From a post I wrote in the Legalisation of Pot? thread.
Quote: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.
I have had a couple of seizures since writing this however two in six months is better than ten per month whilst still on "normal" meds.
I know the Fulton family who are the subject of this article, my daughter went to school with the two girls older sister. It was actually Bobby-Jo that gave me the source of MM that I needed for my Epilepsy.
http://www.ctvnews.ca/health/australian-girls-in-b-c-for-cannabis-oil-treatment-...Tabetha and Georgia were on whole plant "smoothies" before they left Australia and the benefits were already beginning to show back then. Tabs was back surfing at that stage, something she had been unable to do for several years, and for anybody here that surfs, you will know how much energy that takes.
The Fultons sold everything they owned apart from a suitcase of clothes each to fund this treatment in Canada, to have to come home with nothing and for the girls to go backwards will be a travesty.
