Is It The CBD Or The THC That Controls Your Seizures?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I know I ask the most acquired and random questions lol. Its just that marijuana is the only thing that controls my seizures and the only part about it is I hate the high part. Im just wondering if I can find something that just has CBD in it if thats the part that controls our seizures.

Medical Marijuana
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello Everyone,

I would like to know if any of you use marijuana instead of medication. Do you feel stoned and unable to do your daily things? I was diagnosed with epilepsy November 2022. I have tried 5 different medications and now the Dr wants me to try another. I can not stand the way they make me feel!

Thank You,

Deana
