A date with the Senator.

So, some people are not going to like this post, while others may love it. I will be having a meeting with Senator Young in August to talk to her about the medical marijuana bill. but let me start from the beginning...


Let me give you my views on medical marijuana: There are MANY medical uses for it. Don't believe me? look it up, do your research before you judge. I don't necessarily think EVERYONE should smoke it. Have you seen some of the people who think they need it? While for a lot of people it can help with anger issues, people who have cancer are known for using it. It helps with appetite and relaxes muscles for people with high muscle tone, like Carsyn.


One use is by taking the THC out and leaving the CBD's. The CBD's have been known to control seizures for people. Now it may not work for everyone, it's not a miracle drug, but it's something. We have been through a LOT of seizure medications, the latest being Clobazam. This new drug is supposed to be better than what Carsyn has been on in the past.. Guess what? His seizures are just as bad if not worse. So this is our last option. We are, at this point, hopeless about getting this under control. Although the bill was passed through Assembly it is not legal to use it medically yet in the state of New York. I have called the health department, his doctors, Governor Cuomo, Kind Clinics, Matt Simon from the Marijuana Policy Project and he helped me get in touch with Senator Young's office to get more information about this and schedule an appointment.

I will be meeting Senator Young not only to tell her that I am in support of the bill but to tell her WHY. She has never been for this bill, so I'm hoping Carsyn's story will change her mind a bit on this subject. This could help a lot of people. not just kids and people with seizures.


Passing this bill would give us some hope in controlling Carsyn's seizures. With the help of Matt Simon, and hopefully some of you guys out there in NY state we can make this happen. We just have to fight for it. and I'm willing to do so until the day I die.

I don't care what I have to do for this, if I have to take it to the media, I will. I will not stop. and I hope you'll help me in this fight.


for information on how to get a hold of Matt Simon, or Senator Young's Offices( to pass on that you're in support of the bill) email me at paulakelwaski@gmail.com


So until next time <3 <3
