Cannabis and Parkinson’s

[Robert P]

I use medical marijuana regularly for a couple of reasons. The biggest is because it seems to greatly calm the frquency and intensity of my REM Sleep Behavior (violent actibg out dreams). Not a cure or 100% relief, but I’d say and 80-90% reduction.

It also helps improve my sleep in that it reduces (not solves) my nighttime urge to pee multiple times at night.

For sleep, I seek products with high CBN content (in addition to moderate THC and high CBD). Lots of products have good mixes of THC and CBD, but significant CBN is harder to find.

I sleep best with a dose of 10mg THC, 10mg CBN, and 100mg CBD in tincture form.

The downside is that one can be a little dizzy when getting up to pee, but the upside is very little temporary grogginess in the morning compared to booze, benedryl or pills. Wouldn’t want to combine it with an evening drink or other sleep drugs…but on the upside, my nightly weed caused me to unintentionally stop drinking altogether. I feel much better.
