marijuana or weed as you

marijuana or weed as you posted does help. It calms down the central nervious system which helps the brain keep electrodes from hitting wrong. For the people having a lot of pain the same thing happens.  You might want to look on this site about nedical marijuana because they are trying to get it going thru congress. I hope this helps Joe
