Medical Marijuana Proving Helpful in Treating Epileptic Children
Medical marijuana may be one of, if not the best medicine for children with epilepsy – though unfortunately studies are few and far between, given its federal illegality. Epilepsy is a severe disorder that leads to potentially hundreds of seizures a day, which often has a permanent effect on the psychological capability and welfare of those who have the disorder – it can also be intensely difficult for the parents, both financially and emotionally.
In a report published today by the Washington Post, a pair of families are examined which have found relief for their children through the use of medical marijuana, in one instance dropping one of the child’s seizure rates from 300-400 seizures a day, down to 0.

I think if they did more research into the positive effects instead of the negative effects they would discover a lot more benefits.

Not only awful for children. What about animals? I have a dog who is epileptic since Jan 2012. My dog is on human drugs. They don’t work as they should and in the last months we have changed the drugs twice with no better result. I have tod my vet that I will give my dog Cannabidiol if nothing else works. I would NOT hesitate and I strongly believe that it is the answer for many diseases, conditions, ill-health. Not only for epilepsy. Good to see tha there are so many positive uses.
