🧠 What Is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a neurological condition where the brain sends out sudden bursts of electrical activity, causing seizures. These seizures can affect a person’s movements, awareness, and emotions. Some people live with frequent or severe seizures, even while taking prescribed medications.
🌿 How Medical Cannabis Can Help
Medical cannabis—especially a part of the plant called CBD (cannabidiol)—has been shown to help reduce seizures in some people with epilepsy. Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t make you feel high. Instead, it works with your body’s natural systems to calm brain activity.

A: Not always, but for some people—especially those with treatment-resistant epilepsy—it can make a big difference in reducing how often and how severe seizures are.
Q: Is it safe for children with epilepsy?
A: Yes, certain cannabis-based medications like Epidiolex (pure CBD) have been approved for pediatric use in specific epilepsy syndromes. Always consult a qualified provider.
