    I have this from lyme disease. It is most likely from infected teeth from spirochetes

    What she said, my daily life is so terrible with both depression and anxiety. Always have panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, and nervous breakdowns. Only medication I’ve found to help was cannabis which is illegal in my state unfortunately. Legalize it globally! 420 Stay lifted

    I have sickle cell. I understand

    Pain especially chronic pain can be so debilitating on a person’s life. I suffer from chronic pain and the only thing doctors want to do is prescribe opiates and now they’re paranoid about even prescribing those because of the addiction epidemic, which I completely understand.

    But they cant cutoff opiates without something to replace them with and medical marijuana can and does help a lot of people. I’ve tried CBD but I don’t think it was the right strain or strong enough. What I want is to try Charlotte’s Web.

    If the government still doesn’t want its citizens using mmj, then it better start funding research into better chronic pain therapies and medications that work for everyone.

    Why is she using so much make-up? She looks much better without..



  8. much yeet on November 3, 2017 at 9:44 pm

    she looks good throughout but with makeup it’s like ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh



  9. Jessica Dozier on November 3, 2017 at 9:45 pm

    My story is similar to yours. I smoked when I was younger and quit for many years because I was having weird reactions to it. Fast forward to my late 20’s… I was having really bad anxiety and depression, the worst I’ve ever had. I tried smoking again bc I was at the point of trying anything. Let me just say, since I’ve been smoking again it is a world of difference. I also use the CBD oil for headaches and menstrual cramps. CBD oil in my state is hard to find and thc is still illegal.



  10. Cooking With Cannabis on November 3, 2017 at 9:45 pm

    I am a Canadian Medical MJ user. I have fibro, rheumatoid & Osteoarthritis . I am 53 , I do not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol ( anymore) on my cooking with cannabis channel, I am working very hard to legitimize medical mj!



  11. 238haden on November 3, 2017 at 9:47 pm

    Hope we can get an update video in the future to see if it helps her in the long term or if her body will get used to it and the pain come back



  12. James Misplaced on November 3, 2017 at 9:50 pm

    I have Psoriatic Arthritis, psoriasis and I broke my back working in a prison for the state of Tn. I’ve often wondered if I could use medical marijuana to get away from opiates….



  13. lambhdeargh on November 3, 2017 at 9:55 pm

    Why is it still so expensive?



  14. 错鞘 on November 3, 2017 at 9:56 pm

    the best medication against those brain issue you have is to stop looking in the mirror, stop caring about your looks and the pain will go away



  15. Samuel on November 3, 2017 at 9:57 pm

    Warning med Marijuana is so much more powerful than the standard street quality.



  16. moist grand paps on November 3, 2017 at 9:57 pm

    Kind of sucks Pennsylvania’s medical act didn’t take place for a pretty long time so though we could say we allow cannabis you weren’t legally allowed to obtain it



  17. UnboundGodz on November 3, 2017 at 9:59 pm

    Wish medical marijuana was a thing near me, totally would help with depression over pills that could give me a heart attack ;/

  26. Kevin Jimenez on November 3, 2017 at 10:04 pm

    I was hit by a boulder while on a hike in Hawaii three years ago. I fractured five vertebrae in my neck and back, and sustained injuries to my shoulder, hip, and ankle. After countless doctors appointments and physical therapy sessions I was desperate for any relief from the chronic pain. My doctors placed me on a regimen of opiates, muscle relaxers, benzos, and nerve medications. Marijuana not only helped me with detoxing off the meds but also improved my overall pain and quality of life. It truly is a gift to mankind. It saved my life and gave me hope for a pain free future.

  42. J_ J_ on November 3, 2017 at 10:27 pm

    OMG ive never heard of this TN before and for a few yrs now I get this pain that makes me look like those people in the video!!!! ive always thought it was sinus drainage built up over the yrs … ive taken myself of to A&E before as the pain is too much to cope with … only way i can describe it to people is like my face is giving birth feels like pushing my teeth out …. any advice as to whether or not it sounds like i may have TN? it only happens max 2-3 times a year if it comes on in my sleep it wakes me up in agony and i have to take the strongest pain killers i can buy …. im a bit of a mystery to my ENT specialist but maybe ive hit on something here? i had a scan of my sinus area and nothing showed up!



  43. Big Dopes on November 3, 2017 at 10:27 pm

  50. Travis Travis on November 3, 2017 at 10:34 pm
