Exodus1, checking in on you!
I presume you have not experimented in the past, guessing here, due to religion. I did the same thing. Now, reformed First South. Bapt. Doesn't get much worse. Even taught Sunday School. College changed me and the way I think! Life does it over time, as well. We grow up and find a belief system that works for us. And this is not a thread on Church, so we won't go there.

When you medicate, you need to wait untill you 'feel' something between taking the medication in. Others and myself medicate in that fashion. For the effect we desire. It is nice to do it with a pal. And experienced toker will let you know about 'when' he/she feel it. You will have to find it for yourself. You may or may not feels anything the first time. I know people that do not. People that do not smoke tobacco have a bit of difficulty. And if the medication is not 'smooth' you may feel irritation. Start slow and low with paced doses. Vapes are my preference. And I do not smoke tobacco. It is not a prerequisite. And hope you don't have to deal with that issue anyway.

Due to your seizure disorder and your complaints of the medication, you may be on a high dose and may never be able to quit it completely. I do believe a Canadian is helping you now. Hopefully, things will work out for you. You should be able to talk to your Dr.. Since, it is legal there and Gov't medical system, I do hope it all works out for you! You take care of yourself and continue to read. If you don't like the Dr. you may need to change a few times. You are observant and cautious. Feel your way with your own sense's thorugh this. Be sure to read Granny Storm Crow's list. It is pretty important. If you need, I will find and bump for you. :rasta: It shouldn't be too far, bumped it recently.

Will be curious what you learn about the medical care there and hope you pass on the help to other Canadians.:rasta: My favorite guerilla grower of mmj is up there somewhere! I miss him or her! :jointsmiler
