The major purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of CBD on motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (PD), and secondarily to study the safety and tolerability of CBD and other efficacy, particularly regarding tremor in PD. The study has been powered to detect a clinically significant reduction in Movement Disorder Society (MDS) Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III motor scores. This is a 1:1 parallel, double-blind, randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 60 participants. The investigators will be recruiting up to 75 participants; the goal is to have 60 participants (30 in CBD group and 30 in placebo group) complete the study. The study drug is obtained from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
