Medical Marijuana and Parkinson's Part 2 of 3 

My eyes got watery when he said “this is my latest thrill” :,( What a sweet wholesome man.

The most damning part about this to me was the moment when Larry's wife was listing out all the costs of his other prescriptions, amounting in the hundreds of thousands of dollars... And then she quietly says she just spent $40 total for all of the medicinal marijuana products she just bought for him. That's what this is really about - profit. Nobody wants a cure they can't make money out of.

I am going to be studying medicinal plant chemistry at Northern Michigan University this coming year. This video solidified my need to help patients. I was brought to legitimate tears. Thank you for sharing.

Larry, I sure hope that you are getting the medicine that you need. The difference that it made for you is a miraculous! It made me cry. We are winning! Congress is even questioning why marijuana is classified as a 1 on the drug scale....they have it higher over heroine and crystal meth....are you kidding me? Good luck!

Legalize It!!!!

I got teary-eyed. I hope you are getting the medicine you need these modern days.

Omg this is so wrong!! That is absolutely criminal in every aspect. The money you pay for "medication" is disgusting who ever is responsible should be ashamed and sentenced to a life experiencing parkinsons themselves, the ones in charge are evidently extremely cruel and merciless, i wish you all the best Larry and you have my support. Jamie

He's right about the medication, my mother rest her beautiful soul had a drawer full she took daily. I told her I didn't think it was necessary but she trusted her doctor. I lost her in 2017 at the young age of 68 & I believe to this day that medication she took done more harm than good.

HOW MUCH MONEY DID SHE SAY?!?!? My jaw dropped at those amounts. That is absolutely ludicrous. There is NO regard for human life there. Good gracious......

I don't now how this man isn't the poster person for his disease and the movement, it's incredible to watch the first video and someone brings him over the medicine in a tube , and he takes a dose, it was like a miracle, his facial, and body, and finger movement all changed, to go from that extreme disability to what happened on camera, god blessed unbelievable

I have been to dispensaries that the people who ran it were absolutely horrible and its nice to see someone that is kind enough to take the time to help this man because he definitely needs this medication. This dispensary is very nicely maintained. Most of the ones I know are sooo ghetto. I personally did not feel comfortable with most of the ones I went to. Lets just say they were not to much into appearances. Thats putting it very nicely. Very nice people and patient service.

Thanks for sharing this with everyone about the great healing that medical cannabis creates 👍👏😀☮️

3 000 thousan dollars!!!!!!!!!Damnit!!!!!!!!!!

Buy him a vaporizer its Just 80 bucks for a good one and it realy bring's the best Part out off weed

"this was 40" hahahaha

As someone with seizures they really should legalize it everywhere. It can help a lot of illnesses and not everyone can move to states where it's legal.

A lot has happened in 9 years. I remembering watching this as part of a CNN program in jail when I was 18 years old. I hope he’s doing well

I want to point out an important fact, to anyone who is not familiar with PD. Dyskinesia in NOT a symptom of PD, but a side-effect of PD drugs. So we are talking about the possibility to use cannabis to counteract a side-effect of another drug, we are not talking about dealing with the symptoms of PD directly, nor with "treating PD." Currently, there is no pharmacological treatment for PD. The best, most effective interventions are the ones that use MOVEMENT as medicine. SO MOVEMENT can be discussed as a "treatment", and it can go hand-in-hand with pharmacotherapy, so that both interventions aim toward reinforcing the possibility to move MORE and BETTER.

A majority of Americans want this leaglized . At 60 haven't missed a day without a joint 2-3 😂 haven't been sick with a flu or bug in over 45 years since I started . And it's kept me stable .

Larry is super brave

I'm on part 2 and haven't seen an update since 4 years ago. I hope this ends not so sad.

What a sweetheart of a couple.

I do wish for an update

I’m so glad that you guys have documented this experience! 5 years later and I saw a clip of this on Instagram, I looked it up on RU-vid and here it is! I live In Michigan and it’s legal here now for recreational/medicinal use for ages 21 and up, or with a medical card. It interests me to know that something so natural is so helpful, yet so feared. My parents always told me stay away from drugs and obviously as a kid I listen because, they told me that “all drugs are bad and they can kill you”. But I grew up and I learned Marijuana is actually very helpful and it won’t kill you🤣. It does have side affects that aren’t good, but mostly weed gives people a mellow, relaxed feeling. So it’s crazy that it’s gets treated like Cocaine, or LSD, and DMT, those get sold just as easily on the streets and harm your brain or kill you. And of course there’s Heroin (the death trap), Fentanyl, and Crack, but hopefully we all know to stay as far away as possible from stuff like that. My whole point is, educating the world on the medical use of Marijuana is very helpful so thank you!

Does it work for everyone with such conditions

Why is this 3 parts could be 1 great video

What kind of marijuana though? In the other videos says to rub a drop in his cheek and tongue. My grandma has Parkinson's and we have tried tinctures and extracts with no avail! Should we move to vape? Etc? Please answer!

It should be available for every adult. I'd like to see responsible and well informed seller, like the one in this video. A lot of Coffeeshop I visited in the Netherlands, were like dark, run down pubs - well, a lot of them were fun. I would prefer a system like the Cannabis Social Clubs (CSC) in Spain, were you become a registered member an enjoy or buy Cannabis strains there. Now, that would be for THC-Cannabis users, that want to get HIGH. There is nothing wrong with that. Cannabis may not be healthy to Hardcore-users, but they should be adults or at least 16, which is the age you are allowed to buy beer&wine over here in Germany - a country that accepts to sell liquor at Autobahn-shops and people vomiting in front of Oktoberfest-tents. Compared to alcohol, cannabis is pretty harmless. So why not sell it at specialized shops? Medical patients like Larry should get it with a prescription at every drugstore and the health insurance should pay for it - that's what it does or at least starting to do over here in germany. Good luck, Larry!

Marijuana makes me sick. I have CHS, I get very nauseous and my stomach gets very upset when I take Marijuana.

Hi where do i buy this product?

Poor family. I can see the pain in her eyes :( i feel bad for them both. I know this is an old video but i hope marijuana helped

It is the ONLY good thing about living in Illinois. I also have Parkinson's..it works as shown

Can I Start This In India Please...

I may be grossly wrong, but this doesn't look like Parkinson's Disease. In Parkinson's, the symptoms are mainly tremors, rigidity and bradykinesia (slowness of movements). The speech is usually soft and monotonous. 'Mask-like facies' are often seen, describing little facial expression, as if the person is wearing a mask. The tremors are usually observed in the hands, and are classically described as 'pill-rolling', and are worse when the person is at rest (not concentrating or engaging in tasks). The gait is often unsteady, and the person tends to shuffle the feet while walking, often described as the shuffling gait. Posture is stooped. They often have difficulty turning around in one smooth turn, and has to 'turn by numbers'. This gentleman's symptoms are hence very atypical to that of Parkinson's. He has a lot of facial expressions, often contorted, suggestive of a dyskinesia (different from bradykinesia). His hands exhibit frequent involuntary, non-purposeful movements suggestive of choreiform movements instead of the classic pill-rolling tremor. His gait appears slightly unsteady without the walking stick but it isn't shuffling in nature. In fact his strides are quite wide and smooth. Likewise, his movements, although appearing non-purposeful, are rather quick, in contrast to the slow movements observed in Parkinson's disease. I say this based on the patients I have seen with Parkinson's Disease. However, I do not specialise in neurology or movement disorders, so correct me if I am wrong.

the numbers dont lie and the profits dont either

Oh wow they portion it out right in front of you in California instead of it being pre portioned and sealed like people get it in other dispensaries? If so, that’s pretty cool 😯

They should band alcohol and legalize marijuana. World would be a better place.

it’s crazy how people where do simple minded about weed

I have a daughter with catatonia. I wonder if this would work for her? How is it as simple as taking the oil under the tongue?

I find it very funny how he pronounces the names of the weed with a straight face. I mean he is talking about " medicine" and is like " yo OG Kush, bubble gum, gorilla glue"

They've probably have Medicare and a a supplement plan so I don't see why those two plans don't fund the bulk of the costs? Hopefully, with the potential rescheduling of marijuana from 1 to 3 much more research will be forthcoming. This is so tough on his wife. The results of the marijuana concentrate is remarkable.

Pharmaceutical companies are interested in preventing medical marijuana being a legitimate medication for certain diseases because they make huge profits from treating those diseases with their toxic drugs. $$$

I don't use it, but my boyfriend of almost 15 years has PD. He is at a stage where I believe the meds have stopped working and he is not able to walk easily or bend. He has a certificate or license to legally buy marijuana from his doctor, but he doesn't. I don't know why not as he is "familiar" with it. I wonder if he would fall after using it? I think it would be like being "drunk"/

Time to be adults about it ,but we don't want people thinking for themselves do we

Here in new zealand weed is 1500$ an ounce. Or illegally for 280$ an ounce. Once money is gone. Nobody gets nothin!

"We want to give them a focused medication aimed at a certain specific ailment, so they don't feel like they just came in here to buy pot." "For painrelief this is that Old Hippy OG bud"

Marijuana cures a whole lot of ailments..I was an intervert before taking the marijuana, and more confident. Good by prozac ☺️

$3000 for pills for Parkinson Disease???

Yo... why so huge amount of money to pay for a natural herb...

Come to india bro.💯💯💯its free here..❣️❣️❣️❣️

Try haven dispensary the best

👍

$3000 USD?!?!

Come to Colombia and You can smoke until You die here is almost like free 🤣

Thousands of dollars per week for ONE med. Hint hint why they make marijuana illegal

Please legalize this, I have hepatic carcinoma and have suffered from pain, nausea everyday. I live in NC 😢

I wish some of these people would stop putting so much faith in doctors, I'm not saying they aren't educated & good at what they do but the time of doctors who genuinely cared about their patients has long passed & will never be seen again. It's all about money for the vast majority of them now & that is incredibly sad.

$3000 to fill a prescription... Sheeeesh

So basically cannabis is not allowed for medical treatments but other drugs such as morphine (higher doses and highly addictable than cannabis for pain relief) is legal for treatment? Wow

Too bad my insurance won’t pay for my medical marijuana I have CIDP and my doctor gave me script but I can’t afford it so I don’t use it

She has insurance, but still ended up paying $350,000 for parkinsons medication that didnt work, it made things worse, you should be able to sue

Change the fuckin law and help the people

Seeing him struggle breaks my heart, legalizing it will help a lot of people.

$3,000 to fill up, $250,000 then a new battery $80,000 wow. I’m a Conservative but god am I glad I live in the U.K. where we have single payer healthcare. The vast majority of Conservatives here want single payer tax based healthcare. I get private healthcare with work too (free) which only really helps with elective surgery etc as the wait times for elective surgery can be up to 3 months, normally less but can be. For things like Parkinson’s & cancer there are no wait times as with all emergency care and life threatening care all being done straight away. A prescription fill up here would’ve cost £10.00 but for many with life threatening disease or ailments the cost is free. So prescriptions only cost if you’re earning a certain amount and for prescriptions like antibiotics or asthma for example at the flat rate of £10. A lot of diabetics get their epi-pens for free etc. The treatment he had would be free and done straight away and the battery free too, well not free but we pay national insurance at a rate of zero up to about $275 a week and any earnings after that at 11%. We then have a standard tax at 20% up to $70,000 with the first $17,500 personal allowance that’s not taxable. So $17500-$70,000 at 20%. Then earnings over $70,000 at 40%. so if you earn $80,000 only $10,000 will be at 40%

Im apauled at how bad pharma companies rake people over the coals

Of course they don’t want to legalize marijuana big pharma will not wanna let it happen

You'd get some quickly in Germany. No one would bat an eyelid.

If you want it, just go over the border and get it. Oregon is a good place to get it.

Try not calling it Marijuana and just call it Cannabis! That would make a big difference in the way they deal with it!

Well ok but then we could just legalize cocaine medically too, you know because it's a much more potent painkiller.

Shame on the pot opposition.

Just grow at home.

The Bible calls it Good Meat !!

please uk leglise it the dope going around is bad

LEGALIZE JA !!!

What the bud tender described about multiple meds is called a "cocktail".

He seems to have some type of cerebral palsey rather than PD. Has this man been correctly diagnosed in the first place. I have a family member with later stage PD and she is completely different presentation to this gentleman??

Marijuana is not a cure but it helps Larry. Hope he is ok.

…and this was $40. Absolutely insane.

What do you mean we don't know what happens in Parkinson's? We know what happens, we don't know the why of it. The cells that produce dopamine die. THC is not a dopamine analogue. It works for symptoms, not the underlying problem.

They didnt even card him :O .. i kid i kid but seriously i firmly believe that weed as differrent effect for everybody.. and beside were not talking about crack here right.. there should be a clear difference.. if i cant smoke my pot to have a nice night listening to music and chilling with some friends doing NO harm but living a bit of joy.. well no one should be able to drink alcohol... and the ultimate worst time i had with weed doesnt come CLOSE to the least worst of my experience with alcohol, now maybe were built differrent, maybe we have differrent way to process it but, ultimately my point is, if alcohol is widely sold and totally legal, then weed should ALTEAST have equal rights, now its only logical that weed still shouldnt be smoked while driving, thats just common sense.. but cmon now its 2021.. we need to move forward, instead of blocking and censoring everything, they should provide ways to educate common folks so they can make their own choices while being well informed, now i'm a bit biased against hard chemical drugs.. to me thats shit nasty, i never tryed it, and i will never touch it, so it might be the best feeling ever but.. the downs seems quite horrible, ill say this, weed, alcohol, coffee , you can be addicted to pretty much anything.. but everything is better with moderation, anyway thats my rant, have a nice day yall

Легализуйте в Украине

I think Larry just needs some really good RSO=Rick Simpson Oil.

My deepest sympathies to those suffering in the wrong states. Our POTUS Biden wants to legalize it but faces the redneck wrath of fear.

Did she just say she spent 40k in there?

I'm 65 days into using various mm strains for insomnia and anxiety in florida and i am totally grateful 🥲 for an alternative to pharmaceutical products that didn't work well for 20 years with me. I have slept well 90 percent of the days since I started flower, tinctures and capsules and I feel better during the days now that I have solid sleep 😴 cannabis meds.😀👏☮️👍

🇫🇮one love🇫🇮👍
