I love you!

poiuyt, Love you too, hon! Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you find it useful. Spread it around to whoever needs it.

I see that you are Canadian. Have you ever been over to treatingyourself.com ? I have this posted there too. TY is a Canadian medical site, and as such, might be more acceptable if you decide to gift a doctor with it, or point a straight relative towards. - Granny:hippy:

Hi Granny, thanks for inviting me! Happy growing!

Granny you have no idea how thankful I am that you posted this.
My mom has suffered from severe Headaches/Migraine her entire life and has gone through numerous useless treatments for it. Last week she woke up with a migraine so bad that she wanted to kill herself and I had to call an ambulance to rush her to the hospital. Needless to say, that was the last straw and its about time she became educated.

Give your mom this from me-

Hi hon, I'm Granny- I'm 60 years old and am employed in Special Education. I've used cannabis medically and for pleasure for 40 years. You could pass me on the street and you'd never think "She uses pot." Besides my job, I quilt, sculpt, paint and keep up a lively "cyberlife". The second time around in college (in my mid50s), I wrote most of my papers high and graduated with honors. I have never been arrested. I am well liked and respected and that's enough about me.

I can really sympathize with you about the migraine. I get migraines and recurrent waves of pain through my head. And it always feels like there is a hand inside my skull pressing down on my right eyeball at a 45 degree angle. I can't really remember life before the migraines. This is the result of almost being murdered as a very young child- another child took a hammer to my head in a fit of rage. I survived, but with migraines.

When I was 19, I started getting high like many American kids in the 60s and 70s. For me, there was one major difference. The migraines stopped when I had cannabis. I don't know if it will work this way for you or not. But as long as I have a daily smoke or vape, I don't get migraines or the waves (just "normal" headaches caused by stress or too much sun- we both know the difference between them and a migraine!) My migraines are due to a head trauma, so it might just be a fluke that it stops them. However, considering all the studies done on migraines being prevented or even stopped by cannabis, it would seem logical to give it a fair trial!

No one has ever died from using cannabis. The main dangers are getting arrested (which is avoidable for the most part by using only at home), and lung irritation. Both of these problems can also be addressed by the use of a vaporizer. Your child can explain its use to you. The odor of burning cannabis is very distinctive and can lead to arrest- vaporizers eliminate most of the odor, making it far easier to hide the smell.

Your child has likely shown you some studies from my "Birthday post". I want you to look at the whole thing. Cannabis is a wonder herb! Alzheimer's, ALS, Parkinson's, stroke, MS, fibromyalgia and even cancer can be treated with cannabis. If it were any other herb, it would be being hailed as a panacea, because it is one!

Hon, try a joint or pipeful. If it works- HURRAH! If it doesn't, you are no worse off than you were yesterday. It's worth a try, the doctor's remedies aren't working- maybe cannabis will work for you as well as it has for me. I hope so, no one should ever have migraines! It has been more than 3 years since my last one. - Granny:hippy:

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFO.I'm suprised Crohns disease isn't there...Marijuana saved my intestines.Reason I will be moving to Cali :jointsmile:

[prairieplantsystems]

I just don't really think a lot of this information is from "unbiased" sources. Sorry to break your bubble, but I don't honestly think it has this many beneficial effects. People saying cannabis will "save the human race" have a serious problem, unbiased studies thats are performed correctly are quite rare. Fuel?, Medicine?, building materials?!? seriously, it can replace certain minimal requirements in every one of these fields, but it will not "save" the human race.

[Storm Crow]

Prairie, we are all allowed our opinions! You have yours. I have mine.

All I know is that I don't get the migraines that have plagued me since early childhood, as long as I use cannabis. My first "California legal" harvest was about 3 years ago. I have not had a single migraine in those 3 years. I quit cannabis for almost 3 years before I "got legal", because of my job. I wanted to see if I could survive without cannabis. It was 3 years of hell. It hurt so bad that my doctor finally had my head scanned for tumors or other abnormalities. Nothing. Got a baggie. Migraines stopped. I got my medical records and ""got legal". No more migraines since then. For me, that is the simple truth. You can have your own opinion about it, but for me, the difference in the quality of my life is quite clear.

Knickerbka- MY BAD! So to make up for it, you get a "sneak peek" at part of my update which I plan to let loose around New Year's! (I have over 100 new studies on various subjects)

I have this all in word on my computer. It would be really cool if some of you copy my post into word and then add the new stuff in as I do my updates and add your own discoveries! More is good! :thumbsup: I really want this knowledge to spread.

And thumbing through my paper copy, I'm noting just WHERE most of these studies originally came from- if PubMed, Nature, University of Israel, Sutter Health, Neuroendrocrinology Letters, and Medscape aren't good enough sources, then I don't know what are good sources!
