CANNABIS PRESCRIPTIONS

Since it affects the nervous system, Parkinson’s Disease impairs a person’s ability to move. When the brain is functioning normally, it produces the chemical dopamine, which is responsible for carrying messages from the brain to the parts of the body that control movement. When Parkinson’s symptoms begin to show, they will interfere more and more with the patient’s daily life since the disease is progressive. It is not known exactly what causes Parkinson’s to develop nor is there a known cure for it.

HOW MEDICAL MARIJUANA CAN HELP

Prescription cannabis can treat many of the same Parkinson’s symptoms treated with prescription medication. The only difference is, medical marijuana does not have nearly as many side effects as other prescription medications used to treat Parkinson’s do. However, medical marijuana isn’t the right choice for everyone.
