I wasn’t sure how common they were in their information, however last week, I read an article that said medical marijuana could help with anything… I took this as a blanket statement and made sure I took the article to my mom! My friend and I had been discussing medical marijuana and how several ways it could be used. I told her that several doctors thought of marijuana like the new prednisone, however it was safer, and she didn’t believe me, however now I had the article to back me up. I had her read the article about medical marijuana, however it didn’t sway her one bit. She didn’t believe what she was reading, and told me that anyone could write an article like that! A talented writer could not just pen the article, however make it believable, even if there were no facts to support it. I knew she would never believe that medical marijuana was safe, although I hoped she would at least see that it could help with my seizures. I wasn’t sixteen yet, and I had no right to make my own decisions. The doctor told us that medical marijuana had a lot of substantiation in its value of treating seizures. Dad told the doctor she did not know what she was talking about and told him to up my medication, although she refused! She was distraught about what a stronger dose of the medication I was taking would do to me… Yesterday, I had a seizure that had me in the hospital overnight. This must have scared Dad because she was looking up the effects of medical marijuana on epilepsy.
