Where's my red hat?

Legalise for medical, decriminlise for recreational...I'm now off my evil epilepsy drugs (x3) and onto medical pot.
I was still having seizures after several years of trial and error with meds, one of which was truly evil. Keppra, code named Kepprage for a very good reason...lets just say anger was my main persona on that one, coupled with extreme weight loss and paranoia...all in just 8 weeks from the first pill. Fast tracking off Keppra is no different than those coming off Heroin, not an experience I ever wish to go through again.
Now for medical pot, I have access to high CBD, low THC oil and plant material...guess what, not one seizure since the day I started taking this form of pot three months ago...compare that to an average of 11 seizures per month on pharma meds. For me this is amazing as every seizure my heart stops beating for up to 30 seconds, with a high risk of cardiac arrest...having that weight lifted from my shoulders because of a natural plant vs pharma meds shows how f@*ked up our health and political systems are...geared towards making massive profits over peoples health.
As for recreational pot, there is little general public understanding of how different types of pot, whether hydroponic or outdoor, organic vs chemical fertalised, time of picking flowers, etc affect the stone of said pot. Is it a heady, hyper alert stone, couch lock or a serious munchy attack strain your looking for? It's all out there but one needs to realise, not all strains are the strain for you. e.g. if you're a naturally paranoid person, the heady high is not for you, better off with couch lock instead. High THC, low CBD causes a high stone level but with little calming affect, whereas a high THC, high CBD will get one stoned and calm simultaneously. As a general rule, once THC surpasses 7%, CBD starts to fall away to near 0% once THC hits 15% unless selectively bred. The strain I use is 25% CBD and less than 1% THC.
Get educated, there is a plethora of peer reviewed studies already completed, and I'm not talking US studies funded by the US fed govt that stipulates funding will only be given for negative outcomes.
Those with a pot problem are generally using it to self medicate a more serious, under lying health issue, those who use it for recreation and relaxation are very unlikely to have any issues with pot itself, ever.
