Hello all!
Looking for thoughts or experiences on using CBD, THC alone or in combination. I have found that when I have used different strains of many varieties it immediately makes my tremors much worse. Any thoughts or information on this would be really appreciated. Thanks!
After the initial worsening are you then good?
Sorta but not really. I have to do ALOT to get any change. It is really frustrating because I’ve seen many studies and many people with PD use it and it’s like night and day for them.
I use the medical type of CBD with a very small amount of THC 3:1 ratio it really helps but i dont get the anxiety like from a high dose of THC I really like it and i think it really relaxes my tremors i always use the Indica strain
FWIW, I just took my mother to a doctor who has the license to prescribe Marijuana. It was a follow up visit after 3 months. Since my mother is 75 years old (105 lbs.) and has had PD for 9 years now, she was advised initially to take a low dose of 15 ml of CBD + 2 ml of THC twice a day. Doctor specifically mentioned that I do not increase THC dose given the age and how weak my mother is as it may cause confusion or panic (on the web the ideal ratio of CBD to THC is anywhere in the range of 2:1 to 4:1 for THC to aid CBD act optimally. My mother has had some improvement in her bad days ( yes she has alternate good days and bad days - the latter is really bad where she seems to be lost and confused and almost in another world not responding, severe tremors and giving that blank stare or even not making eye contact for a couple of hours during the bad day - we call it the window that appears any time during the bad day for a couple of hours; whereas the good days she is almost normal and hard to say that she has PD, no/hardly any tremors or symptoms. I know it is strange - there are on and off periods during the day for PD patients typically; doctors are not able to figure out why my mother has that bad day/window that appears like CLOCKWORK - since a year). Anyhow, seems the CBD + THC dose recommended by the doctor has eased both the intensity of the events during that window and frequency of the bad days - at times if we are lucky it is not regular on alternate days, some times that bad day & window can be once is 4 days. Also on her good days, I give her the recommended dosage of CBD+ THC ( 15 ml CBD + 2 ml THC twice a day) and on her bad days as per the doctor it is 30 ml CBD + 4 ml THC twice a day. Dosage may vary from person to person depending on condition, age, how long or how far ahead the PD has progressed etc.. Hope it helps
Do you mix this dose yourself and if you do how do you measure. Medical marijuana oil in NJ is still to strong and it makes myhusband paranoid. It’s. 5 to 5 mix
Yes, I mix the CBD and THC that are in 2 separate bottles to get the final dose of CBD+THC. I add 15 drops of CBD and then 2 drops of THC using a dropper as per the doctor's suggestion.
Thank you,sounds simple enough.
what strain are you using for CBD and THC Indica?
I think it has to do with the the type of strain of plant, one is a brain high and the other is a body high, which would relax you. You'd have to research.
Thx!
I have yet to find the best strain. What I am finding is that when I do use CBD alone or in combination with THC, after it wears off the tremors are much much worse and can happen for hours and that is so frustrating.
hello, i tried CBD gummies and I just got dizzy and nauseated
Is CBD Helpful, or Just Hype?
Is PD better or worse with medications?
