My research indicates that the components of marijuana plants that may help are: CBD and CBG. There is one good website I have found, and has staff that will help with choosing a product that would contain these ingredients. There is THC which is the so-called high inducing ingredient: the legal limit is no more than 3% which is minimal. I don't think you should by any gummies from a convenience store. I don't know if it's permissable to name a business here. I will ask the community leader .
The CBD and.CBG are mentioned in an answer on this site.

When considering medical marijuana for Parkinson's disease (PD), it's important to understand the different active compounds and their effects:

- THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol): Known for its recreational mental effects, it also has anti-inflammatory and appetite-stimulating properties.
- CBD (cannabidiol): Can reduce pain, treat convulsions, act as a sedative, and mitigate the mental effects of THC.
- CBC (cannabichromene): Functions as an analgesic.
- CBG (cannabigerol): Has anti-inflammatory properties.

Different strains of medical cannabis contain varying levels of these compounds. Depending on your symptoms, one strain may be more beneficial than another. Always consult your doctor for dosage and administration directions.
