Hello,
My wife suffers from a degenerative eye disease that is very rare (rather not say its so rare but you can probably guess). She's had it improve, and then get worse. She's had "best in their field" neurologists literally come within days of killing her via ammonia toxicity (the pills had shut her liver down, and they said she was just complaining too much!).
Anyways, I found some research recently where MMJ has been very effective at slowing the progress of gluacoma and other degen eye problems.
My wife had another checkup today and her eyes got worse again, as in she could be blind before our daughter grows up. She inquired about MMJ, since North Carolina just came within inches of voting on a bill.
Now this is interesting. The Dr. told her that NC does have exemptions for special cases for MMJ! But this Dr wasn't a neurologist, just doing a routine checkup on the eyes, so we'd have to ask a neurologist she said.
Well we are currently waiting to see the new one, since the last neurologist literally almost killed my wife with topamax (or dopamax my wife called it), and it didn't help.
The ONLY thing that helped my wife at ALL in the last year was switching to a gluten free diet. But she has really slacked and fucked up the gluten free in the last 2-3 months, and the recent checkup confirms the degeneration has accelerated again. It was never stopped, just stalled.
My wife has asthma, so she would obviously need to ingest. She has always hated pot. In the 6 years weve been together, she had a brownie once years ago on the 4th of July, and she was laying on the couch seeing rainbow carpet shooting out of the ground. LOL!. But that was a way too strong brownie, and she would only be interested in trying smaller amounts to see if it did help her eyes.
So this excemption thing is total news to me. Has anybody else heard of it, and what it entails??? Would we be able to grow a small personal amount?
BTW, please do all you can to support HB 577 in North Carolina. The legislature when home without voting on it this year, so we need support for next year!
Thanks!
