MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR EPILEPSY

Epilepsy is a disorder where the brain experiences a sudden, temporary change in its functioning, which causes seizures. People afflicted with this can have their lives disrupted, as there is the potential for a seizure to occur at any time. Therefore, some patients are unable to drive or even bathe without supervision. 

Medical marijuana can potentially help epilepsy patients control their symptoms.

The most effective strains of medical marijuana in treating epilepsy tend to be those that are high in cannabidiol, or CBD, and low in THC, which is what gives you a “high” feeling. This way, the patient receives the seizure reduction that the CBD provides without the possible side effects of anxiety and paranoia associated with THC.
