Abstract

We made an observational cross-sectional study to evaluate the prevalence of cannabis use, characteristics and results perceived by a group of PD patients. Semi-structured questionnaire was applied to patients. Until obtaining more information we suggest to incorporate into regular medical practice the question about the use of cannabis.
