Medical Cannabis Testimonies: Dixie of North Carolina

I met Dixie while staying in North Carolina, following Journey for Justice 7. Dixie suffers from a debilitating congenital condition called Hemiplegic Migraines. Cannabis is the only medicine that relieves her symptoms & allows her to live a normal life.

hi 2day was my first time taking marijuana when migraine is active and my pain reduced from a 100% to a 65% i got to say this is alot better then any other meds i have taken i felt like the pain does not go away but ur body stays stable i didnt even throw up today and that had never happened my wife was with me and she took time i got pain every 10 minutes and lasted like 4 minutes then went back to normal i think that if u felt this pain u would agree to pass the marijuana for meds law

@c0nzer, thank you for your post. Cannabis is a natural vascular dilator. That is why it is so effective for treating most migraine and seizure patients. mark-cpn

I am now on topamax and just smelling cannabixs throws me into a para attack and i don't recommend it. but we are all different. I dont' get any pain with my attacks.

@Yahwehlovesme, So many variables, particularly when patients are treating themselves only occasionally and also with "street" grade cannabis. I have never spoken to anyone who suffers from migraines or seizures who has not benefited from medical grade cannabis treatment. For me, I no longer have migraines or seizures as long as I have a steady supply of cannabis. mark-cpn

@Chanfan2, that is further proof that we're super lucky if we can find a medicine that even works for 40% of the population. Which I think we'd see with cannabis.

I also suffer from hemiplegic migraine disease. I am 36. I have found that marijuana triggers my attacks. Unfortunately. I have to avoid stress and am not able to work but am taking sandomigran, which works well for me. Thank you for posting this. All the best.

Hello. I also have hemiplegic migraine disease. I am 36. I am taking sandomigran and it is keeping the attacks at bay unless I get really stressed. I cannot work for this reason. I have found that marijuana actually triggers my attacks. But we are all different. Thanks for posting this. All the best.
