What do you recommend for seizure disorder?


Hello and thank you for your question,
Cannabis is now very well known for it’s efficacy as an anti-epileptic medication. In fact, the walk in clinic I also work at receives several referrals from the neighboring Children’s Hospital for their seizure patients; I myself have treated patients as young as three.

The story that really put cannabis in the spotlight as an effective anti-epilectic was the story of Charlotte Figi, a beautiful child who was suffering from up to 300 grand mal seizure per week! She was eventually treated with a cbd oil which reduced her seizure frequency down to two to three times per month; that’s about a 99% improvement! That cbd oil that was eventually branded as Charlotte’s Web.

Therefore, I would recommend a cbd oil to ingest as daily prevention while also carrying a pen vaporizer loaded with a cbd cartridge to use if you experience an aura – i.e. a sensory warning that a seizure is about to occur. I recommend a vape pen in the above scenario since a vape pen is the quickest delivery method available. Therefore, when/if you experience an aura, you could hopefully get a dose in before the seizure starts.

A sativa cartridge for the vape pen would also be a good idea for any post-seizure nausea many patients experience. Sativas generally treat nausea more effectively than do the other forms of cannabis. Hope this helps!
