I have cerebral and cerebellar organic brain disorder. This means that I have trouble walking, poor balance, problems with speech, poor short term concentration and I tire easily. My condition is permanent and progressive. I have also been diagnosed with bi-polar affective disorder.

Cannabis helps to balance my neural synapse transmission and improves my sleep cycle. It also triggers my serotonin flow which means I have less depression and anxiety and fewer extreme bi-polar episodes. Because of this I was able to stop taking Prozac and Paxil. Cannabis also stimulates my hormonal imbalance and, thus, I am less dependent on levothyroxin and thyroxin.

I get my medicine from the BC Compassion Club Society because it means I am no longer supporting the underground economy and that I am no longer putting myself at risk through exposure to this element. Cannabis from the Compassion Club is also less expensive and is monitored by trained staff. The Compassion Club also provides me with auxiliary services and with a supportive environment.
