My daughter, who was of legal age, went to a psychiatrist for depression and made the decision to take the medication prescribed in spite of its potential side effects. She ended up with a psychogenic seizure disorder. Unlike epilepsy, it cannot be controlled by medication. Praise God that Florida passed a law last year legalizing medical marijuana. It has greatly reduced her anxiety (one of the triggers for her seizures) and therefore the frequency of her episodes of convulsions has been greatly reduced as well --- and without any harmful side effects!

The rich and powerful pharmaceutical industry, which has the FDA in their pockets, does not want marijuana legalized. The legalized drug pushers have no conscience selling cures that sometimes have side-effects worse than the original medical problem.
