I have epilepsy for 13 years and last year got leukemia . Was having seizures every month to 3 months. No matter what I tried. Until I got marijuana and depakote was all seizures stopped. It does take both for me. No maker which one I stop I get seizures . No I also have leukemia and the blood levels getting better.
This all from a no helmet motorcycle acct that someone got me on.

I'm all for it and it would be cheaper than the money I have to fork out monthly for all the shit I have to take, and also they don't tell you the long term side effects of all the meds until it's probably going to be too late
