Hi Brainstemmed,

I hope you don't mind me posting here I'm usually on the Epilepsy forum. Medical Marijuana has been proven to help people who have neurology or other problems like cancer. My Dr. wants to put me on m.m. to stop my seizures but I still have to wait for the state to okay it.
This past summer they had a special on CNN with Dr. Sanjay Gupta showing how medical marijuana reduced seizures in a little girl who was having 300 seizures a week.
The THC level is low and that's the part that's used for a person to get high while the CBD level is high and that is the part of the marijuana that helps people who have neurology and other medical problems. Check out the Stanley brothers who live in Colorado they grow medical marijuana for people who need it. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

I actually have a vape pen that contains 35% CBD. The last couple of times it gave me a headache, but sometime soon, I'll try it again.
