“Epidemiologic evidence supporting antiseizure properties of cannabis is limited and controversial.
We determined the prevalence of marijuana use and its perceived effects in patients with and without epilepsy.
Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy or nonepileptic events had a high rate of marijuana use with associated perceived improvements in seizure control, stress, sleep, and drug side effects.
Stress reduction may contribute to the perceived impact of marijuana on seizures and nonepileptic events in adults.”
