I’m reading the health comments and how is that skunk weed marijuana are supposedly coming from Mexico in every country around the world I don’t believe that Mexico was shipping it to every country around the world is this government I’m just curious cause it seems like that would be a government thing but then why them that would be horribly shameful and how does some countries have it illegal although it’s being shipped in is that fair to punish the people for what they get? I don’t believe it is it should be legal around the world if they’re shipping it around the world shouldn’t it? Especially when it’s a lot of people with health problems using it diabetes, a lot of autoimmune disorders lotta stomach problems and it’s kind of weird how it’s so helpful and yet the government uses it to punish people it makes no sense?

ephaptic transmission in MS.

My Neuro report came back thankfully but has described some symptoms shortly after my last vaccination as ephaptic transmission in MS. It was a written report so unable to ask what that means? Any of my MS family heard of it? Thanks in advance 👍
