MARIJUANA HAS HELPED EASE EPILEPTIC SEIZURES

We definitely need to get marijuana legal in every town in every state
for every kind of handicap that it helps, up to arthritis.

I smoke marijuana myself and I have epilepsy. When I smoke, I will
have one to two seizures that last from two to eight minutes every
month.

Whenever I have stopped smoking marijuana, I always started having two
to three grand mal seizures that last from 15 to 35 minutes every
week. It's bad enough having just minor seizures, let alone having
that many grand mal seizures.

When state officials say they have studied marijuana and it does not
help anyone in any way, they are definitely lying. It is bad enough
getting lied to from people on the streets, let alone from the government.
