How Medical Marijuana Can Help Parkinson's Disease
Many drugs prescribed for the disease are accompanied by some significant, negative side effects. These side effects are not present in medical cannabis, which offers a combination of pain relieving, antioxidative and anti-anxiety qualities all in one.
Many medical marijuana patients report consuming cannabis calms tremors very effectively, and ease such symptoms as slow movement, rigidity and insomnia.
