  1. I've had epilepsy for 48 years and been using cannabis for 40 years. I have to take Lamictal by law so I can drive. Just one of the side FX is suicidal thoughts/suicidality – actually doing it. How drug companies can get away with is is appalling. The future for epilepsy drugs is CBD cannabis. I'm proud of my advocacy and work helping people with epilepsy with cannabis. I make tinctures and cococann (coconut oil/cannabis) – fantastic footrubs and makes your hair grow back. No wonder its illegal. Not for much longer tho . . .

  2. Reduces seizures 45-50% but "one thing is for sure, much more testing needs to be done." Uhh how about we either get that rapidly going or get CBD oil to these people who need it ASAP.

At one point of this news skit you hear the narrator say "…The medicine does not contain THC ingredient that causes Euphoria (Okay, that's true and fine) anxiety and paranoia". That's not true for Indica strains that mellow out and assist in people with conditions like PTSD or Insomnia. But for Sativa strains it's the opposite and can result in Euphoria, because it acts the opposite of an Indica strain. Yet CBS generalizes that THC is the enemy…
