I was speaking to my attorney and he was asking how my seizures were. I told
him I was doing great and I couldn't sleep. I laughed and told him I was
going to start drinking a couple cocktails before bedtime or smoke a joint
either one to help me sleep. He said to stick with the alcohol. I mentioned
to him about the testing of Marijuana for use in Epilepsy patients and he
said that the Federal government has stopped the use of all pot for
medicinal purposes. They have taken the stance that it is illegal and if a
doctor recommends it then the DR is just as guilty and will be charged as
the patient that thinks it is ok to be in possession of it. He said there
are no circumstances in the USA where pot is allowed for medical use. He did
say it was used for Glaucoma at one point in time but the feds put a stop to
that as well. Possession is possession no matter what you have it for.
Just some food for thought....

The fact of the matter is that it's always been available "on the street",
illegal or otherwise. If somebody wants it, there isn't much trouble finding it.
I've known many people who easily had their own stash. It does nothing for me,
so I don't have any myself although I've always had a toke or more when a joint
was being passed around at a party and smoked a joint with friends just to be
friendly.
This government of ours has always been unbelievably anal-retentive. I can
recall having phenobarbital prescribed to me many many years ago and it was
helping me more than anything had before. Then there was a change of doctors and
the new doctor refused to renew my prescription. Why? He was virtually foaming
at the mouth when he responded and it was all the government line about drug
abuse and barbiturates.

LOL that is an under statement. Our government is so uptight about all this
that it is going on right under their own nose and they don't even know it.
Hell most of them are probably to drunk to realize it is happening. What I
was saying was coming from an attorneys point of view. I agree with you if
you want some pot it is readily available to anyone with a few $$$. What I
think is really f**ked up is a person can get a script for Oxycontin a much
more serious drug at most any DR these days and it is legal, take it to the
pharmacy get it filled and then sell the pills for about $60.00 to $75.00
each. Selling them is illegal but possessing them is not. But let a guy that
is smoking a joint to help stop a seizure and he gets busted because just
being in possession of it is illegal. Now that is f**ked up.....
