Ask the MD: Medical Marijuana and Parkinson's Disease

I have seizures with some of the same symptoms arm jolts shaking etc marijuana seems to help a little but I still have the other side effects of the marijuana so it's one or the other

Wtf.. small sample size, no control group, and no standardised dosing? So basically they didn’t do a study…

She spatting government propaganda, line for line…

There are cannabinoids in all marijuana…

phytocannabinoids help humans to maintain cellular homeostasis in their endocannabinoid system . most people are experiencing severe endocannabinoid deficiencies because of a lack of omega fats in diets … phytocannabinoids are a late stage compound in the omega fatty acid pathways in our cells .. the phytochemicals bio-mimic our endogenous cannabinoids and is why they are so safe to use

i'm not diagnosed with PD (yet) did have a brain scan… but i have migraines as well, eye migraine like 3-4 times on a bad day (every day for 3 days in a row each week) which is also gone with cannabis, turns out they only looked at the migraines.. and not the tremors, so after this corona stuff i'm going for a checkup
my dad had PD he went from a good husband/father to bed bound in a matter of a couple years
since a year or 2 my head is shaking… started with small fast tremors and since like 2 months they have been slower but more prevalent/bigger motion
if i am not smoking cannabis i am aware of every little shake, it's locking my shoulders and causing me to hunch over subconsciously and cause tremendous stress
it started with my head, but it's "in" my torso, back/lower back and shoulders now
i am not going outside as much as i like, in this time that's a good thing… with this corona stuff, but still i feel ashamed, avoid people whenever possible
i'm 47 and i really do not want to live like this for the rest of my live, or worse… end up like my dad, bed stricken for ~10 years till i die of pneumonia (like he did)
his doctor told me i could get this, this was genetic, either me or my kids would get this (conscious decision to not have kids cause of this)
32 years ive been afraid this might affect me… every little involuntary movement i was reminded of PD, not a good life….very stressful
so i smoke cannabis, it helps with the shaking and, at the very least, it helps with "forgetting" tremors, less stress, less "conscious" shaking
1 gram a day, expensive, it's like 60 euros a week… but we don't have medical cannabis which is compensated (tho we are known for our weed, the netherlands) and i'm not allowed to grow it myself, but weed helps….

I've had PD for some years just recently diagnosed I've found through trial and error that the thc and cdb percentage is key ,for me 5 percent cdb and between 23 to 27 percent thc and my symptoms are gone and have a good quality of life ,people can't tell I have pd to low on the percentages and it non efecturail higher on the percentages and I'm well let's say higher then a kite and can't funtion I hate takeing meds and this when it wears off OH Boy I'm 57 and I don't know what I'm going do maybe this might help someone SEMPER FI

In February last year, I was diagnosed of PARKINSON DISEASE. I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex and sinemet as the disease progressed but didn’t help much. In July, I started on PARKINSON DISEASE TREATMENT PROTOCOL from Herbal Health Point (ww w. herbalhealthpoint. c om). One month into the treatment, I made a significant recovery. After I completed the recommended treatment, almost all my symptoms were gone, wonderful improvement with my movement and tremors

My husband is afraid about taking medical marijuana to treat his Parkinson's disease . His neurologist has sad , that the earliest a patient uses cannabinoid the most addicted this patient becomes. As Parkinson develops gradually , my husband prefers to take another alternative medical treatment later. He just takes Levodopa and aspirin.

I think the take away is that there are a LOT of PD people asking these questions. And there have been some actual real benefits — in the field — for those who have tried. I guess my question would be after watching this – what research is MJFF doing to move the needle forward? If the current trials are small and not double blind, then wouldn't it behoove the MJFF to fund a trial to research this since so many are asking? We keep hearing the same thing — lots of people asking, not enough research or trials. Sounds like a "Call to Action" to me.
