Cannabidiol and Epilepsy: Sifting, Winnowing and Buzz

Logo of epicurr

“Over the past few years there has been a phenomenal resurgence in the interest in the use of Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica for the treatment of epilepsy (among many other disorders as well). Clearly, the media and the proliferation of internet sites offering advice has fueled interest not only among patients and caregivers, but clinicians as well. Mainstream and social media interest in patient testimonials have, for better or worse, created a great deal of buzz. First, to the answer of does CBD provide benefit, the answer appears to be yes. With respect to safety perspective, CBD seemed to be well tolerated in most patients. At least we can finally say with some confidence to our patients, their families, and our colleagues, that there is more to this drug than media hype, and internet buzz.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4988076/
