its not a drug its an herb the reason why its not called a drug cannot get addicted to it like meds and its impossible to overdose plus marijuana can not kill you there's not one case of anyone died from it
@@bradleycallison I smoke marijuana everyday and I can attest that it is in fact possible to get addicted to marijuana and have seizures from withdrawal after years of heavy daily use your body doesn’t know how to regulate the endocannbinoid system itself if it gets used to consuming a couple grams of thc a day. However it’s not a problem if you keep smokin 👍
AgentPothead my father has it. I would like to know exactly what cannabis he ingested (was it just the plant?). There are so many strains as well. I wish there were more specifics. I actually just bought some Rick Simpson oil for my dad. Five caps. It's a CBD formula. Is this from the general class of quality plant we all know and love on its own? Because he's tried that and didn't experience this. This is unreal. I hope the CBD capsules work.
I can't really help answer any of that. If you live where medical marijuana is legal I highly recommend talking to a dispensary. They are always very nice and helpful and can help you find the strain that is right for your father.
Very educational and a great video for raising awareness to the medical benefits of cannabis, great job with the video and I hope you continue to find relief!
Told my doctor yesterday I smoke cannabis to help with symptoms I have (luckily for me nothing as serious as you, yet still debilitating..) All she had to say was it would probably make my symptoms worse and could cause permanent psychosis... so disappointed my GP is peddling the old "reefer madness" BS... really wanted a doctor to take me, my medicine and my issue seriously... here is hoping someone, somewhere soon has the balls to step up and realise this needs to be decriminalized - I am sick to death of feeling like a criminal for attempting to live a normal life... sorry for the rant, all the best bud.
Bomburino Kripperino I appreciate your concern, however I feel I know what works and what doesn't - until the age of 22 I avoided smoking cannabis after being explicitly told at school what harmful effects it would have on me. Anyway one night when I was 22, after weeks of being housebound from anxiety and pain I tried some cannabis, now at the age of 27 I'm in far less pain/anxiety, although it still is a problem. Last year I "quit" smoking cannabis for about 6 months (Feb - early July) as I worried I might be 'addicted' to it, however stopping wasn't very difficult, or beneficial. Maybe it is all a placebo effect, maybe not - regardless I've found it hundreds of times more helpful to me than any anti-depressant, anti-spasmodic SSRI or opiate and while many others have used alcohol or tobacco to alleviate pain / for recreation (both of which have countless studies and proofs showing how harmful the both are) than I think I should be allowed to use cannabis - remember that until I was 22 I avidly avoided it thinking "only idiots smoke weed" - how sadly ironic..! Thank-you for messaging me out of concern, it's very kind of you - I wish you the best and hopefully you'll wish me the same :)
Don't feel like you're doing something wrong. You do what you have to do to take care of you Your doctor doesn't give a shit about you, you're just a cash cow. As long as you stay sick, she get money coming in. Also by law your doctor has to say all that bullshit to protect her license. Years ago I wish I had the guts to do what you did. I was on medication for depression and anxiety and almost died, spent 14 days in the hospital. The medication the doctor prescribed was to strong. I DO NOT TRUST DOCTORS. Doctors are people just like you and me. For all I know, they could have been partying all through med school and barely pass. I took control, did my own research, studied the brain, found a study done on vitamins and the brain that was done 30 years ago - and that's what I do. Since then - not even a hit of depression or anxiety, I play tennis, I work, I HAVE a great life! I've also tried cannabis, which works great for anxiety because it protects the synapsis in the brain. I discovered a tree, that produces a nut that has the same effect as cannabis, that's not on the FDA radar - :-D
***** Sadly she's the only one who has come close to taking me seriously there - the doctors itself has a terribly low Google+ review score. I'm moving (hopefully) after the new year, so fingers crossed I'll be somewhere better with different doctors :)
My mom is 80 and suffering from advanced Parkinsons. She just got her medical cannabis prescription. Thank you sooo much for posting this video. Hang in there Ian. You are a rockstar!
hi sire i hope your mother feels good, my mother too has same disease and i have some question about this curative If allowed Can I send you email thank you
Incredible. People have difficulty getting access to medical Marijuana, yet can buy the most destructive drug (alcohol) literally anywhere. Good luck to you, sir.
Those reasons are why the pharmaceutical industry is fighting so hard to keep it illegal: they can't control it, and therefore profit off of human suffering It's a cruel ol' world out there Hey hey hey hey hey... smoke weed erryday
And it doesn't have to get you high. There are strains with low to no psychoactive effects, so even children can take it (though I suggest they don't smoke it. It also comes in pill and oil form).

Dear Mr. Frizell, it's heart-breaking to see how devastating parkinson's can be. Thank you for your video. I admire your fortitude and willingness to show the positive effects cannabis has on your condition. Best regards

people need legalization. the world needs it. big corporations are the only ones standing in the way. thanks so much Ian for sharing living proof of the usefulness of this amazing substance. hug to you and keep vaping!
It still blows my mind how effective it is for Parkinson’s disease. Such an awful disease but thankfully marijuana has been becoming widely accepted making it easier for folks like you to live day by day!
Full stop is like saying "Period" at the end of a sentence. A Period "." is actually a "Full stop". Just at some point in history us Americans started calling it period.
I think he is saying like alcohol, just outright legal. None of the medical marijuana bulls**t just legalize it... the ban started for reasons completely unrelated to any supposed negative health impacts (and to some degree some rather racist reasons to,) all the propaganda about harm it can do is all based on very questionable information (considering 99% of the harm that comes from it is because it is illegal so people can get arrested, can lose their jobs or fail to get a job, etc...) so all this hesitant uh maybe we should legalize it for medicine is ridiculous. There is literally no reason whatsoever that things like alcohol and tobacco can be legal for recreational use and marijuana is still illegal... or at least no legitimate reason.
It's fantastic. We as a civilization are being denied something that has so many benefits because of greed and power by a relatively small number of people, government, and corporations. Marijuana needs to be legalized for adults everywhere now. We'll look back on this time in 50 years with more disdain than towards prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s.
+Mark McElroy no, it's definitely because of greed. it's the same as alcohol used to be, and how prostitution is. if they can't regulate it 100% then they won't make it legal. they want to control the flow of money.
We are being denied because of the pharmaceutical companies not having a way to control it. If it is legalized, many people will responsibly self medicate instead of having to use expensive pharmaceuticals. We would be free to use it for our health, big pharma will lose money. You could probably also throw the prison system in as a reason to not legalize too, how could they keep those private and very expensive prisons operating at full capacity if marijuana was legal?
All we gotta do is make sure all the pensioners are properly informed about this and the effect cannabis has on other serious medical conditions. They have a lot of power and can get things moving fast. This violation of our human rights has to stop, we all know Cannabis being illegal has nothing to do with anything but cold hard cash.
dude...i've seen this kinds shit in action (took 27Mins 41sec) for my friends friend, i know right. Still for legal reasons for this person to say...This is bullshit!...why have they been hiding this for me for 10 years...he past away 10 years ago to the day.
I fully support your views Ian and am pleased you get some relief by using cannabis. Mother nature holds some wonderful cures but your case isn't being helped by the foul language being used in some of the comments below. Those against using cannabis will use this to further their opposition by saying look at the standard of people who want to legalise it. They will say "If people who leave comments don't have sufficient command of English without using bad language then why should we consider their views".
Just like I use the inane tripe and illogical facts spouted by the illiterate opponents of medical marijuana...Free speech. After reading a few of them I have to agree... I'm glad these people are vocal about it but they definitely come off as the 16 year old smoking out of an apple on their parent's roof to hide it.
You'd be hard pressed to find any TH-cam video with a ton of views without foul language in the comments. So I think your concern is kind of a moot point. This is the internet after all.
Sad that people use such foul language as it demeans them greatly. I'm a wood turner and watch scores of uploads every week and never a hint of bad language.
The surgery he refers to at the beginning Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS is the implantation of a device in the brain which helps mitigate tremors by stimulating parts of the brain. The implant is on at the beginning but is switched off for his demonstration.
he's only just turned his deep brain stimulation off. it takes a moment for the tremors to start again when the power to the wires in his brain is cut.
Bless you Sir! We must fight until the day marijuana is legalised. At least for medical purposes. Europe is ruled by troglodytes more preoccupied by the plight of immigrants than the health of their own citizens!
.....very happy to see...hope it goes thru.....it works........I have the same.....Parkinsons with Dystonia, and some Lewy Bodies.............4yrs now and Ive pushed back the symptoms, off all but one med, and I can exercise every day now........life is so much better........I can live again........
Good on you mate!!! I'm happy it helps. I was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago, still stage 1 relapsing remitting, but I hear that marijuana tablets or oils can be if great benefit to those who suffer from MS symptoms too, even slowing down the progression of the disease. Although I am stage 1 still, I have many horrible symptoms especially full body stiffness and pain. My memory is getting worse etc. I'm hoping the clinic that do prescribe medical marijuana down the road not far from me will be able to help. I heard you say your foot curls over, probably very stiff and would be very painful. I have seen this in Parkinson disease sufferers, and if it helps you with that awful symptom, it may help the full body stiffness I get. Thankyou for sharing your post. May Jesus bless you and bring healing to your body... Stace from Melbourne Australia
How in the hell that anyone left on this entire planet can still be against this is beyond my understanding. There is no reason with the access to information that anyone should still have their head up their own ass. I'm happy for you man.
This is an amazing demonstration of the positive effects of marijuana. Imagine Ian simply growing his own medicine at home. Imagine the money he would save.
You’re amazing mate! And thank you for posting! It cannot be easy to see yourself like this however it’s important that the world understands the benefits of completely natural substance ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I hope you’re well ❤️❤️
I visit Amsterdam often and wish the UK would adopt the same attitude as the Dutch do towards marijuana, ie, it's tolerated by everyone and it pisses me off the UK is intolerant to it.
Very interesting, ive got a tremor in my right arm/hand and my jaw as well, I tried it as an little experiment.....and it certainly works!!! Helps a lot with the cramps and stiffness, I would certainly support its medical use as im a bit apprehensive about going on to L-Dopa.
I was apprehensive too, but in the end I tried L-Dopa. It didn't work for me as Carbodopa/Levodopa, but did as Benserazide/Levodopa - the side effects were dreadful, though.
the fact that this magical plant that is proven to have medicinal effects in many areas is illegal in 2016, and Tobacco companies are spending millions to lobby against the legalisation of weed when we all know Tobacco kills hundreds of thousands of people every year, yet there is not one death due to Marijuana consumption recorded in human history.
I'm not going to say youre wrong, cause I know you are not. But nearly everyone who says marijuana should be legal, are those that use it for recreational use and don't want to get caught doing so. They don't care that it helps people like this gentlemen, they just want to do it without the repercussions. I think alcohol should be illegal cause people are dumb as hell and don't understand moderation and I think cigarette should be illegal also cause people shouldn't be dying or suffering from something as stupid as that. Marijuana should ONLY be legal through prescriptions and recreational use should remain illegal cause like alcohol people are dumb ass shit when they smoke it also like. And don't tell me it doesn't do anything inhibitory cause I see my friends do it and they are obivoulsy impaired.
+Jesus Christ " How about you let people do whatever the fuck they want? and before you spout your pseudoscientific nonsense, how about you learn to spell first"? Give the guy a break, he is just stoned.
Chase, so even when you see and hear this man's situation, you just can't take it at face value? Do you believe guns and knives should be illegal because of the things people do with them? How about sugar in soft drinks? The high amounts of sugars in drinks are a big contributor to obesity which leads to health problems and a strain on the medical system.
Hi Ian, I'm glad you've found an alternative medication that seems to work. May I ask -- how long does the effect last for depending on dosage, how long until the effects start to take hold, and how soon do the effects wear off -- is it gradually, or immediately after a certain amount of time? Genuinely interested. Thanks
God Bless you Sir. My Dad had Alzheimer's and Dementia. CBD tincture really helped him. Unfortunately, today marks his 1 year of leaving us. I believe his life improved much after the CBD but it was already too late 😢
Amazing! I do not use any drugs, but I see very well that is used in situations like yours. I'm glad it make your life better and hopefully soon a cure for Parkinson.
i smoke pot daily, i rarely drink. weed truly is harmless and with the addition of cbd is known to actually attack cancer cells and basically make them commit suicide. the only downside to pot I've noticed is slightly affecting my memory. I'm not a heavy smoker, but I've noticed with some people who smoke heavy all day every day, their mental sharpness seems to be lessened. Pot should be legalized within a year in Canada, which is amazing, and I might even consider getting my medical license before then. I'm glad people are coming around and realizing that pot isn't what the media has previously made it out to be.
I have worked with people who would easily smoke 5-10 grams per day. Their mind was sharp, they had college education and their memory wasn't reduced in any way from 10-20 years of use. I found personally that moderate use sharpened my memory, and I could suddenly remember so much more from my youth. Medicines I have used for various illnesses has caused my memory to fade, but cannabis seemed to correct this.
We need legalization globally, especially for medicinal use. It truly is the evil of our governments that prevents such from happening. Never feel bad for what you have to use to treat your condition man, God bless.
I will remember this Thankyou!!! I had MRI recently to check if I have parkinsons! It's been downward spiral since I retired n February. I believe since I got jabbed it's had negative reaction
my grandfather was a great man who lived a great life, even won a grammy. but, he developed parkinson’s and ended up succumbing to it. i just wish i knew about this when he was alive. this made me cry out of happiness and sadness :,).
I watched your video on Facebook about 5 months ago and it was the final step and convincing me to try medical marijuana for my lupus which is out of control and defying all treatments... I normally run a fever daily have Painful skin blisters and constant muscle and joint pain. I am also constantly exhausted. now that I know what strains work for me I have achieved a sense of relief that I never thought possible I thought that pain and discomfort we're going to be my lot in life for the rest of my life but now thanks to a small pinch of marijuana at night and in the morning I am able to play with my nieces and nephews again workout be with my friends and my boyfriend without the nagging burden of pain and exhaustion. I just want to say thank you so much for inspiring me and showing me that I should try anything and everything that might help before I give up on my life.
Thank you for posting this. We need to have more people showing and sharing their experiences with the medicine and help change the stereotypes that go with it.
Fuck the "awareness of the medical benefits of cannabis" bullshit. We need to raise the awareness that *IT IS NOT FUCKING NORMAL TO ASK SOMEONE FOR A PERMISSION FOR THIS.* I never touched pot, I hate its smell, but the fact that you have to ask for a permission to grow a plant is absolutely bizarre.
Thank you for sharing. My uncles recently been diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s after his covid vaccine. He was fine before so we’re looking for some help for him
i wonder if marijuana would help with somebody who has parkinsons bad like a stage 5 or stage 4... my grandpa has bad parkinsons, hes in a wheel chair and he tries hard to walk sometimes he can and sometimes he cant. he hallucinates, doesnt recognize anyone at times, and i was wondering if just a regular joint of weed if he took a drag would help him when his parkinsons flare up
It's difficult to say with any certainty. It's unlikely to help with his walking, and may make him even more unsteady. If he suffers anxiety, depression, dystonia or tremor then he may get some benefit. Sorry I can't be of more help. Cheers, Ian
Amazing Ian, good on you mate. Don't let the archaic silly laws prevent you form having the quality of life you deserve. Wishing you all the best mate!
There's no doubt Marijuana has many positive effects on every patient who's suffering a neurogical disease just like Parkinson. Every country should legalize Marijuana medical using.
It’s undeniable that marijuana is one of the most amazing natural medicine on earth. I mean stories of people having such bad seizures that medicine had no effect then they take cbd and have almost no seizures or zero.
Bravo Ian !! I am sending this to Jeremy Hunt with a plea that he investigates what could be a CHEAP and effective drug that could mean so much relief for so many. Keep strong. We're all right behind you xx
All my respect for you and thank you very much for the demonstration on your own. You can be proud and grateful for finding the right medication, finally. I wish you all the best for the rest of your life.
He literally said he used a vaporizer. He had someone help him, obviously. People with parkinson's don't live alone, generally, unless when using deep brain stimulation.
It can be previously loaded and ready to go. Perhaps each time after he smokes and he is still and calm , he packs a bowl for the next attack? That way loading and smoking is never an issue. I do this with my tremors from a spinal diseAse (my tremor is much less than his though) and I'm always ready!
Thank you IAN!!!! Make them stop wasting federal money/taxpayer money to control a plant. Vegetables make you feel stronger and have more energy, so vegetables must be a drug, huh? legalisetheplants
Hope you feel better now. In fact, No need research or stats, just come to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Yemen and etc then count Parkinson patients. I haven't seen Parkinson patient till now by myself, just like Rona, I have heard that boy in law of my friend's of friend's friend had a paternal uncle who was suffering from Parkinson after a sever car accident. Avoid medical traders! Note: They wanna see you die in suffer, haven't you realized yet?
I have epilepsy, fibromyalgia, daily migraines... And the list goes on and on. Just as you said, the many prescribed medications I am on cause more problems than they help, often requiring even more medications to counteract the ones giving me troubles. Back in 2011, my neurologist recommended I try medical marijuana. Having told my children all their life not to do drugs, I was hesitant. In desperation, I finally decided to try it. What a difference! I mainly use the CBD oil for the seizures, but it is very expensive. I also use the Indica strain to help with my appetite and pain. However, the sativa makes my mind race, and I'm agitated whenever I try to use it. Keep posting videos so those people who deny its benefits can actually see the proof of how well it works.
I know this is old but if you're still having issues with the expense, consider growing it yourself. Lot's of info online and that way you don't fund the illegal drugs trade.
I take it for chronic pain, just the CBD no THC. I can actually function now, today I'm doing my laundry, something I could not do before and yes, I like to be independent and do things for myself.
Unfortunately Ian, it's all about the £££. If they ever do legalise cannabis for medicinal use it will be under extreme duress. As you would have seen on the Sunday Morning Live website, they are far too obsessed with making money for other drugs, i.e. alcohol. I could go on but I won't. Take care and good luck to you.
That's what we thought in the US, but we are fighting through it. Stay positive everyone. It won't be soon enough, but it'll all come together. It's just a matter of time.
I too suffer from PD. I work a full time job trying to manage and conceal my symptoms. I cannot tolerate PD prescription drugs. My Human Resources manager maintains draconian antiquated view points about cannabis. I have to sneak and hide my extremely minimal cannabis use to circumvent random drug testing. What a shame. I just want the option to be able to try to live a better life.
It's a gateway drug to a better life.
its not a drug its an herb the reason why its not called a drug cannot get addicted to it like meds and its impossible to overdose plus marijuana can not kill you there's not one case of anyone died from it
yea if anything lmao!

Amen! And it's a plant. The yanks made it a drug and also named it Marjuana so that it sounded more Mexican. Bunch of whoppers!!
@@bradleycallison you can become addicted to it its just really rare and in extreme cases

I can't really help answer any of that. If you live where medical marijuana is legal I highly recommend talking to a dispensary. They are always very nice and helpful and can help you find the strain that is right for your father.
Thanks for being brave enough to make this video and to show the positive effects.

Very educational and a great video for raising awareness to the medical benefits of cannabis, great job with the video and I hope you continue to find relief!
Thank you!
agreed.
Ian, are you familiar with the type of marijuana you are using? is it high in CBN or CBD?
It's really inspiring to see that Parkinson can be relieved without the need of pills.
street marijuana. Current strain is Northern Lights, so high THC
wanna watch the video where he tries to roll a joint
hahaha thank you for the laugh
this is fucked up lmaoooo
I know the phrase "LOL" gets thrown around recklessly, but I literally laughed my ass off. Well done sir

He probably likes that joke xD

Years later you are still my hero. It took pioneers like you to show the rest of us to listen and learn.

+Mark McElroy no, it's definitely because of greed. it's the same as alcohol used to be, and how prostitution is. if they can't regulate it 100% then they won't make it legal. they want to control the flow of money.
We are being denied because of the pharmaceutical companies not having a way to control it. If it is legalized, many people will responsibly self medicate instead of having to use expensive pharmaceuticals. We would be free to use it for our health, big pharma will lose money. You could probably also throw the prison system in as a reason to not legalize too, how could they keep those private and very expensive prisons operating at full capacity if marijuana was legal?
All we gotta do is make sure all the pensioners are properly informed about this and the effect cannabis has on other serious medical conditions. They have a lot of power and can get things moving fast. This violation of our human rights has to stop, we all know Cannabis being illegal has nothing to do with anything but cold hard cash.
Yep Re educate the voting base E.G the older generation, the anti cancer and anti alzheimers properties of cannabis is reason alone to ingest it.
it's a tough project but it would reap so many benefits for everyone.
The only effect it has on serious medical conditions is positive.
Yes benefits everyone except the elite money makers...
dude...i've seen this kinds shit in action (took 27Mins 41sec) for my friends friend, i know right. Still for legal reasons for this person to say...This is bullshit!...why have they been hiding this for me for 10 years...he past away 10 years ago to the day.
I fully support your views Ian and am pleased you get some relief by using cannabis. Mother nature holds some wonderful cures but your case isn't being helped by the foul language being used in some of the comments below.
Those against using cannabis will use this to further their opposition by saying look at the standard of people who want to legalise it.
They will say "If people who leave comments don't have sufficient command of English without using bad language then why should we consider their views".
Hi Alan. Thanks for your comments. I agree regarding the foul language in comments, and am just about to sift through a few of them...
Just like I use the inane tripe and illogical facts spouted by the illiterate opponents of medical marijuana...Free speech. After reading a few of them I have to agree... I'm glad these people are vocal about it but they definitely come off as the 16 year old smoking out of an apple on their parent's roof to hide it.
You are living proof of the good herbs perks. Keep smoking my man.
You'd be hard pressed to find any TH-cam video with a ton of views without foul language in the comments. So I think your concern is kind of a moot point. This is the internet after all.
Sad that people use such foul language as it demeans them greatly. I'm a wood turner and watch scores of uploads every week and never a hint of bad language.
Wow, incredible. Astounding how well it works. Cheers from sunny Arizona!
why doesnt he shake the first seconds?
Deep brain simulation, google it
The surgery he refers to at the beginning Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS is the implantation of a device in the brain which helps mitigate tremors by stimulating parts of the brain. The implant is on at the beginning but is switched off for his demonstration.
he's only just turned his deep brain stimulation off. it takes a moment for the tremors to start again when the power to the wires in his brain is cut.
is there some drawback to using dbs as opposed to marijuana?
And it can fail
Very informative! Ive always wanted to see how it helps, could you possibly do a timelapse?
Bless you Sir! We must fight until the day marijuana is legalised. At least for medical purposes. Europe is ruled by troglodytes more preoccupied by the plight of immigrants than the health of their own citizens!
Wishing you the best of luck, cannabis is a healing plant, we need to help spread information like this
Thank you for sharing this. Hope you can help some people find some relief!
.....very happy to see...hope it goes thru.....it works........I have the same.....Parkinsons with Dystonia, and some Lewy Bodies.............4yrs now and Ive pushed back the symptoms, off all but one med, and I can exercise every day now........life is so much better........I can live again........
Good on you mate!!! I'm happy it helps. I was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago, still stage 1 relapsing remitting, but I hear that marijuana tablets or oils can be if great benefit to those who suffer from MS symptoms too, even slowing down the progression of the disease. Although I am stage 1 still, I have many horrible symptoms especially full body stiffness and pain. My memory is getting worse etc.
I'm hoping the clinic that do prescribe medical marijuana down the road not far from me will be able to help.
I heard you say your foot curls over, probably very stiff and would be very painful. I have seen this in Parkinson disease sufferers, and if it helps you with that awful symptom, it may help the full body stiffness I get.
Thankyou for sharing your post. May Jesus bless you and bring healing to your body...

How in the hell that anyone left on this entire planet can still be against this is beyond my understanding. There is no reason with the access to information that anyone should still have their head up their own ass. I'm happy for you man.

Doctors can't even find good studies on the benefits of it, because it's federally illegal. Ugh! Take it off schedule I and put fentynol on it.
@@sharonsimmons6427 i find many doctors stupid ive seen many videos where a chiropractor was the solution and not surgery or drugs its insans
Mariguana should be legal man. People like him need it.
Strong video. thanks for having the courage of uploading this.
Weed has the opposite effect on me. It makes my hands jerk up and down a lot.
Amazing sir. Bless you and thanks for sharing your story. I am so glad it helps you as much as it helps me for my medical issues. Much love!
Thank you so much for having the courage to do this video!
This is an amazing demonstration of the positive effects of marijuana. Imagine Ian simply growing his own medicine at home. Imagine the money he would save.
It's not accidental it's been prohibited for a century.
You’re amazing mate! And thank you for posting! It cannot be easy to see yourself like this however it’s important that the world understands the benefits of completely natural substance ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I hope you’re well ❤️❤️
I visit Amsterdam often and wish the UK would adopt the same attitude as the Dutch do towards marijuana, ie, it's tolerated by everyone and it pisses me off the UK is intolerant to it.
Very interesting, ive got a tremor in my right arm/hand and my jaw as well, I tried it as an little experiment.....and it certainly works!!! Helps a lot with the cramps and stiffness, I would certainly support its medical use as im a bit apprehensive about going on to L-Dopa.
I was apprehensive too, but in the end I tried L-Dopa. It didn't work for me as Carbodopa/Levodopa, but did as Benserazide/Levodopa - the side effects were dreadful, though.
Thanks for making this video. It's things like this that will, over time, change the zeitgeist in a positive direction.
Whatever make you happier and less comfortable should be legalized . Great video for showing people . Thank you and be safe
What is the duration of the relieve you receive from that dosage?
About 3 hours.
the fact that this magical plant that is proven to have medicinal effects in many areas is illegal in 2016, and Tobacco companies are spending millions to lobby against the legalisation of weed when we all know Tobacco kills hundreds of thousands of people every year, yet there is not one death due to Marijuana consumption recorded in human history.
I'm not going to say youre wrong, cause I know you are not. But nearly everyone who says marijuana should be legal, are those that use it for recreational use and don't want to get caught doing so. They don't care that it helps people like this gentlemen, they just want to do it without the repercussions. I think alcohol should be illegal cause people are dumb as hell and don't understand moderation and I think cigarette should be illegal also cause people shouldn't be dying or suffering from something as stupid as that. Marijuana should ONLY be legal through prescriptions and recreational use should remain illegal cause like alcohol people are dumb ass shit when they smoke it also like. And don't tell me it doesn't do anything inhibitory cause I see my friends do it and they are obivoulsy impaired.
+Jesus Christ " How about you let people do whatever the fuck they want? and before you spout your pseudoscientific nonsense, how about you learn to spell first"? Give the guy a break, he is just stoned.
Chase, so even when you see and hear this man's situation, you just can't take it at face value? Do you believe guns and knives should be illegal because of the things people do with them? How about sugar in soft drinks? The high amounts of sugars in drinks are a big contributor to obesity which leads to health problems and a strain on the medical system.
Hi Ian, I'm glad you've found an alternative medication that seems to work. May I ask -- how long does the effect last for depending on dosage, how long until the effects start to take hold, and how soon do the effects wear off -- is it gradually, or immediately after a certain amount of time? Genuinely interested. Thanks
The dose that I took lasts about 3 hours. It takes effect in just a few minutes, and wears off gradually.
Could anyone please update me on ians condition, I was a friend of his many years ago, we lost touch, I just hope he's ok, thank you, Paul b.
I'm still alive and kicking, thanks Paul.
God Bless you Sir. My Dad had Alzheimer's and Dementia. CBD tincture really helped him. Unfortunately, today marks his 1 year of leaving us. I believe his life improved much after the CBD but it was already too late 😢
Cannabis has helped me through depressing times. It’s a miracle flower!
This is amazing Ian. I am glad you found something that helps with your tremors. Keep fighting the good fight brother!
Amazing! I do not use any drugs, but I see very well that is used in situations like yours. I'm glad it make your life better and hopefully soon a cure for Parkinson.
How long does the relief last?
I'm glad you made this video, and wish you all the best.
lasts around 3 hours
how long does that compare to the prescription meds?
My dad has this awful condition. I've TOLD him about this, some years ago.....but it's the GETTING of the Cannabis. Problematic!
Oh boy, get ready for some views.
Damn, about 10 views a second.
Why did I suddenly get loads of views? I had about 600 views when I went to bed, and 23,000 this morning. How did you find my video?
It was posted to Reddit and reached the frontpage.
Welcome to the front page of reddit dude. Awesome video by the way, im stoned watching it and it''s inspiring.
It is inspiring. I too hope to get parkinson's one day.
i smoke pot daily, i rarely drink. weed truly is harmless and with the addition of cbd is known to actually attack cancer cells and basically make them commit suicide. the only downside to pot I've noticed is slightly affecting my memory. I'm not a heavy smoker, but I've noticed with some people who smoke heavy all day every day, their mental sharpness seems to be lessened. Pot should be legalized within a year in Canada, which is amazing, and I might even consider getting my medical license before then. I'm glad people are coming around and realizing that pot isn't what the media has previously made it out to be.
I have worked with people who would easily smoke 5-10 grams per day. Their mind was sharp, they had college education and their memory wasn't reduced in any way from 10-20 years of use. I found personally that moderate use sharpened my memory, and I could suddenly remember so much more from my youth. Medicines I have used for various illnesses has caused my memory to fade, but cannabis seemed to correct this.
We need legalization globally, especially for medicinal use. It truly is the evil of our governments that prevents such from happening. Never feel bad for what you have to use to treat your condition man, God bless.
I will remember this Thankyou!!! I had MRI recently to check if I have parkinsons! It's been downward spiral since I retired n February. I believe since I got jabbed it's had negative reaction
You're very brave to publicly stand up for what you believe I'm sure that many people will find your video interesting. Good luck and very best wishes
Thanks!
my grandfather was a great man who lived a great life, even won a grammy. but, he developed parkinson’s and ended up succumbing to it. i just wish i knew about this when he was alive. this made me cry out of happiness and sadness :,).
I watched your video on Facebook about 5 months ago and it was the final step and convincing me to try medical marijuana for my lupus which is out of control and defying all treatments... I normally run a fever daily have Painful skin blisters and constant muscle and joint pain. I am also constantly exhausted. now that I know what strains work for me I have achieved a sense of relief that I never thought possible I thought that pain and discomfort we're going to be my lot in life for the rest of my life but now thanks to a small pinch of marijuana at night and in the morning I am able to play with my nieces and nephews again workout be with my friends and my boyfriend without the nagging burden of pain and exhaustion. I just want to say thank you so much for inspiring me and showing me that I should try anything and everything that might help before I give up on my life.
I hadn't realised that it could provide such relief for lupus - I have a friend with lupus - I will show her your comment! Thank you!
Thank you for posting this. We need to have more people showing and sharing their experiences with the medicine and help change the stereotypes that go with it.
Fuck the "awareness of the medical benefits of cannabis" bullshit. We need to raise the awareness that *IT IS NOT FUCKING NORMAL TO ASK SOMEONE FOR A PERMISSION FOR THIS.*
I never touched pot, I hate its smell, but the fact that you have to ask for a permission to grow a plant is absolutely bizarre.
Thank you for sharing. My uncles recently been diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s after his covid vaccine. He was fine before so we’re looking for some help for him
It is amazing! I don't know where you live, but here in Florida, USA, the medical use is up for vote in Nov 2016. I vote yes!!
This is amazing, thank you for the video. I was wondering, how long did the symptoms subside for? Many thanks and good luck
About 3 hours.
Bless you for posting this. I'm in the same boat
i wonder if marijuana would help with somebody who has parkinsons bad like a stage 5 or stage 4... my grandpa has bad parkinsons, hes in a wheel chair and he tries hard to walk sometimes he can and sometimes he cant. he hallucinates, doesnt recognize anyone at times, and i was wondering if just a regular joint of weed if he took a drag would help him when his parkinsons flare up
It's difficult to say with any certainty. It's unlikely to help with his walking, and may make him even more unsteady. If he suffers anxiety, depression, dystonia or tremor then he may get some benefit. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Cheers,
Ian
Amazing Ian, good on you mate. Don't let the archaic silly laws prevent you form having the quality of life you deserve. Wishing you all the best mate!
I use medical marijuana for my fibromyalgia, only MEDICINE that works.
Doctors ignore stuff like this for bigger paychecks. I'm glad it's helping you, does for me and my mental problems.
There's no doubt Marijuana has many positive effects on every patient who's suffering a neurogical disease just like Parkinson. Every country should legalize Marijuana medical using.
How long does this effect of marijuana last?
Smoked or vaporized 1-5 hours, eaten 4-12 hours.
it depends on your personal tolerance, weight and strain I would presume.
Kafiristanica So he'd need to smoke like Snoop dogg, to stay fresh.
Exactly. Wow ur wicked smaht.
3 hours
It’s undeniable that marijuana is one of the most amazing natural medicine on earth. I mean stories of people having such bad seizures that medicine had no effect then they take cbd and have almost no seizures or zero.
Dude, I don't know why I started tearing up watching you at first. I hope only the best for you. You are such an amazing person!
Legalise it for everyone,you have problems with parkinson and me and my friends have problems with stress(exams),cool video bro,you have my like
Bravo Ian !! I am sending this to Jeremy Hunt with a plea that he investigates what could be a CHEAP and effective drug that could mean so much relief for so many. Keep strong. We're all right behind you xx
Thank you so much for this video. I tell Parkinsons patients about the benefits of cannabis, THC, and CBD everyday.
Jesus made this plant for our collective healing it has fixed most of my ailments! Praise Jesus!
Which ailments has it fixed for you?
@@butsirrr dry flaky facial skin, obesity, plantar fascitis, low HDL cholesterol
Hi Ian. Brazilian here ✌. Congratulations for share your video. Its really important other people see the effect. Thank you.
Thank you for doing this video on behalf of everyone who advocates for these draconian laws to be changed
Why the f**k is the kid from BACK-TO-THE-FUTURE NOT ON THIS KIND OF WEED ????????😢??????💙????
All my respect for you and thank you very much for the demonstration on your own.
You can be proud and grateful for finding the right medication, finally.
I wish you all the best for the rest of your life.
I want to see him load his vaporizer with that tremor. Must be a pain in the ass.
He literally said he used a vaporizer.
He had someone help him, obviously. People with parkinson's don't live alone, generally, unless when using deep brain stimulation.
Unless after each use, he pre-load another one for the next time and so on...
I was waiting for him to whip out the bong...would have been rad
Are you a sadist?
It can be previously loaded and ready to go. Perhaps each time after he smokes and he is still and calm , he packs a bowl for the next attack? That way loading and smoking is never an issue. I do this with my tremors from a spinal diseAse (my tremor is much less than his though) and I'm always ready!
Thank you IAN!!!! Make them stop wasting federal money/taxpayer money to control a plant. Vegetables make you feel stronger and have more energy, so vegetables must be a drug, huh? legalisetheplants
Poor guy. It must suck when you start to tremble. I have anxiety so I shake a little but nothing compared to that. it must be embarrassing. I
It is very embarrassing, yes.
+Ian Frizell I'm sorry you have to go through that. :-( It must be hard.
Thank you for your concern.
Hope you feel better now.
In fact, No need research or stats, just come to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Yemen and etc then count Parkinson patients. I haven't seen Parkinson patient till now by myself, just like Rona, I have heard that boy in law of my friend's of friend's friend had a paternal uncle who was suffering from Parkinson after a sever car accident.
Avoid medical traders!
Note:
They wanna see you die in suffer, haven't you realized yet?
I have epilepsy, fibromyalgia, daily migraines... And the list goes on and on. Just as you said, the many prescribed medications I am on cause more problems than they help, often requiring even more medications to counteract the ones giving me troubles.
Back in 2011, my neurologist recommended I try medical marijuana. Having told my children all their life not to do drugs, I was hesitant. In desperation, I finally decided to try it. What a difference! I mainly use the CBD oil for the seizures, but it is very expensive. I also use the Indica strain to help with my appetite and pain. However, the sativa makes my mind race, and I'm agitated whenever I try to use it.
Keep posting videos so those people who deny its benefits can actually see the proof of how well it works.
I know this is old but if you're still having issues with the expense, consider growing it yourself. Lot's of info online and that way you don't fund the illegal drugs trade.
I take it for chronic pain, just the CBD no THC. I can actually function now, today I'm doing my laundry, something I could not do before and yes, I like to be independent and do things for myself.
Unfortunately Ian, it's all about the £££. If they ever do legalise cannabis for medicinal use it will be under extreme duress.
As you would have seen on the Sunday Morning Live website, they are far too obsessed with making money for other drugs, i.e. alcohol. I could go on but I won't.
Take care and good luck to you.
I tend to agree with you, and I find it very sad...
That's what we thought in the US, but we are fighting through it. Stay positive everyone. It won't be soon enough, but it'll all come together. It's just a matter of time.
Thanks for sharing this video. I wish you as much comfortable life as possible, Ian.
Thank you for sharing this in the community, and helping to become aware of the great medicine we have at our disposal. Greetings from Argentina
I too suffer from PD. I work a full time job trying to manage and conceal my symptoms. I cannot tolerate PD prescription drugs. My Human Resources manager maintains draconian antiquated view points about cannabis. I have to sneak and hide my extremely minimal cannabis use to circumvent random drug testing. What a shame. I just want the option to be able to try to live a better life.
Thank you very much for posting this video & showing a legitimate medical use of cannabis.
I rVery interesting… It’s good that you do this videos… Especially when We are hampered by the legal issue… Andy
