When taking CBD, it is important to limit or avoid alcohol. If experiencing any side effects, one should stop taking CBD products. The complexity of PD has led to the development of a wide variety of treatment options aimed at targeting as many of these debilitating symptoms of this progressive disease while minimizing the adverse side effects associated with the current pharmacological treatments.

CBD has been shown to have positive effects in numerous studies, but due to the differences in how the PD brain is built compared with a non-PD brain, separate studies are needed to assure successful results.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of the two main components of medical marijuana. (The other one is tetrahydrocannabinol or THC.) Pure CBD does not cause a “high” and does not pose a risk of abuse or dependence. THC on the other hand, can cause these effects. CBD has been studied extensively in the laboratory and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Although this is interesting and potentially exciting information, there are numerous other chemicals that have been studied in the laboratory with these properties that did not result in clinical benefit when tried in humans. Therefore, clinical trials become essential to support any claims that CBD should be used for medical purposes.

There is a lot of confusion around this question, related to the fact that the law distinguishes between CBD extracted from hemp and CBD extracted from marijuana. In reality, hemp and marijuana are two different names for the cannabis plant, with hemp defined as cannabis containing less than 0. 3% THC.

(Three other cannabis related drug products that are not CBD, but rather synthetic THC, also have FDA approval and are used to treat loss of appetite and weight loss in patients with HIV, and severe nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy). For all the other health claims, there is not enough clinical trial data to allow the FDA to state whether or not CBD is effective.

This has not dimmed the enthusiasm of millions of CBD users for a wide range of medical conditions. Practically, CBD products can be obtained relatively easily at health food stores and online.
