Has anyone tried CBD oil to help with tremors?

Hi @mindy6, this is a great question. I have read about agent orange and the issues it has caused so many people. I am sorry to hear that your father-in-law has tremors as a result of his exposure to this agent. I'd like to invite @johnjames and @mstephen to this discussion as they have discussed their experiences with being exposed to agent orange as well and may be able to talk a bit more about that.
@mindy6, if you don't mind sharing, have you discussed CBD oil for tremors with your father-in-laws medical provider? It is also my understanding that CBD oil without the THC can be purchased without a license, is that correct or am I mistaken?

That is not helpful. There are THC receptors, and CBD receptors in the brain They are in the Endocanabinoid system. There 3 thc's and 5 CBD's as well as 15 identified terpines. They all do something different.
CBD is legal in all 50 states and only has .003%THC. You can also get isolate CBD without the THC. But the entourage effect is better together in my opinion.
Mindy, Have you discussed CBD Oil with your Doctor?
I can’t answer you in regards to agent Orange but as far as Parkinson’s I have spoken to my doctor about CBD many times. She told me there have not been enough studies done yet to say yeah or nay on it yet. I have heard people also ask about medical marijuana and again she did not recommend it to me for use for tremors. That’s the best information I can tell you. Good luck!
Hi Everyone
I think the question that many of us with PD want to know is less about how our tremors started and more about whether CBD or THC or a combination can improve or retard tremors. There must be thousands of people out there now (because marijuana is legal in all or most states) who have tried CBD who have Parkinson's disease. It would be great if everybody could weigh in with a thumbs up or thumbs down. If you have had success with it or you think it's working could you please provide the dosage and the frequency. Excuse me, I'm sightly frustrated. Why doesn't Mayo send out a questionnaire to all it's movement disorder patients across the US and ask the same questions posted above not as a scientific study but as an acknowledgement that it's patients as a group are potentially capable of indicating avenues worthy of further research?
Thanks

I have agent orange presumed PD without tremors yet so I’ll listen in for the future.
