Cannabis has a rich history as a medicine to control seizures that goes back thousands of years. In the middle of the 19th century, in the US Pharmacopoeia. A tincture of Cannabis appears as a treatment for pediatric epilepsy and subsequent scientific studies have documented the anticonvulsant effects of CBD, THC and the entire Cannabis plant.
Cannabis strains with high CBD and low THC and oil extracts can dramatically improve some children with intractable seizures. Between 10 and 15 percent of children with severe epilepsies receiving oil with CBD experience an almost total cessation of seizures; most improve (with a decrease CBD Gummies, but not total elimination of crises); and some children have worse seizures when they take CBD.
