Epilepsy is a brain disorder with a variety of highly unpleasant symptoms such as seizures that can cause a loss of consciousness. The seizures may be triggered by various different things, such as stress, flashing bright lights, or even something as innocuous as missing a meal. Epilepsy can affect people at any age and there are millions of sufferers around the world.
At present there is no cure for epilepsy but many sufferers have found that cannabis can be used to treat the symptoms. There have even been high profile court cases that people with severe epilepsy have won, ensuring that they have access to medical cannabis or CBD. In general, it is cannabis strains that are high in CBD that may help with epilepsy, such as Charlotte’s Web, Ringo’s Gift and Sweet and Sour Widow.
