      Have seen videos of that with a small girl.

      Would be nice if it was a cure instead of just a reduction.

      Epilepcy is horrible thing to have.

      Would be awesome to have a cure for many things Angel but sadly this is as good as medical science can manage at the minute, extracts from plants that have exosted for thousands of years and been illegal for almost 100 of those years.

        I know that.

        You can for a few, operate some part in the brain, but for some it more or less makes them zombies.

        I think it only work on certain kinds of epilepsy and that’s the ones caused by overactive brain activity.

        I don’t believe it works on epilepsy caused by tumores, but by all the information flourising on the internet atm, it might reduce tumors.

        I do agree, cannabis is good when used properly

        Actually this treatment is cannabudiol only so no psychoactive effect. Only medications with delta-9-THX get you stoned and it appears that the THC actually helps more than just CBD alone.

        Really it’s no different than people being smacked up on opiates for pain.

          I don’t think you perscribe opiates for epilepcy, but I might be wrong?

          I’m not much into drugs.

          No you prescribe opiates for pain but you produce a zombie, people who use cannabis for pain are far less fucked up than people using opiates. My point was while the treatment isn’t perfect, i6’s far better wiyth relatively few side effects.

            Thought the thread was about epilepsy.

            Sorry :rolleyes:

            It is, still about cannabis though 😉

            Or do we have an epilepsy section now lol.

              I’m not much into drugs.

              Plenty of other controlled substances are prescribed for epilepsy including many benzos and even in some cases barbiturates (which are very dangerous in overdose) – although usually those with very long half lifes which discourage diversion.

              In my country it does increasingly seem to result in younger patients increasingly being admitted to residential care homes 10km in the countryside (when they would rather live in town) and/or put in sheltered housing geared more towards seniors of age 80-100+ as much to comply with the controlled drugs “safety” rules as any valid medical reasons. Although some do also have other complex health issues and mobility problems those who don’t obviously look “ill” and/or have ever been out partying (like young people do, or used to..) often get accused of being junkies/scroungers and it led to the benefit cuts which got so bad one of the main politicians responsible actually quit this week (Ian Duncan Smith who is is apparently a Catholic, maybe the light of Jesus shone upon his bald head)
