Cannabis has been used for medicinal purpose for thousands of years; however the positive and negative effects of cannabis use in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are mostly unknown.

Cannabis may have positive impacts on mood, memory, fatigue, and obesity status in people with PD and MS.
