I’m not proposing it as a litmus test for legislation.

I’m asking people to think about legalizing weed. I’ve never met any adult or child who was better stoned. At least THEY think they are better.

Finally! Someone who references Miranol for medicinal uses.

Here’s my story: I was born with epilepsy. By the age of five or six I was having multiple seizures a week. They put my on a whole slew of drugs, some of which helped reduce the frequency of my seizures significantly, although I have to say that the side effects with sythetic drugs are really, really brutal in terms of mood swings and completely killing your libido.

Fast forward to my 20s, I start using cannabis. Seizures stop entirely. I stop using the sythetic drugs and starting just smoking pot to control my seizures. Where drugs like Depokate were able to get my seizures down to one every couple of months, cannabis cleared them up 100%.

Talked to my neurologist about it, and he said that it’s known that pot prevents seizures, but that it can damage your lungs from the smoke. Compared to the other manmade drugs that damange your liver and your kidneys. I asked him, “well, what if I use a vaporizer so my lungs don’t get hammered?” and he told me to do what works for me.

I’m glad that you said Merinol. I haven’t tried it but I’ve heard about it. Although I’d be willing to see if it worked for me, I’m naturally a little skeptical about using man made synthetic drugs instead of a plant that’s naturally occurring.
