Medical Marijuana Helps Epileptic Seizures, Depression, and Anxiety
Posted on 25 October 2011 by smokeandtoke6123
Transcription to follow: Hello, my name is John Heneska and I am a health-related marijuana patient. I am 28 years old and have been a patient for about 12 years. I suffer from epilepsy as well as depression, and anxiousness. I’ve been on a number of pharmaceutical tablets anyplace from depocote to topomax to Dylan tin as properly as numerous medications for my asthma. And for the final number of years I have been a medical marijuana patient, and medical marijuana has assisted me with my epilepsy quite a lot as nicely as my depression compared to the pharmaceutical medications. When I took pharmaceutical medicines, the doctor kept increasing my dosage and switching me to distinct tablets. A lot of the tablets had side effects on me. Anyplace from leading to me to have more seizures to black out, and anyplace from suffering concussions from taking medications. And the health-related marijuana has helped prevent seizures. I have anywhere 1 to 4 seizures a month compared to on a every day basis. Nevertheless, at occasions the medical marijuana does not often help with my epilepsy. And from there you have to try other items that do. Edibles, to a different kind of the medication. But all round it has assisted a lot. I nevertheless have a excellent stomach, I have not had abdomen troubles and my attacks have been much less above the many years. I’ve been hospitalized much less for my seizures. But at occasions like I stated, occasionally it genuinely bothers me and I cannot do also much, and then there is time that I smoke that joint and it actually helps ease the pain.

can medical weed help my social anxiety?
I just got diagnosed with depression and I HATE THE FUCKIN PILLS!!! It makes me feel worse than i already do. LEGALIZE POT
@dayshames Indeed he is, and I have the same problem with pharmaceuticals. Only Cannabis works, and it also helps with other conditions you might have at the same time. Just like pharmaceuticals, Cannabis doesn’t agree with everyone though, nothing does. But it helps me, and many many more with little to no side effects (Not like the chems, which can seriously disrupt your life).
i like the end lol it helps alot and eases the pain …
hahah
so he is saying that marijuana helps prevent him from having seizures and pharmaceutical medications aren’t helping?
@DonFrancooo k
@iwatchsomevideos fuck you it’s an addictive drug so don’t call me a fucking idiot. At the time you don’t see the negative impacts it’s having on you, you just see the positives…. And I didn’t abuse it I didn’t smoke loads all the time just smoked it for a long time you get me??? but anyway fuck youu
@FllthPig that’s why we need marijuana legalized so we don’t have idiots like you abusing it!
People don’t get that cannabis really does help with depression. It really helps you look at life in a more optimistic way. As for anxiety it can help as well if you find the right strain.
@Ctran301 I nearly died from cannabis, I had been smoking it all the time from I was 12 till 17 but it cause me to have 2 seizures, the first one I wasn’t sure if it was cannabis so I kept smokeing but when it happened again I was certain! My heart rate was 198 which aint too gooood, I wouldn’t put a video up trying to promote cannabis use with epilepsy, sure it might help most people but for some it would also cause it. So well not cool mate.
does this guy have any other mental issues?
hell ya bro keep ya head up weeds a great substitute for pills i know cuz i have anxiety
WELL JOHN YOUR NOT BY YOURSELF WE ARE OUT HERE AND I HOPE YOU CAN FIND THE WAY TO CONTROL THE SIZURES. I HAVE THEM TOO IT JUST STARTED LAST YEAR WITH NO EXPLANATION . I HATE THIS SHIT BUT IM OUT HERE PRAYING FOR YOU
I take depakote and the side effects aren’t worth the masking effect. Anti-epileptics do more harm (to the user) than good (mostly to observers).
Marijuana has been the only medication that has ever helped me, and there are no ill effects.
Also, for depression, anxiety and seizures, I’ve found that the most beneficial effects come from fairly small doses.
@copenhagenlct Yes. Don’t smoke it in that case though, wise-ass.
@copenhagenlct Just a heads up. Inhaling any burnt plant particulates over a long period of time will be bad for you but you don’t have to smoke it. You can Vaporize, you can make edibles and they even have under the tongue droplets. Think of this: When have you ever heard of someone dying from marijuana abuse? How many people a year die from prescription drugs or alcohol? Open your mind a bit and educate yourself. BTW, I made cupcakes the other day and they were amazing.
@copenhagenlct // I have epilepsy and brain surgery isn’t always recommended. I’ve had seizure attacks and when I take a few puffs, they go away. I don’t know if you would consider that proof, but it helps me. Please read up before you make more comments.
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself¤¤¤
@copenhagenlct i clearly stated that it cannot give you any type of cancer. i really do think you should atleast try to look some stuff up before making a fool of yourself.
@yomama111336 does it help with lung cancer? lol
wee does not help depression dumbass, it increases it. after the stimulant is done it makes you depressed you all are dumb. “only if you smoke alot like me”
@BlackHAwkdOwn2983 how much do you smoke?
@Turbochargedss If it works for you I’m glad to hear you smoke it.
@republicofsandles watch out for that psychosis my friend. i took accutane for 2 years and then lithium for almost 3
it was the scariest shit ive ever gone through in my brain and at the time i couldnt smoke weed. the chemicals will fuck you up in the end and this whole bullshit thing with cannabis causing psychosis is complete bogus, you wil get the psychosis, just if you smoke weed while your going through it, you feel better, honestly…chemicals are out of me now and i smoke weed everyday
She’s high in this video
I take lexapro and do cannabis.
Lexapro has been a reliable anti-depressant for me,
but I keep cannabis to an irregular habit, in order to avoiding psychosis developing.
Overall cannabis makes it easier for me to get along with people.
@khmbabe What about the hash psychosis? you also get it from marijuana, I can see the 14 year old factor in marijuana “films”. read the side affects of marijuana before you speak. Alittle background research if u will.
@BlackHAwkdOwn2983 Maybe its not for you, but I can say for myself that when I smoke I will feel much less depressed even for a few days afterwards. It’s almost a miracle for me because its cheaper than pills, it’s natural, has barely any harmful side effects, and it’s more effective than pills.
weed can give me extreme depression lately..
Lexapro.. hmm. yeah… Those were the days.. Smoking = yes
@Ahlian65
Poison oak would also be good for you by that logic because it too was created by god.
Its true! its natural, there no health defect, no side effects…. Plus is created by God for a very good reason for treatment.
Anti Depressant is crazy… is man made and it like all sorts of messy side effects. Bad Chemicals!!!
Also you can make cookies, sweets and cooking from this natural herb from the good earth that God made! Amen!!!!
Research has shown low levels of marijuana are good for depression and high levels cause exacerbation to psychosis. Quite a fine line to walk and certainly not one any MD should be recommending.
marijuana is like the light of hope in my endless abyss of darkness I call depression.
the war on drugs is a joke. legalise mj.
@Zimmermania some strains effects the short term memory less . my memory was bad when i used to smoke heavy indica but i tried whitewidow sativa indica mix was better…in the end it all depends on how the weed grown and matured plant food etc….hard to find rite strain when weed grown randomly….this is the big reason it should be legal and be developed rite weed pointing rite problems..
