I'VE BEEN TOLD...
that MJ also helps with pain management, relaxation, and sleeplessness.
It can calm an upset stomach. It can restore an appetite.
(It slices... it dices... it julien fries!)
At least, that's what I'VE BEEN TOLD...
I wouldn't know since...
I live in Nebraska, where it is still illegal even for medicinal purposes.
(I'LL TAKE THE FIFTH... ;-)

A lot of my friends swear by it. I have found it helpful short term.

I take CBD oil with small amount of THC I believe it helps with my tremors, and definately helps with pain and anxiety! at bedtime, I take a capsule with the plant leaf in it, really helps me sleep!

I tried it and it did nothing for me but others have found it really helped. It is legal here now. All you can do is give it a try. Good luck.

My husband with PD is using CBD oil at night to help with sleep. It also seems to help his tremors.
