		<description>&lt;p&gt;Cannibis oil has been used effectively for millenia for many human disorders.
I am not a doctor. I am not a member of any organized religion. I believe in the most ancient spiritual belief system, often called Tao. I believe that the old &quot;religions&quot; were based on this system, including the beliefs and teachings of such people as John the Baptist and his cousin Joshua (now known as Jesus). They would anoint (christos) the sick with oil of kanehbosm (cannibis) and some miracles were the result. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Search the old testament for Exodus 30:22-33. I am told that Moses was &quot;instructed&quot; to annoint his followers with this oil, mixed with some other substances. Search archeological records for evidence of uncovered amphora in the middle east with residues of these substances. Search for current sources and case studies of the use of cannibis oil as a medicating ointment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I began using cannabis as a recreational drug when I was nineteen. I got great grades in college and did well in my professional career. I smoked it secretly almost every day for nearly forty years. I used less and less per &quot;dose&quot; even in the earliest days. I have never had a bad reaction to it. I don&#039;t like the higher levels of active ingredient (thc) but prefer the more common. I now regard it as a sacrement. I haven&#039;t had access to the plant for several years as law enforcement dangers encroach. I have grown very small amounts in some of my homes. May the Way be with you.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;She is a most interesting plant indeed. No man can resist her oily flowers and protein-rich seed. Only enough can he munch before staggering away, lost, for his nap after lunch. For her, he brought pollen. For him, she bears seed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sativex (Nabiximols) is an extraction of all 400+ chemicals from two different kinds of whole marijuana plant. One is high in THC (skunk), the other is high in CBD. You get 2.7 mg THC and 2.5 mg CBD from each spray.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sativex&#039;s better than eating it but inferior to smoking or vaping and it contains alcohol which is an insult to some.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;We have heard of the spray - I think you&#039;re talking about Sativex.  It&#039;s something I&#039;ve heard mixed reviews on, but as of yet the FDA hasn&#039;t approved it.  I believe it isolates THC and CBD (CBD is the one they&#039;re now saying keeps the high of THC from being too intense), but doesn&#039;t give any of the other chemicals in cannabis to the patient.  I would definitely try it for Alex, but until the FDA approves it here, it won&#039;t matter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m also not expecting that it will do much for him, because it just feels like Marinol all over again.  With Marinol, they synthesized the THC, but avoided all the other &quot;dangerous&quot; cannabinoids.  Well, it turns out that pure THC gives people a really freaky high, but doesn&#039;t have a lot of benefit compared to the real plant.  I believe that adding in CBD will help, so Sativex will be a better choice, but I doubt those two cannabinoids are all that matter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, and more importantly, your support.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi - I pop in to check on your posts/website from time to time, but have never commented before. 
I found your wife&#039;s blog about two years ago (I can&#039;t remember how exactly) and started following her.  She may remember me, I asked about her camera and other questions, primarily regarding how the two of you maintained any type of relationship (and I don&#039;t mean physical)  considering the extreme circumstances Alex&#039;s care required.  In any event, one day her blog was inaccessible to me and that was that.  However, I&#039;ve continued to think about all of you from time to time and I check in here, but I&#039;ve never commented or posted previously.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mostly, I wanted to pass along my congratulations on your healthy new baby.  A girl, how wonderful.  :-)
 I also wanted you to know that you&#039;re not alone in your &quot;you try it sometime and let us know how it goes&quot; position.  People are so judgmental.   On a good day, I think &quot;F &#039;em.&quot;  On a bad day, it crushes me to tears.   They have &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; idea.
Lastly, I was thinking of all of you yesterday when I heard about an experimental nasal spray (I think?) out of France that removed &quot;the high&quot; of cannabis but still delivered its other therapeutic properties.  Maybe you&#039;ve already heard of it.  I was wondering if something like this would be an option for Alex, but from this post it doesn&#039;t seem that having him inhale the nasal spray would be optimal.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well, if it helps at all, there is someone who thinks of all of you from time to time and is sending good thoughts your way. 
The best to all of you,
Kim&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;I read the story about your son with great sadness.   I hope by now you have been able to find and use more oil for your son.  I would also like to say that the symptoms your son exhibits can be caused by toxins... from vaccines, chemicals, metals, etc.  These can lead to brain damage in large amounts, and liver or kidney damage in smaller amounts.    In Chinese Medicine anger is an emotion associated with the liver.  Your son exhibits extreme anger thus I believe something has affected his liver.  In addition to cannabis oil you might try various detoxing techniques.  The herb milk thistle is used to detox the liver and protect it as well.  Liquid zeolites are used to detox the body of metals and chemicals at the dose of 10 drops three times a day for a month.   Along with that a tablespoon of chlorella powder is often ingested to absorb toxins in the intestines.  Some folks add activated charcoal and bentonite clay with that.   The herb Burbur is also used to detox from chemicals.   You can Google this.  These are some ideas you can explore if you are interested but I thought you might want some other ideas on how to manage this horrific situation  I wish you well.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks.  It&#039;s amazing to me that cannabis is so shunned when we&#039;re okay with putting these children on other drugs we know are extremely dangerous.  Alex was on Amitriptyline for a while, and his doctor (obviously not the one who had prescribed it) pointed out to us that the difference between a therapeutic dose and a fatal overdose was too small for him to feel comfortable with that medication sticking around unless we had a good reason to keep it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Obviously we had it removed, but why is it even an option when cannabis is not?&lt;/p&gt;
