question with parkinsons

[thNk.m0rbid]

okay, my dad has parkinsons disease.. he's had it for a couple years now, still supporting the family by himself (2 guys counting me, and 3 girls), still going to work everyday, and exercises every freakin day for hours (he was a runner before parkinsons and still runs.. is running right now actually outside lol), and eats healthy, fixes dinner everyday.. he's tried EVERYTHING to try to reduce the symptoms of parkinsons, like i was just on the internet looking for stuff to help parkinsons and help reduce inflammation from parkinsons and i gave him a ton of things and he said hes tried them all! he said the only time he can move right and feels good is when he takes his medicine which he takes after hes done exercising and eating dinner which is around 6pm.. i don't kno why he doesn't take his medicine THEN exercise but who knows.. but i was wondering if marijuana could help him move correctly? stop his shaking that happens sometimes and all of that stuff with parkinsons?.. im thinking about asking him to smoke with me one of these days LOL or you kno, just to try smoking weed to see if it helps.. he already knows i smoke weed and used to always be like "all these damn dope smokers in my house, blah blah blah" but nowadays, he just doesn't say anything about me smoking in the basement or upstairs in my room anymore with people lol.. he's asked about marijuana to his doctor (cause i asked him to, like about medical marijuana) but he said that the doctor only said it would help with 1 thing (i forget what that was) and that it's illegal.. i don't kno if it's safe for him to smoke marijuana cause isn't parkinsons something in the brain? and doesn't marijuana affect the brain? so i don't kno if that's a good idea like im not trying to kill my dad!! lol.. but yeah i was wondering if marijuana would help.. thanks!

thanks, the next time i have bud i think im going to ask my dad if he wants to smoke with me.. he's told me he's smoked in the past before when he was a kid but that's all.. what should i smoke him out with? cause if he took one of my gravities he'd be high as anything, doesn't taste all that well either cause the water is so dirty and the bottle/piece resined up also.. i don't want him to like trip out and get all freaked out or something cause he's too high.. i want him to feel the affects and let him notice like "wow, i feel great works better then my medicine".. that'd be a real good thing

Get a one hitter so that you can sort of measure the hits better.If he starts to feel the high coming on then you should take a break.Hope i was helpfull.
