    Frequent cannabis use associated with more serious epilepsy,
    study finds

    . . .

    First off, TIRED of these "studies" - shop around
    a bit and you can "scientifically prove" ANYTHING
    you want. Every "study" contradicts the others.

    Also, as a 60s/70s guy, we FREQUENTLY smoked reefer.
    Not aware of ANY of my old buds having epilepsy.

    Of course the weed was MUCH weaker then, admittedly.

    Sometime soon I realized THC and I did NOT get along
    at all ... a number of bad effects. Of course that's
    just ME - others have different experiences, it's
    all genetic. Do note that when I quit it, six
    months after, was able to breeze through college
    courses - hyper-good memory.

    Well I am 89 yoa and have smoked since I was 40 yoa then switched to edibles some years back. I have been using THC infused gummys at least
    10 mg each evening for many years to get myself in
    the mood for sleep. I am bipolar all my life and when the hypo-mania is keeping me up I take an extra 5 mg of the Indica derived THC. I do
    have leg cramps occasionally but so far no seizures.

    I call up a younger fellow on a regular basis to remind him
    of various matters and he had a bad memory long before he started
    using cannabis to soothe his various pains having been in a
    accident leading to a coma in his childhood for some days and
    left with a hole in his skull.

    With statistics lots of mistakes are easily made.
    Lots of lies are easily told.

    Then you probably won't - unless you trip and
    fall on your head.

    Leg cramps - add about 250-500mg of magnesium
    every few days.

    They should have plugged the hole with something.
    Pick just the right stuff and could pick up AM
    radio broadcasts :-)

    Of course it'd probably be a fire-n-brimstone
    Xian radio station .......

    MUCH more 'pliable' ...

    "Lies, damned lies, and statistics ..." (also Twain)

    Anyway, effects of THCs *varies* between individuals.
    A few seem "better", more seem "worse" and the bulk,
    well, you can't really tell any difference. Anyway,
    I'm gonna stay away from it. Makes me a 'tard.
