BGS..I have a siezure disorder..extremely close to epilepsy, they just don't call it that, but including Gran Mals and all the other fun stuff. I'm confused by your expectations. With your experience in grwoing, trying the strains you have, your knowledge of this, you still think you can find one that will allow you to completely get off your meds. Is there anyone who has done this sucsessfully or are you going to be the first? What I'm trying to point out that this may not be possible for you..there may not be a strain, because of your body and health issues, that will allow you to drop your medication. I have follwed epilepsy and cannabis here in our forum as well as many other places on the web and find the complexity of this huge. I wish you karma and I really hope you are sucsessful but as a long time patient suffering with these issues I don't think you should set your expectations so high. If I were you I'd keep trying different strains and enjoying every minut of relief I get while doing so. Please don't use this forum for trading or swaping clones, meds, or seeds..if you want to personally meet others please keep those conversations private and not in open forum....thanks, big smiles..

Black Domina is a strain thats working for some people in Colorado, or at least thats what I've heard from their caregivers. I'm currently using it too. With how fast things are advancing its only a matter of time before theres a 50/50 cbd thc strain, or a mixture thats even better for seizures. My expectations are higher than a kite, reason being is my brother and I know someone that is completely off their meds, seizure free, and they just happen to be growing their own medicine.

Now what's wrong with trying to find medical patients to smoke down with? It's 100% legal so whats the big deal? I'd love to hear what the problem is with medical patients getting in contact with each other. let me know DD!

BGS how great that you know someone who has been able to get off the meds. Really this is something I think we all would love to do. Since you know someone your expectations may be acheivable and that, I think, is fantastic. please keep us in the loop as to your treatment and how well it works for you. If you want to get down and smoke with other patients go for it bro..please don't say I had a problem with that, as that is not what I said or meant. I advise you, because of the security risk, to do so in private. I advise anyone reading your posts of the extreme security risk they may place themselves in meeting up to smoke down with you, whom they have never met. I advise patients provide each other documented proof of thier being legal patient before smoking down with each other. Being a med patient has many security risks and issues that patients need to be aware of rather than just smoking down with anyone they meet on the web. Your posts are borderline my friend. I again ask Please don't use this forum for trading or swaping clones, meds, or seeds...we do not allow that. Thanks..respect..DD

Honestly what kind of security risk am i putting myself or others in if we were to meet and smoke at a legal location such as a dispensary with a lounge? I'm sure you can't even get into a dispensary lounge without showing proper paperwork. I wouldn't consider smoking with someone to be trading meds either. I just became a mmj patient so I'm not to familiar with how things work but with the rules you're talking about it seems like there have been problems in the past and I'd really like to know what kind of security risks you're talking about.

I think you most likely are putting yourself at a very low risk while in a legal lounge or legal location... but this is your first mention of such a place and I did not mention it either. The risk would be after leaving the location and it's not rocket science to figure that part out. Internet preditors come in all shapes and sizes and I am only trying to help patients make responsible choices and stay safe. Happy smoking bro..DD

Gotcha, i would have mentioned it earlier if I felt like I needed to. I think it would be pretty safe if we didn't show our paperwork and we didn't know each others addresses, or last names and that could be done by going to a dispensary lounge where we would know everyones legal. But I can see what you're saying, theres always some risk. I'll probably have better luck posting on craigslist and meeting people from the Epilepsy Foundation. I want to grow for other Epilepsy patients as well as myself, not only to provide them with free medicine every month, but to be able to legally grow as many strains as it takes to find a high cbd strain.

BGS wonderful you are so compasionate giving away the meds...that is a great idea providing the meds for others..this would provide you with statistics of how well they did with the medication. It would be nice to keep track for someone like the Epilepsy Foundation and us here at IC. A lot of growers are searching for that "high CBD" strain...and I would think you would find all the latest buzz also here at IC! DD

Cindy99 · 12-01-2009, 01:41 AM

Just cruise through on some nice up pleasant Sat high most times. it when you run dry that hurts most but the post saying your bros poor diet and stressful times are the emotional triggers that hits my bros right off too.

It seems like a lot of caregivers are giving their patients 1oz a month free of charge and also providing them with discounted meds on top of that. I'd like to provide meds only for epilepsy patients and others with seizures, which in the end would help me as well. Is it against IC's policy to post a thread looking for patients? I already have a couple but I'm going to need more as I expand my grow rooms.

DoobieDuck · 12-01-2009, 02:48 PM

BGS our forum guidlines are here. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=280 I do not think it is against the guidlines to post a thread looking for patients. Guideline #7 "Threads or posts pertaining to the 'recreational use' of narcotic substances is not permitted in open forum by members and will be deleted. " We do not know who are or are not patients thus we do know if you are using recreationally. Some posts that may be in a gray area may be deleted. DD
