Medical Marijuana and Parkinson’s: It’s Complicated

I agree it can be complicated especially in some states. I’ve been fortunate enough to live in California and I’ve been able to get “medicine” for a long time, longer than I’ve been dxed with the PD, as I had other health problems where MM was very helpful but it certainly has made a difference with the Parkinson’s. I wish it were available to anyone who needs it medically. It really helps my tremor and tight painful muscles. It can make the slowness, a little slower but it’s worth not constantly shaking and my sleep and mood are better.

What formulation you use? CBD only or with THC

[Hidden in reply to Farooqji]

Both. I use a 20 to 1 cbd oil. I also use very low dose, 5 mg, thc edible, usually in gummy form.

You are lucky. It’s hard to get a MM prescription here . I tried 1/4 of an illegal gummy (for sleep) and the whole room moved for hours. A horrible experience! I’m going to try 1/8 but think I must be very susceptible to THC. Might have to try the long and expensive legal path.

I did sleep well!
