Here is some reading and background information concerning Medical Marijuana and Parkinson’s. Please note some of these may not be the latest information but are included to offer a wide range of sources and opinions, they do not constitute medical advice, and in almost every case more research is needed before there is certainty.

Parkinson’s Disease is a condition of the central nervous system that affects movement. It is characterized by tremors, muscular stiffness, slow movement, and soft or slurred speech. It is a progressive disease; symptoms start mild and may be unnoticeable at first but worsens over time and often affects one side of the body more than the other. Medical cannabis may help reduce tremors and muscle stiffness, thus overall improving ambulation and quality of life.
