Cannabis & Epilepsy – A Medical Marijuana Success: Vernon Phillips In September 2011 whilst touring the west coast of America with TGA Genetics Dioxide & Earl we stopped in to visit a friend and California Hash King, Vernon Phillips or Phillips RX to pick up a high CBD strain for breeding new medical strains. This is the story of his Epilepsy. Vern has been in constant pain since he was 15 years old. In his late 20′s he developed a brain tumor and to cope with the pain smoked large amounts of potent cannabis. He recalls rolling blunts with 7g of pressed bubble hash for the wrap filled with only the legally available Medical Marijuana in California. Californians are able to use cannabis and even grow up to 99 plants for medical purposes and have seen some amazing success stories, Vernon’s is just one of them and I had to bring it to you. After his brain tumor was removed he continued to use cannabis to treat the pain and epilepsy during recovery. He now uses NO pharmaceutical drugs and has been given back his driving license due to the fact that cannabis stops him having seizures and fits. He has won 3 High Times Medical Cannabis Cups in California. and is a true icon for our movement to be proud of. Thanks for having CannabisCureUK and TGA Genetics round for some fine hash dabbins and the great medicine!

This is a video of me having a partial seizure. I am 21 years old and have suffered from epilepsy since I was 5. However, this is the first of my seizures that I was ever able to see. When I was younger, I would always wake up after a seizure and ask what happened, my parents, doctors, teacher, and friends would never tell me much more that “You just had a little trouble.” Senior year of high school I finally got my seizures under control with the help of a VNS stimulator and medication. For 2 ½ years I was seizure free until my junior year of college when I started to have cluster breakthrough seizures. My roommate (the one who filmed my seizure for me) started to describe to me what actually happened during my seizures; it was then that I asked him to film me. He has been there for me through some of my most serious seizures and I trust him with my life. If the title is offensive to anyone I am sorry but I found that the best way to keep my friends and others around me from “Freaking Out” and calling for an ambulance every time is to show them that I am comfortable with myself and the condition that I suffer from. In college this might mean making a little joke about yourself. Thanks -Eric
