I know its illegal, But it works and I have my life back
Tue, 04/12/2005 - 13:50I dont condone doing illegal activities but this was my life here.
I have suffered from complex partial seizures for over 10 years. Before I go unconscious I have a 10 second simple partial seizure (aura) . I have smoke marijauna for this purpose as every single time with out fail it has stopped my complex partial seizure from triggering. I never have gone unconscious once if I have marijuana whilst have the simple partial seizure. im sure everyone who has this epilepsy feels restricted in many ways, I have lost friends and cant work. But as soon as I put this technique into practise i got my life back. My neurologist knows everything about it and after months of nagging the austen Hospital in melbourne to research it they finally told me the good news that they had funding for it. It may be available in pill form in the near future. Please reply to me [email protected] if you have had similiar experiences with this highly over looked medical plant . I have now had the surgery and suffer from simple comlex seizures but I can live with the aura feeling. I highly recommend my advice above. Try it at least once. Do it for yourself. Pete

Pete,
I too have complex partials, preceeded by an aura, and don't know how you could get to your solution fast enough to stop the complex partial. Unless you are constantly sitting with small stash beside you. But, if it works for you, then go for it. I do think that one of the previous posters had a good point. I wouldn't know if I'd had a seizure or not (would my foggy-head be due to a seizure or mary jane?)...and, I've smoked it MANY times as a youth!
