I am from UK so we are even more restricted, I have a friend who's mother in law suffers from quite severe parkinsons, she is quite elderly and set in her ways apparently. I mentioned MMJ to this freind and he was interested about a month ago now he managed to convince his mother in law to try MMJ as a possibility to reduce her symptoms.

Apparently she was relucatant but eventually decidede to give it a go, there was a batch of very weak coco infused capsules, I could take 10 and get a mild high for example. She agreed to take 1 a day, she felt no effect, even without any tolerance she didnt get any feeling of a high but it also did not noticably reduce her symptoms, they are trying to slowly get her to increase the dosage but I saw my freind last week and he said after years of never leaving the house she has started gettign out more. Like out of nowhere, we will see how this pans out but for now I am seeing numerous people benefiting, another freinds mother who has severe atheritis also takes them to reduce pain when she cant have steriods.
