What the hell is wrong with you suggesting something like that, that's no permanent solution. Sure it may help in the short term, but he needs to get to the root of the problem, not smoke himself dumb. THC does have qualities not found in traditional medicine, but it is not without side effects. I wouldn't let marijuana abuse be my daily escape from headaches.

Just pulling your leg man....
I see your point, although cops can do anything about writing, good thing becasue alot of you would be in jail with your certain stories that I have read.

i suffer from migranes all the time...i get it atleast 2-3x a week...and i have been to doctors and really they don't give you anything to get rid of it...i take exendrin and advil for migranes and it works, but i only get it in u.s. i know in canada they came out something similar and im not sure if it works the same. sometimes i just take 2-3 pills of regular advil extra strenght and just lay down to relax...
you can also go see your regular doctor to recommend you to a headache doctor...they will take a cat scan. so far that is all i can let you know..

2-3x a week?? wow, i dont know what i'd do if i got migraines that often!
exendrin eh....hmm....i should look into that. they have advil for migraines here but they dont help.
and as for the giving blood solution, that doesnt work for me cuz the last time i got a migraine was the day after i went in for my annual physical and they took blood from me

I also suffer from migraines. I have attributed it to stress and when I was in University, I was getting anywhere from 1 to 5 a week!!! It really sux! The only thing that I have found that really worked for me was magnesium. I started taking a magnesium suppliment, and have only had 1 migraine since (over 8 monthes!) magnesium helps to loosen muscles because tight muscles can cause migraines. Everyone is different though, but it doesn't hurt to try. Try a liquid magnesium to start because you absorb liquid better then pills. It tastes like crap, but if it works, then who cares!!
Good luck!! HTH
