How old are you and what meds were you put on that made it 100 times worse?
Marijuana has an anticonvulsant in it called cannabidiol which has slightly
sedating effects.
The euphoriant as everybody knows is THC which is a close chemical relative;
the plant makes it from cannabidiol. THC is a moderate analgesic and also
triggers the whole relaxation / weird space and time effects / alteration of
senses / anxiety / disorientation / fatigue / munchies stuff that everybody
is familiar with. It may also have a seizure threshold reduction effect
because of the anxiety thing.
There is much more cannabidiol than there is THC. The cannabidiol doesn't
make people high.
I've never had a seizure while [high] on this stuff. In fact on several
occasions seizures have started and I raced to it fast enough to actually
watch the auras disperse right after inhaling. But it has a short duration
of action. Its half life is something like 4 hours.
I don't know if I can recommend this. First of all its really expensive. And
it has a short duration of action, around 4-6 hours. All the seizures I had
were at times when those 4-6 hours were over. That meant seizures at work,
and seizures in bed at 4 AM. Either the seizures were just being forced to
happen at those times, or there could be a rebound effect. Now, without it,
I'm waiting for enough seizures to tell.
