My sibling has been suffering from epilepsy since the people I was with and I were both toddlers. It was recognizably shocking to me at the time because I couldn’t understand what was happening to him during his seizures as well as why. My parents tried to explain the illness to me, but it was a number of years before it made sense. He was in as well as out of hospitals as well as medical offices for most of our childhood. The medications he was prescribed over the years often made him exhausted, lethargic, as well as unable to focus. At 1 point our parents had him on a prescription stimulant to counteract the sedation from his seizure medication. Barbiturates are often used for drastic cases of epilepsy as well as they are literally tranquilizers, so you can imagine how hard it would be for any child to focus in university or show up at all if they’re taking these medications biweekly. I thank god everyday since our sibling discovered medical marijuana. Now that we’re in university, he was ready to try a bizarre approach to treating his epilepsy. When he started vaporizing cannabis oil out of a pen, his symptoms subsided as well as he was able to avoid getting drastic seizures for most afternoons out of the week. He has knocked back his symptoms as well as pain by at least 71% he says. I am just cheerful to finally see our sibling get much needed relief for his pain. Treating seizures is just 1 example of the plethora of medical uses for marijuana as well as its derivative cannabinoids. He is able to take less prescription medication if he’s consistent with his cannabis use. Thankfully our sibling has a current outlook on life since discovering medical cannabis.
