“Cannabis may further reduce the symptoms of PD by acting on the CB1 receptors, which in turn, may alleviate the effects of tremors and improve movement (Babayeva et al., 2016). Patients suffering from PD look to use cannabis as a therapeutic treatment option in addition to standard therapy with the anticipation that their symptoms will greatly decrease in comparison to
typical standard medical treatment”
