Medical Marijuana

I noticed marijuana as a seizure treatment is being questioned/observed again and thought this link quoting pros and cons might help.

http://www.medicalmarijuanaprocon.org/

It covers different conditions as well as epilepsy/seizures which I felt would help considering epilepsy can include so many different conditions.

Re: Medical Marijuana (cannabinoids)

Submitted by whynot on Wed, 2010-03-31 - 13:44

My daughter has been having seizures for about 5 years  

She is 19

When she was 6 months she contracted meningitis which crippled a part of her brain

Her seizures started with drop attacks then staring seizures through the gamut to grandmas after about one year of the seizures started

She has several seizures per-day

I have been searching for something to help her

I discovered cannabinoids gust a little while ago

I spoke to her neurologist about cannabinoids and they refused to do any thing for any one regarding marijuana

Sativex is ok here in Canada so why not? go figure because I can’t

So any how doing some research and bumping into the right people I am now manufacturing cannabinoids for her

 

She took her first dose this morning and she toke a shower some thing she has never taken on her own it is 1:41 pm. And no seizures my fingers are crossed.

Marijuana Scientifically Proven To Reduce Stress?

Submitted by AdamWhite121 on Mon, 2010-05-03 - 09:12

When someone is all stressed out and you connect them to a waveform or EEG machine the results show what is called beta waves and this is experienced as worry or fear. When someone is in a state of well being, the machine will show what is called alpha waves. When someone smokes or ingests marijuana, the machine also responds with alpha waves.

Does this mean that marijuana actually puts you onto a good or positive vibration? Some do report laughter as a side effect of ingesting or inhaling marijuana

Now, with this information, should we all not take a little closer look at marijuana and what it can actually do for stress? When someone is stressed or fixated on a subject that they perceive as negative, marijuana allows one to readjust their mindset. In a nutshell pulling you from a bad vibe to a good vibe.

Now with these machines lowering in price as years go on, maybe we will see more of these test popping up and leaving us with physical proof and no doubt that marijuana actually does reduce stress.
