It's medical cannabis awareness week and we've updated our research blog.
Cannabis is a drug made from the cannabis plant. There is increasing interest in the therapeutic effects cannabis-based medicines may have for Parkinson’s.

So, @ParkinsonsUK say the Hidden Symptoms session where I was first speaker is the most watched session in the Par-Con playlist on YouTube. Incredibly encouraged by this interest, I've not had an audience of 1.3k before! @ParkinsonsUKSco @jamesjopling youtu.be/II19iHEyjxk?feature…

Excited to hear that a pioneering trial, supported by @ParkinsonsUK, started this week in Finland.
The study is investigating if repeat injections of a potential new treatment called HER-096 can protect brain cells and slow #Parkinsons 👇

Highly recommend the latest @moversand6 podcast 👇
The way Prof Ben-Shlomo explains risk and how to weigh the evidence on the role of environmental factors (like pesticides & TCE) in #Parkinsons is brilliant 💡
We're absolutely thrilled to share the latest episode of @moversand6 which features none other than Professor Yoav Ben-Shlomo (a member of the AMRG), where he helps to unpick some of the epidemiological evidence around causes of Parkinson's Disease.
