I've been diagnosed with:
Ice Pick Headaches
Chronic Migraine
I've had little to no success with pharmaceutical medication. I've even had severe reactions where I went in and out of consciousness for hours.
Marijuana in Canada
is legal medication. Just like prescription medication, you have to be sick and have a doctor recommend that it's the correct medication to treat your illness.
So I'm in the process of obtaining my license to possess because for me smoking marijuana is the only medication I've found that stops my pain 95% of the time.
For me the side effects are:
dry mouth
dry eyes
increased phlegm
increased appetite
relaxation
a euphoric feeling which I can only describe as similar to laying on the beach after a good swim in the ocean, that slight swirling feeling in your head and body you get.
All in all not too bad side effects which only last for 1-2 hours and lets me live a normal life.
