The use of cannabis as a treatment for different diseases /disorders has always been an interesting subject to me. In our research, we look at the use of cannabis as a treatment for Parkinson’s Disease. As a disease with no known cure, this was something that interested us as cannabis is a relatively new alternative medicine. We found a variety of articles that both supported the use of cannabis and some that were not against it but stated that more research had to be done. Overall, we agreed that there was a growing support for cannabis as a treatment. This can also be shown with the increasing number of states legalizing cannabis and the continuous research being done.

The critical appraisal supported what I expected. Although some articles still recommend further research, I think overall, there was more evidence in favor of the use of cannabis. Both my teammate and I know people who suffer from this disease. We have seen this disease in person and have come to have a better understanding of it. Our research is compelling but could still use more evidence as it would always be beneficial. Writing this paper has been a challenge. I think both my partner and I bring our own unique ideas/styles to the table and are able to work off of each other. Overcoming the challenges of writing this paper will ultimately benefit us in the end and I look forward to submitting our final work.
