Drug use
Thu, 05/19/2005 - 08:29Its seems as though no one has started a disscussion on th positive and negative effects of marajuana(If any). As well as the bodys reaction to other drugs(mushrooms). Not to exclude anyone but if you have teperal lobe damage your info would be much apprieciated. In my own personal expereance I can say without a shodow of doubt that marajuana kept me seizure free for 3 years, however I Did have a seizure when I abrubtly quit after 3 years of daily or near daily usage. Now analyzing this info is simple enough, If you stop taking your seizure medication you will have one. Now this is where many conclusions can be drawn, and differences in individual resonses to drugs can be seen. Please feel free to post your info. If anyone has experiance with epilepsy and mushrooms please post your info good or bad and it will be recieved with gratitude.
PS keep this disscussion as professional as possible

I can see how using marijuana could have great effects on the epilepsy, but I would stick with only doing it as little as possible. Don't use it to medicate yourself but as a tool to help yourself stay straight. I would never want to be on meds for the rest of my life and I am also looking at other forms of healing for me.

LSD - What if when our parents - parents took LSD in the 60 + 70 have had a knock on effect over the last couple of decades, leading to more as I can see it an uncurable natural phenomenom now called all different types of seizures, but actually the after effects of LSD, I am a father and my daughter is 16 and has seizures and have just put her on medication.....as I'm sure that more and more people have tried LSD due to it's availability and the talk of an awesome trip or weird trip that has made the new generations prone to seizures.....sounds like one hell of a business plan.......more and more medication without a proper cure.....mmmm....could be onto something here......what if it did contribute and all that is needed is a antidode...
