“I’ve been suffering from menstrual migraines since I was 12 years old. When they occur, you can see the muscles in my neck and back crinkling like golf balls, it’s like I’m holding my temples. I can’t eat, I can’t swallow with water or any liquid, if I vomit, I can’t lie down, I can’t stand up, I can’t sleep, sometimes I can’t even use the bathroom. I am unable to function as a human being for 24 to 72 hours. they prescribed A) they did nothing for the pain or B) they needed to be eaten with food, which was impossible and a waste, since I just threw it all away again. When I smoke cannabis, I get immediate relief. “
“I can do things again, prepare and eat a decent meal, sleep, and I don’t yell at anyone who touches me or turns on the light. It helped me more than any doctor, because where I live it is impossible to get medical marijuana unless you are completely terminal. But when migraines hit me now, I don’t cry anymore while my partner feels powerless to do anything, I didn’t want to be dying just to get rid of the pain, and I came out on the other side much better than when I was prescribed opioids. “
