cbd and thc are cannibinoids, chemicals related to cannabis. thc is the primary psychoactive component. These chemicals are produced not only by cannabis but also by other biological systems including our human bodies. The first endocannabinoid (. produced by the human body ) was discovered about 20 years and is called anandamide. It is a neurotransmitter. The cannibinoids were patented in the U.S. in 2002 as a neuroprotective. The patent was issued by the U. S. patent office to the U. S. DHS and it specifically mentions that these chemicals are of interest in developing treatments for PD. But the Drug Enforcement Agency continues to insist these chemicals have no potential medical use. Two branches of our government telling us opposite things. I suggest that you decide for yourself. I have been fighting this disease for over 20 years with cannabis and I am still pretty sharp. It might not have anything to do with the cannabis but I have no plans to change my therapy. Since there are a lot of cannibinoids and we don't know exactly which ones do what I would recommend using the whole plant instead of just one isolated cannibinoid like cbd. Many scientists feel that the mix of cannibinoids (the entourage effect) is the medically most prudent way to consume cannabis at the current level of understanding.

I take CBD oil one hour before bedtime and have never slept so WELL!!!!

Well, I live in WI. so that says it all.

@Billglass------thanks for all the info---i have been trying to find it---i do not need any PD meds yet but when the time comes i do not want to take them---they have too many side effects, some of which i have already----but, i have a question----if you use cannabis all the time instead of the oil, how do you avoid getting high?----that part i do not want----the other problem is that you cannot buy either here in Wisconsin----the oil has been approved for seizure control but nothing else but here is the kicker, you cannot buy any of it here in Wisconsin----so stupid....thanks again----glad it is working for you----Bonnie

I have been using CBD oil for about a month, I started with Hemp Oil. The hemp oil does help , but I haven't found a CBD that really works yet. Its so many out there, do your research and make sure its all natural
