You can buy CBD supplements legally in all 50 states, classed as a dietary supplement. That is the stuff you want to procure.īest of luck and keep us updated on your results. In Colorado they have developed this strain of cannabis called Charlotte's Web (named after a little girl with E who was successfully treated with it). Since getting stoned has been the main reason for growing cannabis for so long, many modern plant strains are very low in CBD and high in TCH so you might be getting a good buzz but it wouldn't be helping you much neurologically speaking. The part that gets you stoned is the TCH but the part that has the medicinal properties is the CBD.Īnother factor in addition to what Nakamove mentioned above is weather or not you have access to a high CBD/low THC strain of cannabis. CBD, as you probably know, and THC are the two metabolites of cannabis. I've been taking CBD supplements with some very good results. I am working on getting a medical MJ card here in Hawaii but it is a long paperwork process (I just moved here). I have exclusively nocturnal seizure too. You can read about being proactive and keeping a seizure diary here: If those factors include your use of cannabis at different times during the evening, then the diary may shed some light on which time seems to be more effective. I recommend that you do so, and make note of what factors may be playing a role when your nocturnal seizures occur. As with any trigger or medication, keeping a seizure diary can potentially help identify what is helpful and what is not in terms of seizure control. Often seizures are the result of more than one factor in combination. It can also make a difference if you are taking any medications in addition to the cannabis, and if there are other factors like alcohol, dehydration or poor sleep or dietary habits that may be contributing. if you don't know what your individual reactions may be. If you have been self-medicating with cannabis, or are about to start, please proceed with caution, esp. And as with any powerful medication, taking it intermittently may also be problematic if you have a lowered seizure threshold. For some, cannabis might help reduce seizures, but for others it makes the the seizures worse or has no effect. Each person has different seizure patterns and triggers, and each person reacts differently to medications and psychoactive drugs. Are you about to start self-mediating with cannabis, or have you been doing so all along?Įither way, there's isn't a standard protocol for when to take cannabis for seizure control (especially since it is illegal for most of us).
