As someone who had weekly migrane seizures during most of my teen life I can say for a fact that cannabis helps.
Since I started smoking regularly I haven't really had a migraine seizure and the rare times I get one I just smoke a joint and I don't vommit from the pain at all, which has been a real problem for me as my teeth has very serious acid damage from all the vomiting I did as a teen (Seizure 1-3 times a week where it was so painful I couldn't help but vommit)
And IIRC an association with seizure reduction (generally, not kids) was observed as early as the 1940's.
Blind, excessive, political criminalization kept this avenue officially closed in the U.S. for three quarters of a century. (Call it half a century, if you include those who started medicating and self-medicating despite the law.)
I'm not a recreational user. But I oppose stupidity and self-interest standing in the way of progress.

Impeachment really can't have happened to a more deserving fellow.
