hi

ok this is a weird thing but ....someone asked for help/ info on weed oil for epileptic

i know a shit load where it comes to bi polar but this is something a little above me and wanted to make sure i was passing along the correct info to help the person

so i ask does anyone know of sites with info /research studies i tell tell this person to go too to read up on it
when i see them tomarrow i will tell what i know about CBDs and all but if there is something out there with hard medical work to it i like those URLs so they can read up on it and talk to doctor about it

it is medically allowed here just the rules are not written up about it

The Epilepsy Foundation runs this: epilepsy.com It's a good site with information on cannabis use:

There is a video at the site where it is said that THC and CBD treat sezures - However some people don't respond to the THC and can have worse effects... He also stated there is a great need for more research with humans - they have a lot already with animals.

Should a person with epilepsy pursue medical marijuana if all other medications do not work?
When conventional treatments do not work, as is the case for roughly 30% of people with epilepsy, it is not unreasonable to consider cannabis. This is why some states have approved it for “compassionate access.” However, this should only be considered after a thorough evaluation at a specialized epilepsy center and once conventional treatments (pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic) have been reasonably tried.

The Epilepsy Foundation urges anyone exploring any treatment for their epilepsy, as permitted under their state law, to work with their treating physician to make the best decisions for their own care.

What is the position of the Epilepsy Foundation on cannabis?
