What am I missing as a non-subscriber?
To see a full dashboard with study details and filtering, go to our DEMO page.
As a subscriber, you will be able to access dashboard insights including chemotype overviews and dosing summaries for medical conditions and organ system and receptor breakdowns for cannabinoid and terpene searches. Study lists present important guidance including dosing and chemotype information with the ability to drill down to the published material. And all outputs are fully filterable, to help find just the information you need. Stay up-to-date with the science of cannabis and the endocannabinoid system with CannaKeys.

Overview - Parkinson's Disease
Description of Parkinson's Disease
Western medicine considers Parkinson's disease a chronic degenerative brain/nervous system disorder. An estimated 50,000 new cases of Parkinson's arise in the U.S. every year. Scientists believe that this degenerative disease results from the loss of specific nerve cells that produce the chemical dopamine (a naturally occurring neurotransmitter). Orthodox medicine does not have a cure and treatment is mostly limited to pharmaceutical interventions (e.g. levodopa).Disease Classification
Condition: Parkinson's DiseaseDisease Family: Neurological Condition
Organ System: Nervous System
ICD-10 Chapter: Diseases of the Nervous System
ICD-10 Code: G20
Parkinson's Disease Symptoms:
Shaking extremities, blank expressions, loss of balance, stiffness, shuffling steps, difficulty swallowing, insomnia, emotional problemsAlso known as:
PD, Parkinsonism, Restrictive lung mechanics due to parkinsons disease, Dementia in parkinsons diseaseDrug Interactions
THC Interaction with Pharmaceutical Drugs
- THC can enhance the effects of drugs that cause sedation and depress the central nervous system, such as benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and alcohol, for example.
- THC is metabolized by and an inhibitor of a number of enzymatic liver pathways referred to as cytochrome P450. There are more than 50 enzymes belonging to this enzyme family, a number of which are responsible for the breakdown of common drugs such as antidepressants (e.g. amitriptyline, doxepine, fluvoxamine), antipsychotics (haloperidol, clozapine, stelazine), beta-blockers (e.g. propranolol), bronchodilators (e.g. theophylline), or bloodthinners (e.g. warfarin). Thus patients taking these classes of medication may find that THC increases the concentration and effects of these drugs as well as the duration of their effects.
- Clinical observation suggests no likely interactions with other pharmaceuticals at a total daily dose of up to 20mg THC.
CBD Interaction with Pharmaceutical Drugs
- CBD may alter action on metabolic enzymes (certain drug-transport mechanisms), and as such may alter interactions with other drugs, some of which may produce therapeutic or adverse effects. For instance, CBD interacts with the enzyme cytochrome P450 3A4 and cytochrome P450 2C19, increasing the bioavailability of anti-epileptic drugs such as clobazam (a benzodiazepine). This makes it possible to achieve the same results at significantly lower dosages, reducing treatment costs and risks of adverse effects.
- Groups of drugs affected include: anti-epileptic drugs, psychiatric drugs, and drugs affecting metabolic enzymes, for example.
- Clinical observations suggest no likely interactions with other pharmaceuticals at a total daily dose of up to 100mg CBD
Dosing Considerations
THC Dosage Considerations
- THC micro dose: 0.1 mg to 0.4 mg (0.001mg/kg to 0.005mg/kg)
- THC low dose: 0.5 mg to 5 mg (0.006mg/kg to 0.06mg/kg)
- THC medium dose: 6 mg to 20 mg (0.08mg/kg to 0.27mg/kg)
- THC high dose: 21 mg to 50+ mg (0.28mg/kg to 0.67mg/kg)
(sample conversion calculated on a person weighing 75kg)
CBD Dosage Considerations
- CBD low dose: 0.4 mg to 19 mg (0.005mg/kg to 0.25mg/kg)
- CBD medium dose: 20 mg to 99 mg (0.26mg/kg to 1.32mg/kg)
- CBD high dose: 100 mg to 800+ mg (1.33mg/kg to 10.7mg/kg)
- (upper limits tested ~1,500mg)
(sample conversion calculated on a person weighing 75kg)
