Sister in law was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's and doctor med's are not helping. Does anyone have articles on MMJ helping, or improving quality of life???

Thanks!!!!

Have you tried to Google "Parkinson's mmj", or maybe duck-duck go, or maybe startpage, or any search engines?

In my experience with parkinson cannabis makes symptoms worse unfortunately. I have a real close friend that takes care of his dad who has it. When he smokes it makes him "feel" better but his motor skills are noticeably worse after he smokes. I'll ask him what was best medicine his dad has ever taken, hes had it for over 10 years now.

They ever try any high CBD cannabis? I've watched multiple people with parkinson's have tremor cessation with just a tiny bit of CBD.

No he hasnt tried any high cbd strains, mainly Chem, Sours, Ssh, and Diesels. I should look into grabbing one for him see how it goes.

Please do, and I hope they're pleasantly surprised. The high THC stuff you mentioned usually has very little CBD in it.

I am sorry for your families difficult time.
With all due respect, I went to green med info com and went to their parkinson's page. There is a good amount of information on what people are doing, other than relying on a pharmaceutical solution. Looking at dementia as an environmental condition allows one to act on their own research to make dietary and other lifestyle changes that may sway the outcome.
I also agree with experimenting with CBD rich strains.
I sincerely wish you and your family peace and strength during the holidays and as you fight for SIL's health.

My father has tremors due to nerve and brain damage from chemical poisoning. He has benefited from edibles and topicals. This is the first year I have been able to produce high CBD plants. I have not been able to get testing results yet tho. In the past couple of weeks since harvest we have been experimenting and he is doing well with it and seeing improvement. His favorite so far is Electra (acdc x Seafoam) there is very little inebriation , but a great deal of reduction in tremors, anxiety and pain. It seems to build up over a few days. He doesn't need as much as he did when first starting.

So i talked to my buddy that takes care of his dad that has parkinsons. He said best medicine that worked was Stalevo. His dad had bathroom issues from it so doesnt take it anymore but said when on it was like he didnt even have parkinsons.

Were going to look into finding some CBD strains and see how that goes for him. His Pops loves smoking herb but with the high THC strains he doesnt do so well anymore. Im not to knowledgeable on CBD strains, what would you guys recommend clone or seed wise for CBD strains.
