What is
“Cannabis-Based Therapy”?
Medical-grade cannabis-based therapy is nothing like what is commonly referred to as “street marijuana.” When cannabis oil is extracted from the marijuana plant it can be processed in specific cannabinoid ratios and doses to address many ailments common to older adults. Side effects, like dry mouth and drowsiness, are well-tolerated and not life-threatening.
Under the guidance of a licensed medical marijuana physician, cannabinoids have yielded positive results in the treatment of chronic pain, neuroplasticity, emotion and mood disorders, insomnia, poor appetite and nausea, as well as chemotherapy-related discomforts. MorseLife has had positive and commendatory results managing clients who suffer from all types of dementia.

Why Cannabinoid
Based Treatment Now?
In September 2019, MorseLife commissioned an online survey of 2,008 adults in the United States, conducted on our behalf by The Harris Poll. One of its top insights was overwhelming support for medical marijuana. Regardless of any individual’s personal opposition, the reality is that patients and their families in Florida have fought for years to simplify access to medical marijuana.

I am a client of MorseLife Palliative Care because I have MS. Because I am in chronic pain, I signed up to participate in the Cannabinoids Based Treatment research program. I was pretty skeptical, but also pretty desperate for relief. I met with Dr. Melanie Bone and her team before proceeding and when I was approved to participate, I took the plunge. I would never have believed this treatment could relieve the relentless pain I was in. I was truly overjoyed, as was my family who had watch me suffering day in and day out.

Palliative Care
My wife is a resident at MorseLife Memory Care Assisted Living. One of the symptoms of her Alzheimer’s that has been very troubling for our family is her depression. She has awakened in tears every morning for the last few years, unable to express her feelings or explain why she was crying. Seeing my wife in distress broke my heart. The anti-depressants prescribed by her doctor provided no relief. But three months ago, she began MorseLife’s Cannabinoid Based Treatment program. The change is nothing short of miraculous. We are truly indebted to MorseLife.
