Ok you Brothers & Sisters tell me what you think of this situation.
I've been a pot smoker most of my life. I have also been Epileptic most of my life. When I was young, Iused it recreationally and I read the articles saying it was good for Glaucoma and good for epileptics. I used that as an excuse to smoke recreationally. But it never got out of hand. No way would I (or did I) ever go to work stoned. It's nice to be thinking clearly especially in my line of work. Nights & weekends kind of thing.
But eventually, I grew out of it. Smoking pot is a young man thing. I was about 35 then and wanted to set the pot down. So I did. And 3 days later I had the first epileptic seizure that I had in 18 years. I thought I had grown out of being epileptic too, and had gone totally off my medication for a long time without a seizure so I thought it was ok. 3 days later I did have a seizure by stopping smoking pot. SO I did what I should have and went to the doctor, EG and all that, back on medication.
I started smoking pot again too ust in case, because I had to drive for my work. Every job is a different house. I can't be having seizures in traffic! I started smoking again and went on medicine and I remained seizure free for another 11 years. And by that time, I wanted to quit smoking pot again. EH, that was prolly a fluke that happened before. So I did quit smoking pot again, after all, I was still on medication and everything was ok. 1 seizure in 11 years I didnt feel high risk. high risk. Stop smoking pot and exactly 4 days later I had another seizure. A grand mal seizure at 70 mph on the highway. I rolled the truck 3 times after hitting a tree. (It was the Lord saved my Life!!)
That proved one thing that day. It wasnt a fluke that I had a seizure from not smoking pot. First time I tried to quit, 3 days later. 2nd time I quit, 4 days later and on medication at the same time! SO guess what? I smoke pot. I have to drive to live. I have all sorts of things to do around town. Groceries, pay bills, buy stuff. I live alone and I dont have a chauffer, lol.
It's a young man thing, smoking pot. I dont want to be a pot smoker. I like being clear headed. I dont have to smoke much. A few hits in the evening keeps it in my system so I can feel confident enough to drive. Plus it's a good muscle relaxer and lets me sleep better. I got a lot of back damage in the accident.
What would you do, Brothers & Sisters?
I have prayed about it and the Lord's pretty silent about it. So I came to the conclusion that this is prolly just my thorn in the flesh?
