Thank you for your comment.
I invite you to continue to research cannabinoid use for epilepsy. You won't feel that it is risky or dangerous once you dig deeply into the available knowledge!
Research showing the anti-seizure properties of THC and CBD was done many decades ago, but covered up by the US government and big pharmaceutical corporations. In more recent times, universities all over the world have rediscovered this. You can see photos of 100+ year old bottles of cannabis tinctures, made by medical companies, for use with epilepsy!
My wife @MediKatie has done extensive research on this topic. Her and I are working on a documentary about cannabis use for epilepsy. We have dozens of great scientific studies about it. Maybe she will provide her opinion here too?
Additionally, her and I are activists who regularly attend cannabis farmers markets in the Vancouver area. Cannabis oils, edibles, tinctures, and other preparations are available, grown and made by local small family businesses and artisans. Patients come from all around, even across the US border, to buy the high quality cannabis extracts and edibles. Once, police tried to stop the market, and a customer spoke up on behalf of the entire market, telling police that cannabis she buys there is saving her life. She has MS and epilepsy, and the cannabis is the ONLY thing that stops her seizures, without the horrible side effects of benzodiazapenes and other addictive pharmaceuticals. There is no legal source of the medicine she required. I have footage of that event here.
My understanding is that cannbinoids are a potential treatment/prevention of most types of seizures, and is safe for use in almost all people including children and the elderly. Many people who had dozens of seizures per day, are down to no seizures for many weeks in a row, solely because of cannabis. Some patients need a little other medication on top of the cannabis, but it is FAR less than they would otherwise have required.
Please do look into the studies on this, and listen to patients tell their story about it, like on YouTube. Cannabis is saving and improving millions of lives from epilepsy right now.
All the best to you.
