  1. i just got back from hospital after I had kidney issues because of keppra and briviact. after i stopped my medication, my kreatin dropped to 2 within just 3 days. i was always worried about my skincondition, now its perfect. my epilepsy is uncurable because of tumor, but weed helps alot. I GUESS I CAN STOP ANY USELESS CHEMICAL PHARMACEUTICALS NOW!

  2. My wife was just diagnosed with epilepsy at 36 years old. Mostly tremors and vertigo as the problem, not full fledged seizes. But bad enough tremors and vertigo to have to quit her job. Today she was prescribed a barbiturate drug to treat it and my jaw nearly hit the floor. That’s about the most dangerous medical drug known to man!! Side effects a mile long and very very addictive with horrific withdrawal. Of course Cannibis isn’t a option because it’s illegal in Kentucky!! This nonsense has to stop and that’s coming from a Constitutional conservative like me. Don’t beat up conservative people to much because we largely support medical use of marijuana and believe the drug war is a utter failure. Don’t believe the establishment ruling class who march out political props who oppose legalization. Most of us regular folks fully support legalization!!! Thankfully President Trump has a open mind and has taken zero action against states who have legalized. He also fired the attorney general who was so against it.

  3. I have Epilepsy…..I started using the Oil and Smoking it…….It Dose Help…every case it different, I still have then, but when Im consistent with using the CDB…IT HELPS. BEER KING APPROVED

  4. never let the government stop you from living, get things illegally if you have to, the government can go fuck itself for making people suffer for no reason.

  5. Where can I find a doctor that will take me off my seizure meds and allow me to use cannabis..I live in Ohio and the doctors are discriminating.

  6. It's not surprising that cannabis is effective in treating bipolar mood disorder and other affective mood disorders as well, since the same drugs used to treat epilepsy happen to work for manic depression/bipolar.

  7. Interesting, it definitely needs to be researched and legalized so all patients have a chance to have their seizures reduced or eliminated. The current medications for epilepsy are so often full of negative side effects and we have to suffer a host of them to hopefully have improvement and there are some that no medication will work for them.

  8. I am glad that CBD/THC helps these children with these serious medical problems. Thank God for people who create CBD/TCH oil to provide relief for those families who have kids who need the relief!

  9. I have had epilepsy when I was a child tell now I live in lnvercargill but I am from Hamilton I wish l could live i normal life and I am on medicine for it if I could remember my first seizure l scared borthers and dad. but dad new what to do i still have seizures today and I have l doctor to go to well I have epilepsy

  10. man makes poison… God created cures… man makes pharmaceuticals with side effects…God made plants without side effects… man is fallible…God is perfect in everything He does… marijuana is perfect… it is good.

  11. I been having seizures since I was 14 years old I inherated from my grandfather I had one a few days ago it was the worst one I ever had how can I get this oil ?

  13. Oh my god… Do all you people realize what you are doing. You are terrifying the Federal government… You are terrifying the largest lobby in Washington, the pharmaceutical industry. You are terrifying the DEA and the FDA. Don't you realize the prohibition of cannabis is necessary so our government and their donors continue to get wealthy and control the masses through intimidation and misinformation. They also depend on you the cannabis user to keep their prison-industrial complex moving lucratively along. Now you want to mess it all up for them. ….Well!!??? It's about time. No human has any right to do what they have done. Deny the sick their treatment or cure. Criminalizing millions of Americans… For what?? Their money and power… That's all. America is waking up in more ways than one and that's a good thing.

  14. will they ever make it so people that suffer with seizure's can travel or is that jus a wishful thinkin I suffer an I'd live in tha woods if I didn't hav seizure's it hurts my whole body for afew weeks but I also hate all tha suffering my friends an family hav from jus watching me have seizure's an I'm jus embarrassed at tha way people look at me I hav tha grand ma seizure's but with everything I hav to go threw I hate to c little kid's hav tha same pain or worst an i hope people don't suffer for there whole life forever we need help in Virginia

  15. I take fits 3-4 year epileptic I stopped smoking solid black soapbar. 5 years ago I have had 1 fit in that time the last 5 year been smoking bud it's a wonder drug. We have been lied to for years

  16. Most of the seizures I have are absence seizures. I feel like I have absence seizures everyday but they happen so fast I'm really not sure.. i used to have grand mal seizures a lot since I was 16 but now I'm 21 and am down to maybe 2 a month. But the lamictal I'm on is strong and makes me tired. I've been smoking weed for a while but it seems to give me more absence seizures. But for some reason I don't think I've had one grand mal seizure while I was high it's really weird.

  17. It is always nice to learn about new alternatives to epilepsy medication. I have been successfully using the Buteyko breathing techniques and share those on my youtube channel.

  18. Seizure free 1yr 11mos 18days…. 42 day count down to 2 years seizure free… less severe side effects because of 1000mg decrease in keppra daily & no more lamictal. Less emotional outburst & higher cognition, especially when studying. Simply put, as an epileptic patient that currently uses medicinal marijuana, & that lost a job with DSNY because of my last seizure 12/01/14, MEDICAL MARIJUANA WORKS!!! IT GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK!! MY OLD NEUROLOGIST IS MAD BECAUSE I WON'T DEAL WITH HER ANYMORE!!! SHE NOW GETS THE VOICE MAIL THAT I GOT WHEN I USE 2 CALL HER!!!! ;-} #NEW_DR_NEW_APPROACH!!! I used to smoke pot in the 80's & 90's & never had seizures, never diagnosed as an epileptic until 2008 six yrs after I stopped. My brother never smoked pot, was born with severe seizures that he grew out of while I smoked pot in his presence in the 80's-90's. My mom had absent seizures that although she beat my ass for smoking pot seemed to stop the absent seizures in her and relaxed her. Wow, how much science really still has yet to learn….

  19. hey I have had epilepsy since I was in the 5th grade, I am currently 36 yrs old and around 5 yrs ago I had a son! At the time I was on Deposits 500 mg, 2 times a day plus 300 mg of Dilantin once a day! about 3 months into my pregnancy I was taken off the Repairs and put on Kepra 750mg 2 tablets twice a day! during pregnancy very little seizure activity except for one at hospital before c-section. Then after the first few months of breast feeding semester my seizure activity picked up a lot had at least one every month! Before all this used to maybe 1 a year! they kept me on iron for my anemia & also on calcium 2 times a day! I admit that I am a current user of marijuana and have been since at least high school, & also have been using off and on methamphetamine never injecting it just smoking & snorting it! I don't know if cannabis will ever work with me cause of my experience already, plus a lot of the time when I get to the point of way stoned I sometimes like I do before I have a seizure! Anyone have any suggestions for me???? HELP!!!!!

  20. Thanks for this. I toyed with the idea of medical marijuana for years. I've been on meds for seven years, having temporal lobe epilepsy and suffering from tonic-clonics and smaller seizures, and I'm not free. While I've been told I should be having surgery this year (I won't get my hopes up since they keep delaying it), in the meantime I'll probably give CBD a try. Hearing about freak-outs people have had when smoking pot put me off the idea, especially since a panic attack can be fatal for me. So this sounds like the solution.
