Revanche21 Reviewed by Revanche21 on 07-02-2008. If you smoke for medicinal reasons, why? I myself am a daily smoker, it helps tremendously from my back pain from having herniated a disc in my lower back. The injury left me very inflexible and my hamstrings are too short, which causes horrible back and knee trouble (I'm doing some physical therapy for the problem) but I find smoking weed helps immensely with the back pain. Along with physical pain I have multiple perception disorder, in which my actual perception totally changes, I'm the same person, but everything is different Rating: 5

It became a everday thing just like eating food or taking a shower, progressed to mass consumptions, now when I stop using old pains I havnt felt in months or days come back

[epilepticme]

Where to begin:
I have epilepsy (grand-mal seizures) brought to the surface by a traumatic brain injury about 15 years ago. I also suffer from anxiety/insomnia (PTSD) and diabetes (type 2).
Cannabis helps me deal with all of those things and more.

My seizures are more of just an aura when using cannabis instead of the all out hippie hippie shake that I go through when not using.

If I can not sleep or get a bit nervous a couple tokes and I can feel the calm again.

I do not know what I would do with out cannabis!
