Marijuana has several medicinal effects. Research hasn't been done on its use on seizures. It would give us a high when we get down from life because of our seizures.

Hi @lsittll, you'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about medical cannabis and seizures. I did this so you could join the discussion with @ckeys @crstyday40 @tree2fly and others.

The use of cannabis to treat epilepsy and other neurological conditions has been studied for a number of years. It has also been hotly debated.

Here's great, detailed information from the Epilepsy Foundation
- Medical Marijuana and Epilepsy https://www.epilepsy.com/learn/treating-seizures-and-epilepsy/other-treatment-approaches/medical-marijuana-and-epilepsy

And from the Mayo Clinic
- Mayo Clinic Q and A: Treatment with medical cannabis https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-treatment-with-medical-cannabis/

@lsittll, do you find cannabis helpful?
