My Migraines and Cannabis Testament
Medical Testimony and Video from Brother Chapin Walton
Its sure a terrible state that our country hasbeen in for the last 100 years. In this time Cannabis ('Marijuana') has becomeillegal when it had been a vital medication and resource for the last 6,000Years. Cannabis helps many where the current pharmaceutical medications fallshort. It has helped me in the past, and to this I am a Religious/Medical user.I believe its been provided for the healing, and care of mankind. I belong toseveral churches and organizations that support this, and when I found thatthey were starting working on getting awareness in Missouri I knew it would beyet another area I wanted to support. Cannabis is not only medicine, but can supportus in many of the resources we need,to survive this harsh world. I believe itsa gift from the Almighty Living God to save us from our sin nature, from Food,to Medicine, to oil and shelter. Its a way we are greatly provided.
I thought today though I'd speak up to let people be aware of how well Cannabisworks for my illness and pain. I myself have been experiencing horribledisabling migraines since I was eight. Normally all the medications I've takendo ABSOLUTELY NO Good my only solution is to craw up in a fetal position andforce myself to sleep in a quiet place. Any of my senses make me hurt more andbecome nauseated. When I then vomit from the nausea the pain at least doubles,making NOTHING tolerable, nothing giving relief. I often have to find someoneto haul me to the Emergency Room, where I have to hide somewhere in the carwhile attempting to hide in the dark. Then get there to wait, be poked,prodded, injected and insist all the lights are turned off when they do get meto a room.
This last week was no exception, it started around 10pm the night before. Wehad company but I couldn't function, I had to head off to bed and force myselfto relax, sleep with the intense pain. I awoke near 8am, just in time to rushmy kids out the door for the bus. Which was complete insanity, the morninglight ripping through my eyes burning and painful, as if someone was cuttingopen my eyes with an "Exacto" knife as I'd. Some compare it as icepicks in your eyes, but it felt like they were being cut as something enteredmy eyes and made it all they way back from every angle. I could hardly functionfor that 10 minutes it took to get them dressed and ready. My only support aremy "Aviator" style sunglasses that cover my face with dark lensesthat block all light from my eyes. After they got on the bus it still proceededto get worse, the shelter the glasses did provide became useless. I had to headoff to my dark room and bed again. I slept for several hours since it was myday off, I awoke to have my pain just a bit better. I hoped I would be able totake some medication, get my nutrient levels up and least make it good enoughto be able to function and get what I needed to done. This was all in vain, Itried to eat that just make me nauseous. I hoped maybe I could smoke somecannabis to dull the pain and help but that just made me more nauseous. Mymigraine just proceeded to get worse. I had to retire again, I couldn't standit. I was next to vomiting, and that was only going to amplify my pain. I goton my mobile phone (Droid) a minute to post online in the 'Social' that I was"TKO", I was out for the count.
Then a friend of mine reminded me of cannabis oil ('hemp oil') and he said itwould help in 10 minutes! I knew cannabis could help, I've felt it many times, butdidn't know how well it would happen this time. I was lucky enough to have somemedical quality cannabis treats on hand. I ate one and wow, within minutesthings began to change! My eyes stopped burning, really fast! I couldn'tbelieve it! I am not going to say it was gone, because it wasn't by back was insevere pain as well as my neck. I could get up and function though! I was luckyenough for it to be my day off so I could keep around the house! It was soamazing. So terrible that this stuff is banned, especially when its beenexplored as medicine for the last 6,000(+) years, and found safe to bemedicine! If it could help me as much who else can it help? I hear MS, CP, andtons of other impossible pains. Its a problem we can't be compassionate and helpothers who can just be in pain, and have to let their family go alone.
I personally ventured off in 2003 and got Ordained because I couldn't believehow Christianity denies 'Marijuana' when God clearly states he made it. So I amworking with local NORML, various ministries and Sensible Missouri to spreadthe truth. Many like me could be helped by using this natural medicine that'snot like the dangerous harmful often ineffective pharmaceuticals.
