Re "migraines take toll on women," (Sept. 21): My 36-year-old wife used to get migraines. As an epileptic, she got them pretty often and they were truly ferocious. In the spring of 2002, she stopped taking all of her pharmaceutical medications and decided to use only one medicine for all of her ailments: Medical cannabis. She never gets migraines any more, and when she does get the occasional headache, it is milder and doesn't last as long. Beating migraines can sometimes be as easy as quitting certain foods, avoiding tobacco, alcohol and caffeine -- or using a natural, herbal medication instead of a synthetic. But don't listen to my opinion. Just go to Google and type in "migraines, medical marijuana" for your own answers. Russell Barth Ottawa (Another cure gone to pot) - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
