Re: Is it right to break the law to bring relief to the ravages of chronic illness
Robert, may I suggest that if you belong to a PD support group or even if you know someone else who is suffering the same as you, don't ever be afraid to approach them discreetly and let them know what the two shop assistants told you about the benefits of taking Cannibis to alleviate the shaking and other unpleasant symptoms that you have to endure with having PD.I would imagine that anyone in the same boat may perhaps use it as a medicinal aid, and would perhaps be only too happy to tell you of their experience, of it's use the type of effect and yes, benefit you can expect from it's use.
If this type of approach to talk to others does not appeal to you, then don't hesitate to have a word with your Doctor. He is there to help you and is not going to fall off his chair in shock if you ask him about the medicinal benefits of Cannabis. I can practically guarantee you will not be the first person to inquire from him or her. If there is anything that can ease the unpleasant symptoms of your illness and perhaps make your life more pleasant, then as I said previously, go for it. I wouldn't hesitate if it was me.
All the best Robert xx

Robert it is legal now in the UK and you don't need to start smoking it. I am only saying this incase you are a non smoker and you don't want to start.

But a word or warning I would ask your consultant or your gp first and see if they have any knowledge on a good source where you can purchase it from. You may well be able to get it through the NHS.
Some of the adverts on the internet maybe dodgy and just after your money.
Do you not have a support group that you can talk to about this and maybe some one on there will be using Hemp Oil and they could tell you where to purchase.
Good luck which ever way you go mate.
Robert, think that's the best advice from Dongle, talk to your consultant to see if it would help you first, then find a safe source of supply, but do stay safe.
I agree with talking to a support group too.
I wish you all the luck in the world. x

Re: Is it right to break the law to bring relief to the ravages of chronic illness
I have been overwhelmed and humbled by the responses to my post, every one of them. I respect & give thanks particularly for the honest & thoughtful members who have tried to support & encourage me.I have had PD for 23 years & I have good support from my family , friends & health professionals .
My symptoms have worsened considerably since downsizing to a small flat in the city centre 2 years ago 7 my meds are at just about at their limit before the side effects become worse than the condition itself.
But I am positive in life and hope for more good days than bad & the good grace to cope with the stumbling blocks which hinder me.
I have a good sense of humour which was why the 2 “shopgirls” gave me cause to smile first and then ponder.
Rather like Gert & Daisy (Elsie & Doris Walters) exchanges back in the day.
Thank you all for your time & effort today.

surely Tarantula, with less than 2,000 posts can do the same.
Particularly when many here insist on 'fiddling' with User Names - and even use 'given' names instead.

Whilst certain posts have been removed - so it is impossible to know - I see NO personal insults from Tarantula.
I can however, find truckloads of crap directed at her - which have not been removed.

HiMy Father, a genuinely lovely man, got sudden onset Parkinson's.
Anything that was available would have been good.
PD Sufferers are no threat to Society at all
A 79 year old man who has not even had a Parking Ticket deserves better.
The Law is stupid.
The OP deserves every help possible.

The best thing about this site is that people are far freer to express their opinions than on other sites.
Long may it continue.
Tarantula has a view of life which I do not agree with, but so what, we are all different.
I actually find her posts quite amusing, I enjoy responding to them, I cannot take them seriously.
At least she just posts her opinions and does not attempt to justify them with posting false facts, which perhaps others do.

What Tarantula did was to use another members name, when suggesting that somebody should be arrested for growing a cannabis plant many years ago. Hence she was accusing an innocent person of committing some kind of crime, when the correct member, who did jokingly admit to growing a plant, was having a laugh at her reaction.
How would you like it if I accused Pumicestone of committing a murder, when the murderer was, in fact, Palmeston?
