijuana cannabis use.

Clinical Trials

Research studies by the Salk intitute in found "Cannabinoids remove plaque-forming Alzheimer’s proteins from brain cells" which is promising.

Additionally, in an article from Frontiers in Pharmacology, researchers suggest that "CBD is perfectly placed to treat a number of pathologies typically found in AD"

CBD Effects

So what is the correlation, or how exactly might CBD help with cognitive functioning? CBD is a phyto cannabinoid, meaning it comes from a plant, the cannabis plant. The human body has an endocannabinoid system, meaning our bodies currently produce their own cannabinoids. The purpose of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) is to keep the body in homeostasis, or ensure balance and harmony within the body. The ECS helps to support the central nervous system, immune system, and other bodily functions.

All humans have cannabinoid receptors, also referred to as CB1 receptors, and the endocannabinoids we produce work with these receptors to keep us healthy. When we add phytocannabinoids, such as CBD, to our system we are helping to supplement or boost the endocannabinoids that are already naturally being produced. Positive effects of CBD use can be a calmer mood, less joint and muscle discomfort, increased focus, and improved sleep.

CBD vs Smoked Cannabis

Why is CBD a preferred supplement of marijuana or smoked cannabis? It is because CBD has very little to no Tetrahydrocannabinol also known as THC. THC is an intoxicating cannabinoid, and is the ingredient that causes a psychoactive effect, may impair cognition or cause a "high effect" THC has actually been associated with short term memory loss, the opposite effects of what is desired. Unlike THC, CBD is not intoxicating and does not cause a "high" or other cognitive impairments.

CBD Dosage

For those interested in trying CBD to help with memory performance or memory preservation should always consult with their primary physician first.

Before discussing dosage, it is important to know there are three types of CBD:

  • Full Spectrum CBD Oil- This formula includes all of the cannabinoids in the cannabis plant, including trace amounts of THC, over the counter Full Spectrum CBD may contain up to .3% THC.
  • Broad Spectrum CBD Oil- This formula also includes all of the cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, except THC. This type of CBD removes all the THC during the extraction process.
  • CBD Isolate- This type of oil is made with only the CBD cannabinoid molecule. This oil will not allow for the synergistic effect of the cannabinoids working together.

There is no exact dosage chart for CBD, the amount of CBD that will give you desired results will vary from person to person. Some factors that effect what an appropriate single dose are body weight, metabolism, severity of ailment, age, and overall health.

While the average dose is 25mg of CBD per day for therapeutic effects, some do well with as little as 5mg to 10mg, and others need much higher doses of 50mg or more. It is advisable to start slow and grow to find the most effective therapeutic dose. Negative side effects may include dry mouth, and lethargy.
