"The primary symptoms are the results of decreased stimulation of the motor cortex by the basal ganglia, normally caused by the insufficient formation and action of dopamine, which is produced in the dopaminergic neurons of the brain." -Wikipedia
my grandfather has parkinson’s disease, but is really chill. would him smoking weed help his disease at all? because parkinsons is a disease that is caused by "insufficient formation and action" would smoking pot help him?

I heard that Rush accused Michael J. Fox of exaggerating his Parkinson’s Disease symptoms for political gain.
"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease," Limbaugh told listeners. "He’s moving all around and shaking and it’s purely an act. . . . This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn’t take his medication or he’s acting."
– The Washington Post
He said that if it was proven that these types of behavior (hands shaking, poor balance, swaying) were proven to be normal effects of the disease and/or treatment, he would apologize to Fox.
Several experts have since then come forward and stated that this swaying is part of the process of adjusting the treatment for the disease, and is something very typically seen in Parkinson’s patients.
Did Rush ever apologize for his offensive accusation?
Old Goat – Please link to the video you’re referring to so I know what you’re talking about
Old Goat – Please provide evidence from a reliable source (not right or left wing bloggers, or papers known to distort facts). Saying there’s evidence to support your opinion and not providing it, is saying nothing at all.
Dallas — you’re wrong. How about YOU check it out for yourself.
