220. Cannabis is a prescription medication for certain brain issues

outside of the U.S. In the U.S., doctors can only "recommend" not prescribe. But it is prescribed for spasticity due to MS in 10 nations, and also for C.P. You can find videos on youtube from American adults who show their "before" and "after" functioning with marijuana.

One mother moved to California to use marijuana for her C.P. because, in the state where she lived, she could've lost custody of her children for doing something that's legally recommended in another.

A lot of adults have done videos that talk about their use of marijuana for epilepsy, too. A small amount of cannabutter in the evening before bed is how one woman talks about controlling her seizures.

If someone is having a seizure, someone else can blow marijuana smoke into that person's mouth or nostrils to try to interrupt a seizure. I know that sounds iffy, but marijuana, at least good marijuana, takes seconds to take effect when inhaled.

I have migraines and, when I start to get into a series of migraines... cannabis stops the nausea and vomiting that are always part of a migraine episode, for me. One doctor calls migraines "electrical storms in your head." That's also a definition of epilepsy - tho the two are different experiences, as far as seizure vs. unrelenting, longterm pain.

But I don't live in a legal state, so I have to forgo cannabis as a legally recommended herb to help deal with unrelenting pain.

...because some in our govt. are stuck in the 1960s and think they are still fighting hippies.
