Colorado-based Day Three Labs announced this week that the world’s first government-sponsored cannabis technology incubator will fund the company’s research into using cannabis as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease.

When I take THC edibles at bedtime for sleep, they eliminate my tremor, rigidity, and slight bradykinesia on my left side/left arm (currently my only symptoms), but they make me too groggy to function normally. It frustrates me that I can't find a way to take THC during the day so that I would get the benefits but not the unwanted side effects. Smaller doses don't do anything at all.

have you tried a CBD/THC tincture? Try a couple of drops in you coffee and see if it helps.

I've tried many types of CBD and CBD with THC... all sorts of tinctures. None have helped. They do help with pain, but not with Parkinson's symptoms (for me).

How do you know which one to try?

goodekind.com/product-categ... you tried these? A friend takes them and has to cut them into 12 pieces because they are so strong. I’m ordering them for my HWP. He’s always in great pain at night and never sleeps through the night. If they work (which she claims they do), I may have to put him in depends at bedtime!

I have the same problem. Great news that a Colorado company is going to do some long awaited and much needed research into cannabis and Parkinsons

Thanks, but I do have edibles for sleep that I'm happy with, and I'm not currently having issues with pain. The issue is really finding something to take during the day that would give me the same benefits as edibles without the grogginess and fatigue. Small doses do nothing for my PD symptoms, and larger doses knock me out.
