So, a piece of awesome, super duper news, yesterday I completed the process of registering with my state to possess oil. I know that my state's oil-only law is lame and too restrictive, but at least we are taking baby steps.
I had my appointment with my neurologist yesterday. I spoke to him a year ago about cannabis, and he is of the need-more-research mindset. However, he said that he wished there was more research being done and believed there to be no problems with allowing people to use natural remedies, but he, as a doctor, was unwilling to recommend it. But, since the new law was passed this August, he is allowed to say it's okay if a patient wants to try it. The wording of "a doctor to allow" vs "a doctor recommend" was changed in the bill. He cut me off mid question, and said he would write the letter for me. The university hospital he works for is heavily involved in brain tumor (which I have) research, and has since become well versed in the law. Another interesting thing he said was about current trails being done at another University Hospital just down the road. They are using GW's Epidiolex, and he wished that the whole plant could be used because he honestly believes in the entourage effect! He doesn't want to know how I obtain it, but he wants me to give him feedback on what I am doing and what kind of effect it had on my seizures.
I'm a 37 year old man's man. I curse, have tattoos and scratch whatever whenever I please, but, as my wife and I walked down the hallway I was overcome by emotions and got a "little" misty eyed. I think it was because iI have something else to try to for my seizures and have my doctor open minded. The relationship between a patient and doctor is something no politican should be a part of.
Ok, now that that is off my ches, i have a rea, honest question. Is there anyone here from NC that's wants to help me with a project? PM me and I'll send you a better email address to use so we can talk more
