Parkinson’s Disease

Description

Over 10 million people worldwide are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative condition which causes the death of neurons in the basal ganglia, causing a loss of dopamine production and a loss of motor and cognitive function. Treatment tries to slow the progression by reducing oxidative and excitotoxic damage to these neurons, and to manage symptoms. Nothing treats the condition itself. Sinemet and L-dopa-carbidopa may manage symptoms and polypharmacy is common. Deep brain stimulation implants and other surgical options have poor outcomes are poor, and none of the approved therapies really help in significant ways.

How Cannabis Can Help

Patients reported benefits with smoked cannabis: reduction in tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, improved mood, and sleep. THC activates CB1 & CB2 receptors helping to balance neurochemistry and slow down neuroinflammation. CBD is neuroprotective and dampens oxidative stress slowing down the progression and stimulates dopamine directly which may provide benefit. Clinical trials showed inhalation improves symptoms for many with immediate benefits of tremor reduction, reduced pain, and spasm.
