That's not true at all. I've had migraines since I was about 12 yrs old. I get the full on visual aura before the actual headache starts. I lose about 1/3 of my vision for 45 minutes or so. Always the left side of my vision, and always the same "shape". I have a strobing green/black aura shaped like Africa over the left side of my vision. I get one a month on average, sometimes up to 3 in a month, sometimes if I'm lucky 1 every 2 months.
I've taken just about every kind of triptan-based medication available for migraines, and none of them work as well as MJ. The triptan-based drugs can make you feel just as bad as the migraine with the dizziness and nausea. MJ eliminates the headache enough to where you can actually sleep it off instead of tossing and turning feeling your skin crawl and your head throb. No nausea either. And it eliminates the "medicine head" feeling afterwards.
I would never advocate for people to go out and acquire illegal drugs. But I believe it when a fellas says it relieved his migraine effectively. Never had anything but relief with it. It's been the same every time. No bad results at all.
