My family thought I was having seizures because of weed. I stop thinking it was true. I had more seizures once I quit. I went back to it and been seizure free ever since. 💯💯💯
I'm twenty and smoke medical canabis every day because of my server PTSD ocd and major depressive disorder generlized anxitey disorder fasd and I have hypotheyroidism and hashimotos disease which causes some foot paid. On a daily basis I usally start vaping early afternoon just because that's what triggers my anxitey is I get a lot of stress around there and I only don't smoke three days a weekthe sad part smoking medical canabis has helped more then prescription medication sometime but my doctor prescribed me medical canabis along with in addtiail medince like amitriplyine zoloft wellbutrin levotheyroxine

There's so much information on marijuana/strains , you can grow it I mean there's so much more to it than you would think, it'll keep you busy if you get into like cultivation, any aspect of it for me at least is fun, smoking it, cooking with it, talking about it , and my favorite part looking up strain by strain information, something I'm gonna try to do next year is start making my own crosses (strains) , GMO is still my all time favorite and anything with GMO in the lineage is 9/10 pressure
Too many are tied up with the pain pill world of the sacklers and others, if we can get the lobbyists out of government then doctors can actually back what they believe.
Notice doctors must always qualify their point by saying to try it only after all conventional treatments have failed. Why the heck wouldn't you try it first? It's absolutely harmless to try it and usually way more effective.
I AGREE, and I thought the same thing.... But the doctor is just trying to protect his medical license because unfortunately the North American medical system is beholden to the pharmaceutical industry hence he could lose his license for recommending Cannabis FIRST!
@@Finallyfree423 Doctors are just tools from big pharma! I think a lot of docs know about the mass of benefits of canabis but they wouldnt bite the hand that feed them otherwise they would loose their jobs sooner or later! You can booze yourself to death and loose everything from alcohol but you cant use a plant that has amlost zero sideeffects but tons of medical befefits.....sck world!
I took rx psych meds for 22yrs for everything ranging from bi-polar, PTSD, ADD, agoraphobia, major depression and so on.. Also various meds for neuropathy, including opiates... They either didn't work, made the condition worse, or caused horrific side effects... I tried vaporizing med cannabis, and 20 minutes later I started to cry because it was the first time I felt "normal" and my back didn't hurt... I've been off all the psych and pain meds now for over a year, and live a stable, pain free life thanks to med cannabis...

Getting my med card tomorrow morning! I’m so excited to finally get my med card so I don’t have to sneak around and have anxiety about getting caught just to treat my diseases
I have to go 30mins away to the next state to get it because my.state is so anti cannabis because of so many mormans ect. I havd anxiety bad as well and its the only thing that helos
@@mikethomas4628 Be very careful. As far as I know right now, it is illegal to transport medical and recreational marijuana from a state where it is legal to another one that isn't yet. If you get caught, you will probably be fined heavily, maybe license suspended, and perhaps some jail time. And by the way, I suffer badly from severe Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, as well as constant panic attacks. I'm expecting my first MM card soon in Florida, and I'll have to use it here. I won't be going anywhere else with it.
I am in Canada, and a couple of weeks ago, my doctor committed to referring me to a doctor who is better trained. With my current drug plan, I will then be able to get it prescribed on a 20% co pay(thats all it will cost me). I've been using it for quite some time, but some times have gone without because of cost. I won't have to worry about running out and will be able to choose my dosage better. For those of you who will be getting assistance with your medical cannabis needs, I wish you well. Come back some time and let us know. The more people testify to its benefits, the more awareness, the less stigma, so more can benefit as well.

I hope you were ready to get off of the antidepressant first, this might give people the wrong idea. Smoking a bowl once a day will definitely not hold it down with any clinically significant active depression.
I enjoyed this talk! One topic that kept going through my mind was about the ethics of medical marijuana use, especially viewed through the lens of a few principles of ethics such as beneficience and non-maleficence. Beneficence refers to the obligation of healthcare providers to act in the best interest of their patients. In the context of medical marijuana use, this principle suggests that healthcare providers should consider the potential benefits of using medical marijuana to alleviate symptoms or treat medical conditions. For example, medical marijuana has been shown to be effective in managing chronic pain, nausea, and muscle spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis. Non-maleficence refers to the obligation to avoid harm or minimize the risk of harm to patients. In the context of medical marijuana use, this principle suggests that healthcare providers should consider the potential risks of using medical marijuana, such as the risk of addiction, impairment of cognitive function, and the potential for adverse drug interactions. Healthcare providers should carefully weigh the potential benefits of medical marijuana against its potential risks before recommending it to patients. Overall, these two views provide a unique perspective to take into account when a provider is deciding on how to help their patient. Patients should be provided with accurate information, based on evidence of research, to make an informed decision about whether or not to use it.
Reality hurts when you grow older and discover that Marijuana, which used to be taught as dangerous and illegal, was more beneficial to people with serious medical problems. With the right dosage and guidance, Marijuana can help and save many people’s lives.
When it is so obviously clear that anything will help children stop this kind of seizure activity, in my mind, there is nothing more to discuss about it. Failure to support this treatment is straight up child abuse.
It’s honestly mindblowing as a teen currently smoking 🍃 and using it for my mental health. This herb is a medicine and not giving it out to people who need it is a crime.
@@3mirr3rz74 I understand managing mental issues is a real thing, but be aware of very recent research showing smoking in your teens will not allow full brain development, costing an average of 10 IQ points. That said, you will be better off with smoking, than ever drinking a drop. Most everything else that shall go nameless here, is just bad for you. Also remember too much of anything, including water, can kill you.
@@rjsimpkins2911 The study stated that chronic use leads to the drop, I have to also mention a study that was done on a series of kids who smoked a lot, didn't smoke, and smoked moderately over the course of decades and when scientists did a brain scan on them found that they had the same results.
We shouldn't be telling anyone what they can and cant consume especially other adults. We have god given rights outlined in our constitution and we are all sovereign. Unless we are doing harm to another person or their property it is no one elses business what we do or dont do and government the way it is now is out of control. Marijuana, kratom, and many others were given to us by God and are there for specific reasons and we should be able to use them at our own discretion and also be granted honest and unbiased information about all these substances. We do not have transparency right now, nor do we have uncorrupted agency's. Its sickening actually.
Right for me I have really bad ADD and major depression 😔 I was on meds for my depression but started realizing that I was extremely exhausted and now had no energy. Cannabis does help me clear my head and makes things okay. I think that’s why it’s not legal cuz they already know the benefits and don’t want us to get the help we need. But yet will offer other medications that sometimes doesn’t always help you fully
@@SharlenesJourney yo me too, I stopped my anti depressants a while ago and been smoking weed more, and I’ve definitely been feeling better!! I don’t know why weed gets so much hate smh
@@pholilesethantsho4571 yea we drink it as tea in Jamaica if you don’t wanna smoke... you can also buy edibles but I’d stay away from them cause even I get trippy off them for a couple hours and I smoke everyday 😂

My daughters been put into a coma twice as she just wouldnt come out of the seizures. I'm in the uk and the meds they have her on have made her so over weight, tired and dependent upon them for her mood. Shes 16 and I just want to swap so she can taste life. They shouldnt keep this away from us, it's not theirs its everyones.
I’ve always had really poor school performance always Fs and Ds from pre-k to 11th grade I wasn’t a bad kid or anything never got in trouble. But I started experimenting with it during summer and went into 12th grade using and my grades boosted like crazy my self confidence and I was able to pay attention so much easier and I was able to learn better but I decided to quit 1 months back and my grades plummeted it’s been very hard to pass classes now and focus on my school work.
I started lexapro (20mg per day) and i was never able to orgasm even though my depression subsided. I started MM and I have zero issues, in fact several benefits aside from orgasming. My relationship with my spouse has improved SO much.
How much do you give for pain. It's not helping with my mom's neck pain she has a blood cancer for some reason the pain is in her neck! What kind d of docs can help
You need to find high strength oils which can be slightly annoying and a long process. The best way is to get CBD flower and smoke/vape it trust me! Or make oils out of the flower yourself, The effects are instant.
2 heart attack by the age of two I knew of charlettes story but I had no clue it was.that bad I woulda thrown my medical license out the way now to save that little girl mostly because my daughter's name is charlette I would not be able to function if my daughter had to experience that also fun nite she was at a place where she could not walk and the seizures had caused damage to her knees and elbows so to see her dancing is amazing
Medical Marijuana is beneficial to us and can be utilized to remedy headaches, cure asthma, pain relief, and depression. As of today, many states are now legalizing cannabis because of its medical benefits.
What's funny is when they have a guilty conscience for giving a child Cannabis even if it means saving her life but they have a clean conscience pumping her full of very very strong benzodiazepines such as Midazolam which is highly addictive and structurally very similar to Xanax (Alprazolam) and which don't work.....or don't work well
Medical marijuana has been up for debate as there has been many discussions on how it fits into government policies and whether or not scientific research is strong enough to support its use. One of the statements made included the need to look at evidence from research and allow the use of medical marijuana because of the therapeutic effects from its ingredients. Utilitarianism would back this because the benefit of relieving patients from pain and unfavorable physical conditions outweighs the cost of possible upset over legal issues. One who practices ethics of care would agree with the utilitarian and state that emphasis should be placed on compassion for the patient.
In India we over weed to God shiva and this plant was banned due to us pressure but now finally someone says.. India should legalize the medical cannabis
I've used medical cannabis for about 10 years now for type 1 bipolar disorder. Thanks to medical cannabis I no longer need lithium or the other plethora of pills they would throw at me. I went from multiple manias a day to where now my manias have been reduced to once every few months. Not only that is the symptoms have become less extreme and more manageable. It's not a cure but it definitely serves a great purpose. Plus I would rather use something natural and effective vs taking pills.
God bless you. I saw Charlotte before. Her suffering, and her relief after. Then I remember them treating many more children with the same success. By the way, 64000 people died in the United States from so called pain killers in 2016 alone.
it has to do with how the plant ligands ( phytocanabinoids) access our cell membranes and express there... THCV is showing to be the most anti viral agent in cannabis... any viruses stuck to protien linings in cells can be eliminated via phytocannabinoid metabolism . THCV via cannabinoid receptor activation moves the virus around until eliminated
In the fifties Duponts (one of the elites) invented the nylon rope. To kill competition from hemp ropes the government obligingly made hemp (marijuana) illegal at a cost of billions. Dupont also failed to patent the celluloid movie film, losing billions in revenue.
I am very much disappointed when people like this Dr. does not talk about Indian research and contribution to medical marijuana.. As per the Indian vedic research cancer, leprosy like disease can be cured by marijuana..
Shoutout to India for its contribution to this medicine and other herbs. We have all the cures growing from the soil of this beautiful planet but we need to research more.

Smoking a bowl once a day will definitely not hold it down with any clinically significant active depression.
I enjoyed this talk! One topic that kept going through my mind was about the ethics of medical marijuana use, especially viewed through the lens of a few principles of ethics such as beneficience and non-maleficence.
Beneficence refers to the obligation of healthcare providers to act in the best interest of their patients. In the context of medical marijuana use, this principle suggests that healthcare providers should consider the potential benefits of using medical marijuana to alleviate symptoms or treat medical conditions. For example, medical marijuana has been shown to be effective in managing chronic pain, nausea, and muscle spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis.
Non-maleficence refers to the obligation to avoid harm or minimize the risk of harm to patients. In the context of medical marijuana use, this principle suggests that healthcare providers should consider the potential risks of using medical marijuana, such as the risk of addiction, impairment of cognitive function, and the potential for adverse drug interactions. Healthcare providers should carefully weigh the potential benefits of medical marijuana against its potential risks before recommending it to patients.
Overall, these two views provide a unique perspective to take into account when a provider is deciding on how to help their patient. Patients should be provided with accurate information, based on evidence of research, to make an informed decision about whether or not to use it.
Thanks so much for standing up and speaking for those who really need medical help with less to none side effects. 🙏
Greetings from e.u
Thank you so much for sharing what many of us already know - this plant is the future of medicine
Reality hurts when you grow older and discover that Marijuana, which used to be taught as dangerous and illegal, was more beneficial to people with serious medical problems. With the right dosage and guidance, Marijuana can help and save many people’s lives.
When it is so obviously clear that anything will help children stop this kind of seizure activity, in my mind, there is nothing more to discuss about it. Failure to support this treatment is straight up child abuse.
It’s honestly mindblowing as a teen currently smoking 🍃 and using it for my mental health. This herb is a medicine and not giving it out to people who need it is a crime.
@@3mirr3rz74 I understand managing mental issues is a real thing, but be aware of very recent research showing smoking in your teens will not allow full brain development, costing an average of 10 IQ points. That said, you will be better off with smoking, than ever drinking a drop. Most everything else that shall go nameless here, is just bad for you. Also remember too much of anything, including water, can kill you.
@@rjsimpkins2911 uhh I’m currently 18 and I had my head checked and um my brain is growing perfectly
@@rjsimpkins2911 face book will turn it into mush even quicker. Granny.
@@rjsimpkins2911 The study stated that chronic use leads to the drop, I have to also mention a study that was done on a series of kids who smoked a lot, didn't smoke, and smoked moderately over the course of decades and when scientists did a brain scan on them found that they had the same results.
Praying for a world where anyone can have access to Cannabis. So many in need out there who can't have it coz it's stupidly illegal.
💯💯🙏🙏
We shouldn't be telling anyone what they can and cant consume especially other adults. We have god given rights outlined in our constitution and we are all sovereign. Unless we are doing harm to another person or their property it is no one elses business what we do or dont do and government the way it is now is out of control. Marijuana, kratom, and many others were given to us by God and are there for specific reasons and we should be able to use them at our own discretion and also be granted honest and unbiased information about all these substances. We do not have transparency right now, nor do we have uncorrupted agency's. Its sickening actually.
Indeed.
Right for me I have really bad ADD and major depression 😔 I was on meds for my depression but started realizing that I was extremely exhausted and now had no energy. Cannabis does help me clear my head and makes things okay. I think that’s why it’s not legal cuz they already know the benefits and don’t want us to get the help we need. But yet will offer other medications that sometimes doesn’t always help you fully
@@SharlenesJourney yo me too, I stopped my anti depressants a while ago and been smoking weed more, and I’ve definitely been feeling better!! I don’t know why weed gets so much hate smh
Im a cancer survivor, I smoke medical cannabis for 17 years
How is medical cannabis actually?? Is it similar to natural or something abstract?
@@worldstop5370 Its just cannabis
Much love, Dr. Shackleford. I miss seeing you every year!
Thank You Doctor Shackelford. God Bless You
Thank God I live in Canada. With it legal here maybe researchers can finally get to all the other unknown beneficial effects it has.
This herb is also desribed as top 5 most miracle herb.. In the Hindu mythological book "Atharvaved"
Thank you for the information.
I need to knw if we can only smoke it
Or they other options like boiling it n drink like tea?
@@pholilesethantsho4571 smoking it is not proper way... Their is a recipe for it .. You have to boil it wt several things
@@pholilesethantsho4571 yea we drink it as tea in Jamaica if you don’t wanna smoke... you can also buy edibles but I’d stay away from them cause even I get trippy off them for a couple hours and I smoke everyday 😂
@@pholilesethantsho4571 you can make tinctures/oils its very very very strong be careful because it’s powerful because it saves you from life/death situations but please understand that a doctor should guide you best.
That was a really touching story!
Thank you for this educative INFO...RVH.
Thank you doctor for helping a beautiful little girl named Charlotte!

If this is the case from now on I will smoke weed for the rest of my lifetime
Medical marijuana has been treating serious illnesses for years now. I think we can all agree that it has its own purpose in terms of medicinal use.
It has been a life savor for our son with autism ❤
Wow amazing speech
Btw his voice sounds so younger than as he looks lol
Are you saying he looks really old?;)
It’s because of the weed
Used to have stomach pains and started smoking cannabis and boom no more pains. To think I used to hate it..
I’m a disabled vet prescribed fentanyl. Cannabis saved my life.
Fenta is scary stuff man
😊💗

Marijuana is mentioned in Ayurveda and in very few temples it is given as Prasad to Shiva devotees at a temple in Karnataka, India.
I’ve always had really poor school performance always Fs and Ds from pre-k to 11th grade I wasn’t a bad kid or anything never got in trouble. But I started experimenting with it during summer and went into 12th grade using and my grades boosted like crazy my self confidence and I was able to pay attention so much easier and I was able to learn better but I decided to quit 1 months back and my grades plummeted it’s been very hard to pass classes now and focus on my school work.
Thank you for being brave Doctor
smoking it can extend your life if you have multiple myeloma, I know I have had it for 7 years without treatment and I am still here!.
👆👆Look up the plug🔌 ..he got all trippy products 🍄🍫💊

Find plants with the strongest terpenes that r most beneficial to your medical need
Such a good TedTalk👍
I started lexapro (20mg per day) and i was never able to orgasm even though my depression subsided. I started MM and I have zero issues, in fact several benefits aside from orgasming. My relationship with my spouse has improved SO much.
Reproductive system is loaded with cannabinoid receptors ... the second largest accumulation of those cell receptors after the Brain

I am so sorry to hear that. May I ask you if you know Jesus Christ?
How much do you give for pain. It's not helping with my mom's neck pain she has a blood cancer for some reason the pain is in her neck! What kind d of docs can help
You need to find high strength oils which can be slightly annoying and a long process. The best way is to get CBD flower and smoke/vape it trust me! Or make oils out of the flower yourself, The effects are instant.
So much suffering, I understand.
Oh dear 😢
It's so painful to see that child in such a condition 😢
2 heart attack by the age of two I knew of charlettes story but I had no clue it was.that bad I woulda thrown my medical license out the way now to save that little girl mostly because my daughter's name is charlette I would not be able to function if my daughter had to experience that also fun nite she was at a place where she could not walk and the seizures had caused damage to her knees and elbows so to see her dancing is amazing
Medical Marijuana is beneficial to us and can be utilized to remedy headaches, cure asthma, pain relief, and depression. As of today, many states are now legalizing cannabis because of its medical benefits.
Stopped taking weed now watching these videos because I had an episode but after taking week again I'm better..
My father is having advance stage cancer of prostate, can consuming cannabis orally help him he can not smoke cannabis.
look up = RSO / FECO . Rick Simpson oil / full extract cannabis oil ....
Amen Amen Amen God Bless you Charlot
Yeaa buddy
RIP Charlotte
Whare i can buy cannabis oil..?
At a dispensary, or if youre in Alabama, then just down the street and across the creek
What's funny is when they have a guilty conscience for giving a child Cannabis even if it means saving her life but they have a clean conscience pumping her full of very very strong benzodiazepines such as Midazolam which is highly addictive and structurally very similar to Xanax (Alprazolam) and which don't work.....or don't work well
Natural cures in the plants on our Planet must be allowed In all medical Arenas !!!

Medical marijuana has been up for debate as there has been many discussions on how it fits into government policies and whether or not scientific research is strong enough to support its use. One of the statements made included the need to look at evidence from research and allow the use of medical marijuana because of the therapeutic effects from its ingredients. Utilitarianism would back this because the benefit of relieving patients from pain and unfavorable physical conditions outweighs the cost of possible upset over legal issues. One who practices ethics of care would agree with the utilitarian and state that emphasis should be placed on compassion for the patient.
In India we over weed to God shiva and this plant was banned due to us pressure but now finally someone says..
India should legalize the medical cannabis
THE WAY YOU TELL THE ANSWER -WHO ARE YOU? 6:25 BRAVO! TAKE A BOW
Thank u for sharing doc..❤
Is it just THC or is there also a healthy dose of CBD involved I'm not talking about the trace elements normally found in marijuana I'm talking added
cannabis plant either has a pathway to create CBD-a or a pathway for THC-a... the A is the acidic form , meaning Raw plant cananbinoids
We need to make it legal
Amazing grace!
someone owes me a damn tissue!
Good man!
I THANK YOU
Unfortunately, Charlotte passed away in 2020 due to complications caused by Covid-19. May God bless her soul 🥺❤️
i am v sorry :(
I bet she was forced into having the jab was she ?
Sending love to the family ❤ I’m glad she lived a much longer life than expected
Well done and brave Dr Alan. Green hello holland.
I've used medical cannabis for about 10 years now for type 1 bipolar disorder. Thanks to medical cannabis I no longer need lithium or the other plethora of pills they would throw at me. I went from multiple manias a day to where now my manias have been reduced to once every few months. Not only that is the symptoms have become less extreme and more manageable. It's not a cure but it definitely serves a great purpose. Plus I would rather use something natural and effective vs taking pills.
Cannabis is a medicinal plant that has help hundreds of people I know am happy it help u bro for ur disorder.
👆👆👆👆 add me up if need good quality of medical cannabis
God bless you. I saw Charlotte before. Her suffering, and her relief after. Then I remember them treating many more children with the same success. By the way, 64000 people died in the United States from so called pain killers in 2016 alone.
Cannabis also neutralizes 5/8 of tick borne diseases symptoms - we have nothing to date that works
it has to do with how the plant ligands ( phytocanabinoids) access our cell membranes and express there... THCV is showing to be the most anti viral agent in cannabis... any viruses stuck to protien linings in cells can be eliminated via phytocannabinoid metabolism . THCV via cannabinoid receptor activation moves the virus around until eliminated
God bless you mate 🙏 keep up the great work 🙌
In the fifties Duponts (one of the elites) invented the nylon rope. To kill competition from hemp ropes the government obligingly made hemp (marijuana) illegal at a cost of billions. Dupont also failed to patent the celluloid movie film, losing billions in revenue.
Smoked 2 joints watching this. Medical marijuana patient.
Wow, 2 joints in 10mins :21sec....!
@DeepForest id love to hear where you got that number from lmao
Finding cures for things such as depression and possibly speech impediments
I am very much disappointed when people like this Dr. does not talk about Indian research and contribution to medical marijuana..
As per the Indian vedic research cancer, leprosy like disease can be cured by marijuana..
I agree. Indians are the God father of weed.
Amazing-thanks
@Ashwini, can you please point me to this research I'm very interested.
Only THC part makes people high
Shoutout to India for its contribution to this medicine and other herbs.
We have all the cures growing from the soil of this beautiful planet but we need to research more.
you tanks
Wow amazing everyone should be grateful for where there at look at that young girl if you depressed jus be grateful
Por favor, sería importante traducción.... español, francés... para que llegue a más gente en el mundo
