drugs questions (mushrooms)
Thu, 05/19/2005 - 22:59Its seems as though no one has started a disscussion on th positive and negative effects of marajuana(If any). As well as the bodys reaction to other drugs(mushrooms). Not to exclude anyone but if you have teperal lobe damage your info would be much apprieciated. In my own personal expereance I can say without a shodow of doubt that marajuana kept me seizure free for 3 years, however I Did have a seizure when I abrubtly quit after 3 years of daily or near daily usage. Now analyzing this info is simple enough, If you stop taking your seizure medication you will have one. Now this is where many conclusions can be drawn, and differences in individual resonses to drugs can be seen. Please feel free to post your info. If anyone has experiance with epilepsy and mushrooms please post your info good or bad and it will be recieved with gratitude.
PS keep this disscussion as professional as possible

I've been smoking marijuana since 1970, and it has proven to be number one for blocking seizure disorder. During the late sixties, and early seventies, children with epilepsy were being prostituted fro psychosurgical research, just after the US Dept of Justice put out six billion dollars towards psychosurgical research, in 1968.
I'm one of those psychosurgical research subjects, left with increase and variation in seizure disorder (5-80 a day) status epilepticus, and cerebral
hemmorrahaging in the operative field. Despite high dosages of Dilantin, Mysoline, Tegretol, Valuim, Librium, Valproic acid, I till suffered seizure disorder.
I recall one day of taking 1750 miligram of Dilantin, Mysoline, and Tegretol, only to suffer status epilepticus. My brother came over with some marijuana bud, smoked a joint, and experienced instant relief from seizures, and prodrome of seizure.
Since Judge Patrick Sheppard's Dec. 10,1997 decision striking down our marijuana laws as unconstitutional, I have suffered only one seizure.
This is quite significant, when compare to 5-80 seizures a day,prior to his decision. There is lack of good faith, when our medical profession condemns marijauna based upon synthetic cannabinoids such as THC delta 9, without
giving marijuana's anti-convulsant property Cannabidiol (CBD) any consideration for therapeutic relief. CBD is well recognized as being 90% effective for temporal lobe epilepsy. (Karler and Carlini, University of Utah, College of Medicine)
Presently in Canada, we have Cannasat lawyers trying to corner the market on marijuana, by interfering upon my application before the Ontario courts for declaration of no force nor effect, of marijuana prohibition under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) Cannasat lawyer Alan Young, so called marijuana champion, tells the court, he does not want to see Parker and Turmel,
proceed to invalidate the law. It is most indignant, that the Pharm Industry is interfering with the legalization of marijauna, while 2400-4600 people die each and every year, in Canada due to status epilepticus. Hopefully, my concerns
that the Canadian government has not complied with the Parker decision, will be appreciated by the Supreme Court of Canada.
The Parker decision was July 31, 2000, whereas Catzman, Rosenberg and Charron, declared our marijuana laws unconstitutional. Since then, the government has not appealed, and parliment has not re-enacted any laws against marijuana. The crown, trying to use the Hitzig case as to resurrect
marijuana prohibition is ludicrous, when taking into consideration that ONLY
parliment can legislate criminal code statue, and NOT the courts, as in Hitzig.
We have been successful in having marijauna charges withdrawn from court,
when presenting application to dismiss forms, upon Parker and Krieger.
To obtain application to dismiss forms, and other successful cases, check out
www.cyberclass.net/turmel/timeline.htm and fillout the blanks.
It's been five years, and still no recoginition of a herb that is truly effective for curing epilepsy. Hopefully the Supreme Court of Canada, will provide the declaration of no force nor effect of marijuana prohibition under the CDSA, if we are to lower the status epilepticus fatality rate.
A joint in front of me,
Is better than a unauthorized lobotomy,

Oh, yeah, I'm so much better now that I've been alcohol-free for nearly four years.
