My husband had improvement with THC. It is legal for medical use in our state and has been linked with helping Parkinson's in many studies. He will begin treatment with it again once his next brain scan is done.

I think the plain CBD works for me ( stops the pain in joints and back )

Hi. I just started taking CBD 2 days ago. I guess I haven’t notice any effect yet as I may have to increase my dosage. What I noticed was that I was able to smell a scent of the incense my husband lighted which before I never did. I don’t have my sense of smell. I lost it. I will give an update about any results.
