Epilepsy is listed in Florida’s medical marijuana program. Eligibility and whether a treatment is appropriate require a qualified physician’s assessment; having seizures does not guarantee certification.
Prescription cannabidiol and retail CBD products are different. FDA-approved Epidiolex is used for seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet syndrome or tuberous sclerosis complex in patients aged one year and older. That approval does not extend to every CBD product or seizure disorder. Discuss your current medicines and treatment history with your physician rather than changing treatment based on this page.
