Letter: Patient says marijuana works

Shauna Osborn

Oroville Mercury Register

Thursday 25 Aug 2011

I have had severe migraines for three decades along with daily headaches that would be a migraine to most people. When I was young I had melanoma in my eye, optic nerve and brain tissue, which they removed all three. Since that time I have been on a doctor rollercoaster. I have been to headache clinics, therapy, trials, you name it. I've tried recommended diets, natural alternatives and every medication they could think of including migraine, antidepressants, high blood pressure, anti nausea, etc.

The side effects from a lot of the meds were horrible, but I tried anyway since the migraines were debilitating. Nothing has worked. I have one of the top neurologists in the country who specializes in migraines, and even this doctor cannot figure out why I have them or how to stop them.

After almost giving up, I was offered an edible containing cannabis. It's a miracle. For the first time in 40 years I feel alive and headache free. I do not feel high, just good. I have to back Robert Galia and Citizens for Compassionate Use 100 percent. There are people who abuse medical marijuana, but don't blame the dispensaries or growers. Blame the doctors that write the scripts for illegitimate illnesses.

If any public official or person against the use of medical marijuana were to walk in my shoes for a day or one day of a seriously ill patient, I strongly believe they would be a supporter too.
