CBD any experiences
Hi. I have TLE Epilepsy and use medical cannabis, under authorization of my Neurologists, here in the states. It has helped, when used with my daily medication. A combination of meds has helped with some patients with refractory epilepsy. I know medical cannabis can now be prescribed by specialist doctors in the UK, so you may want to ask your neurologist regarding it. Growing your own is cheaper but remember, the blend of cannabis, and quality, counts. With me, Sativa can bring on seizures while the right blend of Indica is perfect. To walk into a dispensary and purchase a blend, known to help, is a godsend.
Out out of Curiosity, I looked up dispensaries in the UK. I see you have Curaleaf in Sunderland, England. That's where I buy mine from, a Curaleaf down the street from me π
Let me know how things go, wish you the best.
That's really helpful thank you! Has it stopped or limited your seizures? Have an appointment next month with neurology so will chat it through π
You're welcome π
It has limited them. Great! Hope all go's well with your appointment and you get authorized for use of medical marijuana. If you haven't smoked it yet you get the fastest reaction from vape or flower, but they do have it in edibles as well. I got my Florida medical marijuana card in 2001, been very helpful. Works fast and there when needed..always a vape near me. Thumbs up for you π π
