There seems to be some research done in Stockllom to support that nicotine in its pure form can have. Beneficial effects in. Parkinson .

Has anyone tried them ?

If so how is it?

The nicotine is often used as a carrier for marijuana, and is wrongly getting the credit for the effect.

Havent come across this reference to marajuana before.

Here is a link to an article on the patch, seems it is still being researched.

I remember reading newspaper articles about this a year or two ago but I have no experience with it. I seem to remember you need something like 3 of the strongest patches at once to get any benefit.

As an ex-smoker who tried patches years ago I would warn that you may get a certain degree of addiction to them and for sure you have strange dreams if you leave them on at night. And they're not particularly cheap.
