Benefits of Parkinson’s disease and cannabis

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive disease of the nervous system. It affects the neurons in the brain that produce dopamine, causing tremors and impaired movement. People with cerebral palsy may experience a range of symptoms, including tremor (shaking), stiffness, slowness of movement, and difficulty walking. These symptoms worsen over time. Although there is currently no cure for Parkinson’s disease, there are treatments available that can help manage its symptoms. One such treatment involves the consumption of cannabis by patients with Parkinson’s disease who have been certified by their physician as eligible for use. Medical marijuana products are legal in their state or country.
