Parkinson's and Cannabis Oil

Posted by mzpattilyn @mzpattilyn, Oct 26, 2018

I have heard that Cannabis Oil is helpful for tremors control in Parkinson's. I am having some adverse reactions to some medications and have been told that Cannabis Oil does not have adverse side effects. Is there a specific strain that works better than another?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Parkinson's Disease Support Group.

Teresa@hopeful33250No injections haven't help at all, but sometimes they help for about a hour, but the pain always comes back with a ventents. My doctor just tells me to continue to take the pain meds as directed.

Hi, I was diagnosed 4 years ago. I have bad stenosis as well, so something always hurts somewhere.
If you look at the Endocanabinoid system, you will find the CB1 receptor which seems to control much of the chemicals we care about.
Essentially, you need THC to stop the tremors.
I am a Canabist for about 2 years now. There are thc,cbd,cbg,cbn thcv,thca and cbda, and 15 terpinines. most is unknown, but I know I have taken NO pain pills for 2 years, exercise, and work. I smoke a few times intill my pain goes away and then micro dose (see Dr Barbara Harris UTUBE)

Interesting. Does the oil help with PD symptoms? Balance, coordination, writing, etc.? Do you have to smoke it? I tried smoking it years ago and it made me nauseous and burned my throat. Can you put it in food. Thx.
