Unfortunately no: Thc or the active ingredient in marijuana can cause a variety of responses . Though for some there is a calming effect of others it was cause paradoxical agitation , disorientation and even paranoid feelings. Individuals suffering from dementia may have more vulnerable brains and may be more affected by the negative reactions.
