When your child is having 2 seizures per hour & doctors can't help, then you don't much care whether there have been medical studies on marijuana, nor do you care whether it is purified & government approved, if it stops the seizures.

If you were having 2 seizures per hour, would you rather be stoned or flopping uncontrollably on the floor/bed? If powerful opiates OR marijuana were needed to control your seizures, which would you use?

Seizures can kill you, marijuana cannot. Government approved drugs regularly kill & injure people. These drugs come with a list of possible adverse reactions & side effects. Lawyers are making a mint on government approved drugs that harm people. There has never been a recorded death or permanent injury from marijuana. The amount estimated to cause death is so large as to be impossible to ingest. A quart of government approved alcohol will kill most people.

There is NOTHING safe on this planet. If you drink too much WATER you will die. Same for everything else. If you wait for the government to tell you what is safe you may die, or live a life of pain & misery, waiting.

This is the same government that says CO2 is a pollutant, government spending will turn the economy around, & a dry ditch is a wetlands.

God bless these parents for ignoring the corrupt nanny state & perhaps saving their children's lives. See Genesis 1:29.

Good reply. I say, anything that reduces my pain is good. I use the herb rather than getting shithoused. Works for me.

There are a lot of people making claims about so-called miracle cures, without evidence to back up the claims. I would not give something to my child based on hear-say.

Marijuana is a complex mixture, known to contain carcinogens and other physiologically damaging chemicals. *If* there is a true anti-seizure activity of cannibidiol, then purifying it will remove the carcinogens, psychoactive substances, brain-damaging chemicals, etc. Purifying it also allows for precise dosing, which is necessary to control the symptoms without overdosing, which can cause all kinds of toxic effects.

If I were having seizures, I would take the drug that has been extensively tested in thousands of people for safety and efficacy, not some street drug whose main "proof" of an effect is the sheer number of old wives' tales told about it.

These drugs come with a list of possible adverse reactions & side effects.

The lists of possible adverse reactions and side effects are just about identical for all drugs. What those lists don't tell you is how many people actually have side effects--which is pretty low.

Marijuana contains high levels of carcinogens, more than tobacco does. It can precipitate psychotic disorder in developing brains (meaning in the brain of anyone under the age of 25). It causes users to lose their initiative, perhaps permanently. It causes brain damage in children, years after the parent last used marijuana. It is not safe.
