## Resource

On today's Movers & Shakers, we're putting down our pints and rolling a joint talking about how cannabis could be an important part of Parkinson's treatment. Subject to stigma over its use, have we been ignoring the therapeutic qualities of the plant? To discuss this, we talk to Professor Mike Barnes, a world expert in medical cannabis, and hear from many of our listeners who have dabbled with the various strains. With uses for everything from pain to sleep, this is an in-depth look at a much-maligned treatment option. Sponsored by Albion Chambers . Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman. Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot. Sound mixing by Ewan Cameron. Music by Alex Stobbs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
