Cannabis Derivative Cannabidiol Reduces Epilepsy Seizures

A cannabis derived medication reduced seizures in patients with a severe form of epilepsy, Dravet syndrome, a New England Journal of Medicine study found. Lead study author Dr. Orrin Devinsky, director of our Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, explains what this research means.

Sadly my doctor at KU has cannabidiol and does not want to prescribe it to me. He also told me that he does not believe in marijuana for his patients. Every dr should want the best for his or her patients health and not the worst. The 5000mg of medicine I take a day helps at a lower %rate my dr said. But I just had brain surgery to see where my seizures coming from in February 2020 and that is in my right temporal lobe. So now I continue taking my pills stand I buy 1000mg of cbd oil and I'm feeling a lot better. I'm happy I made a good choice in buying my cbd oil since summer of 2019 and not listening to my dr about getting RNS device implanted March of 2020. I could not stand leaving and abandoning my children to be in the hospital. But I am much happy and in better health thanks to CBD🙏🧠💜

Really wish after 16 years, 800 seizures, and happens every month. Tried EVERYTHING! My videos say it all… can’t live like this.

High humidity and low atmospheric pressure is the reason why people get seizures! I found out because my previous seizure was during when the hurricane and I googled it and found out. And you are in jolly old England or Pakistan with high humidity and low atmospheric pressure. Gotta move to Las Vegas, NV or Palm Springs, CA

It works better for many, many patients if you add a little THC and/or THCA.... And THCA is not psychoactive either (non decarboxylated form of THC) according to the parents who have been experimenting on their own (because their tired of waiting while their children suffer and even die). The current medications that are prescribed often cause these kids to look like zombies. What are you worried about with THC euphoria when those other drugs are far more debilitating and potentially harmful?

Is it effective in treating adult epilepsy?

Real News. Please. Learn and try to understand about the plant as a medication. I am not a trained professional or promoting cannabis use as a recreational drug. Ask your doctor.

Been suspecting this as a culprit for my recent fall resulting in five staples. Deadpool, ummmm, with my bad accident history that's long, I'm already surprised that I'm here. I've been literally hit by a lot of cars as a pedestrian. People are assholes, and that's why I'm literally looking into getting cameras all over the vehicle to catch all of those people literally swerving into my path while driving and at home. Cameras are so often Alicia's best friend. They are recorders, recorders that are rather friendly with computers and first responders. Personally, already have cameras literally everywhere. Throw stones, I'll throw boulders, and that includes the bible passages that are in those books coveting rape, murder, pedophilia. The shit frustrating societies everywhere.
