I hope he’s tried CBD or THC. I’ve watched people Parkinson’s nearly completely stop with it

Probably has but it's not going to stop severe Parkinson's which he has.

He’s been dealing with it for close to 30 years. I wonder how long a person’s body can deal with such atrophy.

My mother's roommate from college started to develop her Parkinson's symptoms in her 30s. She in now in her 70s and been lucky to have some excellent medical care through the years. She was never afraid to try new experimental drugs or surgeries. It's not something she likes having but the body can deal with a lot.

Maybe not, I just hope he’s tried it, it’s not a conventional medicine still even though it can do amazing stuff. A guy at work I know tried every medicine for his daughters seizures and nothing worked until CBD

Edit: should’ve added he never even tried or considered CBD until I told him about it. So fuck off

I think you’re being downvoted because THC doesn’t stop Parkinson’s. It helps alleviate the tremors that are actually a side effect from the medication for Parkinson’s; not the disease itself. There are plenty reasons why one wouldn’t want to use THC before a public appearance on stage in front of fans.

I’m being downvoted because all of you are dumb as fuck actually, believe it or not

Wait what did you say? tremors are a side effect of the medication for Parkinson’s? What the fuck are you talking about

People are downvoting you because not only is it a fairly well known treatment to the public at this point, but Michael J. Fox has probably heard this unsolicited advice from random strangers every fucking time he goes outside. It's annoying and unhelpful and only serves to make YOU feel like you're somehow doing good.

I get it, truly. Marijuana has a lot of medical applications that we haven't even begun to tap into yet. It helps so many people every day and could've helped many more people in the past if it weren't for prejudice. But don't you think that someone with his money and influence and connections would've tried that by now? The guy literally has an entire medical foundation for Parkinson's research. It's poor taste to tell someone how to manage their own shit when they clearly have as good of a handle on it as they can and aren't asking for advice.

That’s why I said I hope he’s tried it.. everything you said just proves the insane stigma around it.

Even if someone has a foundation for medical research on Parkinson’s, still doesn’t mean they spend a dollar on cannabis research. None of that is inherent to what you’ve said.

This is a schedule 1 drug on a federal level. If Michael fell victim to any of the propaganda that literally most of his generation was plagued by, he might never care about considering weed medicinal.

Sorry my amazement has just bothered so much of you dipshits. I’ve smoked 16 years, and I never thought it could do things like stop seizures in children and stop tremors in Parkinson’s. You guys all think I’m naive but really it’s all you fucking goofballs think you’re best friends with Michael j fox and can speak on his behalf.

You wanna pretend like cannabis treatment is so accepted yet ordinary doctors wont even prescribe it. Who’s the fucking dipshit here? Then we have the guy above me saying tremors are actually a side effect of the treatment for Parkinson’s lmao? And you say nothing about that? Blatantly wrong and has no idea what he’s talking about and you’re talking to me over dumb shit.

Genuinely hope all you feel smart lol, it’s seriously pathetic

Sounds like it helps to me. How is alleviating the tremors not helping?

Lol all you guys are fucking dumb as hell. Yeah rather be shaking uncontrollably with your mouth open than getting high.

And whether he tried it or not, doesn’t mean that’s the reason he’s passing on it. It must not be effective for him. Love how I’m downvoted but you guys just speak for him like you know jack shit
