US Patent 6630507 - Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants

I want you to note the last one- it is a patent (one of several on medical cannabis). If cannabis has no medical effect (as our government claims), then why are folks patenting treatments using it?

One of the first MMJ users I met had Parkinson's. She said she could cut her meds in half when she had pot. Her college-age nephew kept her well supplied.

For a REAL education- Click either link in my sig and READ my list! Bet you "wimp out" before you are halfway done reading even just the titles! lol

lol man it makes me laugh that our best medicine on this planet is a plant that grows naturally all over the place, like a weed. It makes me sad that the government persecutes and kills people for using cannabis.

 

When you have Parkinson's, you are gradually losing your ability to produce Dopamine. that being said, it seems like when I'm in a good mood those last few dopamine producing brain cells start working overtime. When its at its worst, theres nothing that compares to a few tokes of "Roadkill, so smoke on fellow Parkees, or would that be Parkys

 

Look at adding Omega-3 fats to your current treatment especially DHA and EPA. Both DHA and EPA are metabolized into the endocannabinoids DHEA and EPEA as well as grey mater. They could provide important support to the cannabinoids you are already using and help slow the progression of your disease.
