Oh for fuck's sake.

Take a record of who goes into which booth. If you find the asshole who does shit like that, ban 'em. I understand what happens in those booths, why they're there, all of that, but a god damn poop condom goes beyond acceptable limits. Make them do that shit in their own homes.

ACCEPT YOUR FATE AND SHAVE THAT SHIT.

Talking about auras and hangovers... My aura is a slightly dizzy/heavy pressure feeling. Dizzy isn't the right word for it, but it's the closest I have. The heavy pressure is exactly what it sounds like - feels like heavy weight is pressing down on my shoulders.

As far as hangovers go... My reaction is exactly opposite to yours. I feel better after a seizure. It's like my brain has taken a fat shit. Heh.

I saw you're in your current situation because you'd been prescribed the maximum dosage of your medicines with no results. I'm a big guy, and several years ago my neurologist prescribed a very high dosage of Carbatrol/tegratol and zonegran. I took that dosage for, like I said, several years. During that time I'd reliably have a seizure a day and a near-constant state of what I perceived as an aura. Long story short, turns out I was taking WAY, WAY too much medicine. After greatly reducing my dosages, I'm now seizure and aura-free. In other words, I was being given a severe overdose of epilepsy medicine for several years.

My question - is it possible you're taking too much medicine?

No offense meant, Dr Gupta, but if you do an AMA about the reasons to legalize, you're preaching to the choir. Reddit might be a massive community, but it's overwhelmingly pro-legalization. If you want to do some good, have some town hall discussions in red states. You can probably change minds the average redditor can't.

All the same, thanks for speaking the truth.
