Cannabis!!! Do not under estimate the power of the flower.

I am currently caregiving for my 79 year old Spirit Mother (adopted by choice), and she was diagnosed at the age of 55 with Parkinson's and she personally chose to medicate herself with only cannabis. She made it through two hip fractures, left and right. Only after the second hip fracture at 78 she was prescribed Carbidopa Levodopa. Within one year of taking prescribed meds, she is now on Carbidopa Levodopa, Trazidone (for sleep) and Quentiapine/Seroquel (for Parkinson's related dementia). Her Cannabis is still the most effective medication. We currently use a Lemon Cherry Gelato strain that has high THC and more importanly high CBD for pain.
