I smoke a bit every night. Has helped me fall asleep much quicker than before. Took me a while to find the right strain though

THC in small doses helps me fall asleep. It does nothing for my tremors or other PD symptoms.

I've heard it definitely can. Trial and error with small doses on up. Try different ratios of THC / CBD and different forms. Everyone's body will react differently, so there's no one-size fits all advice!

For us, different formulations and ratios of THC to CBD had very different effects, so it helped to take notes during the trial and error.

Keep your neurologist in the loop, since they have to do the annual medical marijuana authorization anyway.

Liquid oral tinctures of 100% CBD and 0% THC were amazing to get to sleep. Just half a 1ml dropper for an 80lb woman. Any THC day or night made hallucinations and dreams more vivid and less distinguishable from reality, so that was a big NO.

I think others really like a little THC, maybe for mood or appetite stimulation or muscle relaxation. The CBD was sufficient for my mother to get those effects.

The capsules took too long to work, and the inhalers worked too strong too quickly. But you'd pick the form for the effect you want. The oil was good for a quick but gentle sleep aid. Sometimes we used it to calm down from a daytime panic as well.

Good luck!
