Having epilepsy all my life, I have seen and studied factors from marijuana use for seizures as well as chronic pain. One thing that has remained in my mind is "that if it is used by people over 50 years of age; several studies have indicated that you will more likely face some form of emotional, psychological, or other deterioration through the brain." The reason pointed out was that, with age our bodies slow down in growth factors; per age the brain is also said to become smaller in size. Per ones individual system, "I wouldn't take a chance at using marijuana at above 50 years of age. Look at it another way, if chemo can cause heart and kidney problems 5 or more years after use--is it worth taking a chance? It's a personal decision that should be examined thoroughly.

My body did not respond to it at all, anyway.<br><br>
dawn_ I know very little about stem cells but I still would like to try, of course, not until basic research is done. Genetics I find very interesting and 23andme is involved in a lot of research especially on the medical end of it. When I signed up with them I did so for family history information mostly, but there medical information is very interesting although I have had no direct benefit from it as yet, knowing which diseases I need to worry about and others I don't need to worry about so much does help. They charge one price for all information where medical testing companies that I know of charge for each test and they charge a lot, but I assume their results are more tailor made for that individual question. 19lin
