        In honour of my 1000th tweet, I thought I'd share my #journey to medical #cannabis. When I was an infant, doctors discovered I had an arachnoid cyst. After removing it once (14m old), it grew back. They then placed a shunt in my head (17m old) to drain it, which remains. 1/

        FDA approved Epidiolex is an option for children who suffer from seizures. Whole plant marijuana is not a research-based safe and effective medication. Too risky for the developing brain.

        Explain to me why cannabis is no longer included in the yearly youth survey but flavored nicotine e-liquid is.

        Marijuana use is included in both the NSDUH and MTF surveys.

        Indeed. Cannabis should be legalized and regulated federally, so we can gain control of access, potency and advertising, and facilitate and fund education, treatment, research and harm reduction. Read the major studies on cannabis policy. http://druglibrary.net/schaffer/Library/studies/studies.htm …

        What activities are "known to be safe" during pregnancy? Driving, eating, breathing, walking, etc. are not "known to be safe" either.
