Medical Marijuana & Seizures

Seizures result from sudden, abnormal electrical activity in the brain and can range from brief lapses in awareness to full-body convulsions. For some patients, seizures remain difficult to control even with conventional medications.

CBD, a non-psychoactive component of medical marijuana, has become one of the most studied cannabinoids for seizure disorders. Research suggests it can help calm the overactive neuron signaling that triggers seizures, reducing their frequency in certain patients.

A certified physician can review a patient’s history and current treatments to determine whether medical cannabis may be a suitable addition to their seizure-management plan.
