I have been using marajuana for my cancer now for about 5 years. I was introduced to me by someone whose mother had terminal lung and brain cancer. Dr told her she may have a couple months to live and she is now in remission. I don’t know the science behind it but it offers many benefits. I don’t smoke I use oil and put it into a capsule. I heard it has been very effective for seizure management. I am in Canada and it’s legal here. I typically get a 3 month supply for around $250. It’s definitely worth a try and you could go to a state and buy it however you may be able to buy it off market quite easily. It’s definitely available. Yes the USA lawmakers seem to be very reluctant in approving it which to me makes no sense. If they legalized it like in Canada there is so much benefit in its medical use. If you want more info just ask I can tell you what I know.

I've had epilepsy since age 11. I'm now 73. Seizures were never under control. My grand mal seizures were nocturnal, some petit mal. Understand, when I was diagnosed with epilepsy, much was unknown and it was not mentioned. There were only a couple of meds used.... for years, docs increasing doses to the point I was walking into walls at times, my personality changed, and much more. I don't remember most of my childhood due to these meds. I've been on several different meds through the years, one worked well, on it for 20 years but developed blood issues. Another med worked for years, increasing dosages. Then, I went went to Mayo and got the testing I needed. After 4 days in Mayo Hospital on the seizure disorder unit, I was diagnosed with NON-EPILEPTIC seizures!!!!!!!!!! Don't know about the past 62 years and all the meds. I've decided not to be concerned about the past, to work with the future and these wonderful docs!
But, I use medical marijuana, my PCP. First, seizures tend to create anxiety. I've dealt with anxiety all my life. CBD is wonderful, relieves anxiety, w/o side effects. So, now I'm off almost all the anxiety related meds! Second, I've had sleep issues. CBD helps me sleep, well. I take melatonin, OTC, at night with CBD.
Also, I have a lot of pain. I'm off ALL pain meds.....take 1 dropper of 1:1 CBD/THC, 250 mg. Tincture.Works. Sometimes, I add 1 extra strength Tylenol and if the pain is really tough, Voltarin cream. That's it, folks.
So, I swear by medical marijuana. It is changing my life. I sleep well, usually through the night, which helps the pain issue, of course, and anxiety.
That's my story. I'm a happier, better balanced person, w/o seizures at all, with controlled pain, off opiods and other strong meds.I've been using for over 60 years.
I was in Mayo hospital recently, and didn't have any CBD or THC, so I did have issues, but only for a few days. Now, much better.
