Anyone treated Parkinsons with Cannabis?

I haven't, but know someone who is. There isn't great confirmation from solid research, but all of the suspicions of users would suggest that some blend of med-high CBD, and med-high THC is optimal for maximizing the medicinal effects. It would also seem that some form of edibles are better for treating things like this because of how much longer the effects last. If you're smoking the medicine you might have to be smoking 7-8+ times a day to keep your illness treated.
did some poking around and found a exhaustively comprehensive (and dense af) review on the subject from 2015.
Promising cannabinoid-based therapies for Parkinson’s disease: motor symptoms to neuroprotection
there's a great table in the middle of the paper that compares the findings of 26 clinical studies with citation links to each one.
it's open access so the whole thing is available for free
