Ditto - I have always heard positive things regarding the use of THC for seizure treatment. It is something I am definitely going to try . I think I owe it to try anything (reasonable) at this point to control these damned things !

You won’t hear any opposition from me. Studies or not, there’s plenty of personal testimonials that support this.
Ken, I’d recommend you explore this option. It’s a plant. And a social construct that it’s “the devils lettuce”. Don’t let faith (if that’s what may be stopping you) or others opinions stand in your way of taking care of yourself. If it works for you, that’s all that matters.
You got this brother. Whatever you decide, we will ALL support you. And if someone pipes up in opposition, maybe we can pay off a mod here to ban them
1000% in agreement. If nothing else get you some edibles. Is there a warning of any type before they happen? There has been a lot of people put in a lot of work to get medical cannabis passed in GA So there must be something to it.
Good luck sir..

Never used it and have absolutely zero desire. But if I was going through what you're going through, it would be on the table. It'll either work, or it won't.
This has to be the most frustrating part of the medicinal studies of Cannabis
“From the early nineteenth century cannabis extracts were used in Western medicine to treat seizures but cannabis prohibition got in the way of advancing the science,” said Associate Professor Jonathon Arnold from the Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics and the Sydney Pharmacy School.

I point this out because it supports my claim that the use of cannabis being bad is just a social construct. We did this to ourselves. We got in our own way. Imagine how advanced those studies would be if we had just let a plant be a plant. But drinking yourself to oblivion and coating your lungs with the Colonel’s 11 herbs and spices somehow was fine. Let’s not forget all these synthetic medicines that have more side effects than managing or curing the ailment.
This was long winded, as per usual.
Long story short. Throw out conservatism on this one. What you’re going through should allow a hotboxed shag rug van and dime bags hand delivered by Cheech and Chong themselves.
Get well, Ken. Hope to see you at many more meet and greets. And keep us updated on your journey.

‘Mother of all cannabinoids’: anti-seizure compounds in cannabis
How the discovery of the 'mother of all cannabinoids' is helping the team at the Lambert Initiative at the University of Sydney develop a better cannabis-based treatment for Dravet syndrome, an intractable form of childhood epilepsy.
