I had seizures as an adolescent, my Mom tried to use the opportunity with the Neurologist, to give me crap for smoking pot, I about fell over when he said, “She should continue to do it” because of something he was looking at that involved lessened activity in Cannabis users.
That was waaay back in 1978, Mom never bugged me about it again.
More recently, I had a Car accident 12 Years ago, in 2002. When I was released from Hospital, I was taking 15 Pills a day. Unable to function, My kids lost their Mom & my Husband lost his Wife, this went on for 4 years. I started smoking Cannabis again, and got off nearly all the Pharmaceutical, I take only 2 meds a day, which will be life long, and use my Pot.
8 Years ago, they found a lump in my breast, it was Cancer, they operated, and wanted to do Chemo. I had the surgery, but refused the Chemo, My mom Died from breast Cancer at the age of 50, I was 42. Having regular check up’s everything looked ok until last year, another Lump. This time, no Surgery, No Chemo. I am currently using Cannabis oil Orally and as a Topical in the area of the Lump.
Without Cannabis, I would be back on all those Prescription Pain Killers and Sleep Meds, not a world I want to go back too.
I believe my Cannabis use kept the Cancer at bay all these years. The amount I was smoking just wasn’t enough to keep the Cancer away fully, now that I am on the oil, I have faith it will Cure Me.
