I Understand Medical Marijuana Is Being Used For People With MS And Other Diseases. Anyone Using It For PD?
I know research is being conducted.
I am using it now and my doctor agreed with me taking it. I wasn't eating and very nauseous and he was very concerned. It has made a huge difference in my life. Eating a little more and keeping it down. Very little tremors and cut down on my does of meds. I am feeling more like myself again.
I too use the oil or sucker's. It has helped me out a lot. I don't use it anymore
I move, I am always moving and playing mind games. I am doing so much better since I got my service dog. We play a lot of outside games right now and have not fallen down in 2 years. I just keep moving and removed all negative people from my life. God bless and keep moving. 💖
I have been looking into it. CBD oil is recommended for tremors and aids relaxation of tense muscles and can improve mood. One strain the has low THC and higher CBD content is ACDC. You can find more info here: https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/acdc
I'm looking in to getting my prescription. At $60/ .5 fl oz it's cheaper than some of my meds.
I asked my Dr. about using medical marijuana for tremors. Charlottes Web ( only available in Colorado) is a strain developed with high levels of CBD to control seizures and very low levels of THC so you don't get stoned. I was curious as to how it would work on tremors. My Doc told me to experiment as results vary person to person. My Dr. wrote me a prescription. In Oregon medical and recreational marijuana is legal.
I went to a dispensary once I applied for and received my state issued card, and asked tons of questions regarding which strains were available closest to Charlottes Web. The options were many. I was also concerned about the delivery method...not interested in smoking. I purchased a CO2 vapor pen which is a lot healthier compared to inhaling smoke. CO2 Vapor is clean and easy to manage intake levels. I walked away with an assortment of strains to experiment with.
I have a Indica strain to help me sleep through the night (THC @ 200mg out of 600mg vial.). I am also experimenting with:
102mg CBD/128mg THC...
34% CBD/27% THC...
55% CBD/3% THC...
47%CBD/17% THC
I am interested in these strains to see which ones work best for tremors. So far my findings are:
Indica strains, regardless of the CBD levels help me sleep trough the night.
Sativia strains, with lower THC levels and higher CBD levels help me during the day to stay focused and creative. Not sure I would recommend this for someone with balance issues.
The higher CBD levels do help with my tremors but keep in mind, my PD tremors are mild...so far. Remember, the higher the THC, the higher you will be.
I hope this helps and if you or anyone in here has questions please feel free to ask me anything, anytime...of course consult your Dr before adding to or amending your PD med's.
I know people who are using it and it very effective. However, the results varied with the strains used and other factors such as method of preparation. If you can find a strain that works and stick with it, it is very effective.
