( though the dosing required for positive results is substantial ). One such clinical trial found that “ Acute CBD administration at a dose of 300 mg decreased anxiety in patients with PD , and there was also decreased tremor amplitude in an anxiogenic situation .” 1 CBD is also a neuroprotectant and is , therefore , likely to inhibit the progression of Parkinson ’ s and other neurogenerative diseases ( see this author ’ s article in the December 2021 issue on Alzheimer ’ s 2 ).

Where it concerns cannabis that includes THC , there is no shortage of anecdotal testimonials , and the results appear far more impressive than CBD alone ( cultivars that also include THCV appear especially promising ). Take , for example , the ex-cop Larry Smith , whose YouTube videos have racked up over 10 million views . 3 Smith was able to toss out his Parkinson ’ s pharmaceuticals that were costing him thousands each month . Worse yet , they didn ’ t even work and were only making his symptoms worse . He tried concentrated cannabis oil ( orally ), and the results were immediate and astounding . Smith got his life back . There are many other similar testimonials .

For immediate results , vaping or smoking is recommended ; however , because it ’ s more discrete in many cases , patients will prefer sublingual tinctures . For longer-lasting benefits , oral ingestion ( gummies , etc .) is preferred , although titration may prove challenging for newbies . Type II chemotype strains ( approximately equal parts THC to CBD ) provide better relief than CBD alone . High THC strains lacking in CBD should be avoided .
