Reasons of Migraines• Certain foods: More than ever

chocolate, cheese, nuts, alcohol, and monosodium glutamate (MSG) can generate migraines. Missing a meal may also get on a headache.

• Stress and tension are also risk factors

• Birth control pills are a common trigger: Women may have migraines at the end of the pill cycle as the estrogen module of the pill is clogged. This is called an estrogen-withdrawal headache.

Proof of Marijuana use for Migraines

• Medical Cannabis was a standard treatment for migraines from the mid-19th century until it was outlawed in the early 20th century in the USA. It has been reported to help people through an attack by relieving the nausea and dulling the head pain, as well as possibly preventing the headache completely when used as soon as possible after the onset of pre-migraine symptoms, such as aura. There is some indication that semi-regular use may reduce the frequency of attacks.- Wikipedia (Prevention of Migraines)
