The study aims to recruit patients of both sexes diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease who are in the mild and moderate stages for treatment with cannabinoids. The specific objectives of the study are: Primary Outcome * To evaluate the effect of Cannabis sativa at low doses according to the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale - Memory and Cognition test - in patients with Alzheimer's Disease. Secondary Outcomes * To evaluate the effect of Cannabis sativa at low doses according to the Cornell scale - Depression in dementia test. * To evaluate the effect of Cannabis sativa at low doses according to the GDS scale - Depression in elderly people test. * To evaluate the effect of Cannabis sativa at low doses according to the QoL scale - Quality of Life test. * To evaluate the effect of Cannabis sativa at low doses according to the Epworth scale - Drowsiness test. * To evaluate the adverse effects of Cannabis sativa at low doses given daily for 26 weeks in patients with Alzheimer's Disease. Participants will use a compound containing CBD/THC 50/5 mg/mL, administered as 0.2 mL once a day. The placebo group will use a compound identical to the treatment but containing only vehicle. To address the questions above, the treated group will be compared with the placebo group over a period of 6 months. Participants will be assessed every 2 months.
