The cost of a migraine headache:
In the
United States, more than 30 million people suffer from debilitating Migraine Headaches. With the stressors of modern living, that number keeps growing as do the
billions of dollars migraine sufferers spend on prescription drugs. In addition, forty seven percent of migraine victims also suffer from Clinical Depression, an even bigger multi-billion dollar industry. Obviously, anything that threatens such a lucrative cash cow is understandably to be feared, denied, denigrated and, of course, prohibited!! Such is the case with Marijuana Therapy which has been employed throughout the world for thousands of years as an effective treatment for Migraines. Its safety, economy, ease of administration, and immediacy of action is denied via propaganda of the multi-national machine. Meanwhile, we have all been duped to accept the ludicrous idea that concentrated poisons concocted in laboratories of profit-oriented corporations are more compatible with the human body than an ancient, healing, earth plant. We even accept that prescribed drugs can cause permanent organ damage! or that an over-dose can kill. The “medical model” of swallowing what the doctor prescribes – however dangerous is shamefully entrenched in the robotic mentality of today’s passive population. (Marijuana alters this conditioning of unconsciousness by its innate consciousness-raising quality so that the person thinks for her/him self. (another Blog entirely)What is a migraine? How does marijuana help? How do prescription drugs work? A migraine is caused by enlargement of blood vessels, especially in the artery below the temple. The inflamed vessels interfere with neighboring nerves, which react by releasing inflammatory chemicals. Pain ensues. Further dilation of blood vessels follows. There is yet stronger pain. The Sympathetic Nervous System becomes over-activated causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, extreme sensitivity to light and sound and blurred vision.Marijuana Balances the Autonomic Nervous System. For nearly twenty years, the scientific community has known that the Cannabinoid Network in humans (and other mammals) is the modulating, moderating, and regulating system responsible for balance throughout the body. THC and other compounds (called cannabinoids) unique to marijuana, mimic, with uncanny precision and even with increased efficacy and enthusiasm, the natural brain chemical responsible for balancing the Autonomic Nervous System! Cannabis is anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-emetic. It is a muscle relaxant and a mild vasodilator that lowers blood pressure. No wonder it helps a Migraine! It soothes the over-activation of the Sympathetic Nervous System almost immediately, with utmost safety! Rather than smoking it, marijuana can be vaporized so that just pure balancing cannabinoids are inhaled, i.e. – no carcinogenic substances. This insures that we breathe better. The Migraine fades as Autonomic Balance is restored. If marijuana is administered regularly, Migraine Headaches are usually a thing of the past – a really frightful scenario for the Drug Companies. Prescription Drugs suppress, anesthetize, and poison the body – just a little. Scientists don’t know exactly how Migraine Drugs work. One theory is that they somehow change interactions between specific brain hormones. Another theory: the drugs affect the arteries directly. And yet another theory: decreased production of specific, inflammatory hormones. Rather than breathing better as with Marijuana Therapy, these “medications” have warnings of inhibited breathing. Heart rate can become too fast or dangerously slowed. Drowsiness, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, loss of stamina, insomnia, nausea, depression, memory loss, impotence, dry mouth, difficulty urinating and blurred vision are all listed as side effects. Marijuana Therapy has no such discomforts or dangers. It is safe, effective, proven over millennia, easily grown, simply administered, economical, and has, as its most prominent side effect (according to the Institute of Medicine) a general feeling of well-being – which is forbidden!!
