My wife has epilepsy and chronic migraines. Early in her diagnosis, about fifteen years ago, she was taking over twenty prescriptions a day - she had to carry them around in a backpack. Thanks to the miracle of medical marijuana, not only are her symptoms under better control, but she needs only two prescriptions a day.
This video shows the effect of marijuana on hand tremors. Spoiler: it's instant relief, unlike any pill she's ever taken for them. And today's tremors are very minor - there are times when I have to light the pipe for her. But no matter how bad they are, relief is only seconds away, with no side effects, unlike the pill that takes at least ten minutes and makes her feel like she's having a heart attack instead. Or the muscle relaxer that takes a half hour and only sorta works and dries out her mouth and eyes. Or the one that turns her into a zombie for a half a day.
