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.
