Medical Marijuana

I was recently approved for medical marijuana. Does anyone have any experience with this and if so, what strain, dosage and method of consumption has been successful?

I just smoke it and it works great better than any big pharm pills, a few hits every couple hours and I can get my days work done without problems.

In Illinois, we can't get all the strains available on the west coast like Charlotte's Web. I tried Pre98 Bubba Kush (I) which gave me headaches. Obviously I continued use of it. I also tried Harlequin and Maui Wowee. I liked the Maui Wowee... had 50% less seizures. Just went to the dispensary yesterday and got five more strains to try. This week, I am trying Super Lemon Haze. So far, I like it, but will let you know next week.

Also, for those looking for info on strains, I have found Leafly to be very helpful. They have an app for android and apple too.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member yes, I'm still taking my antiepileptic meds too. Unfortunately, I've become resistant to the marijuana too. I'm going to Loyola next week for a video eeg.
