This newsletter explores cannabinoid applications in the treatment of epilepsy. Currently, there is significant evidence supporting medical cannabis as an adjunctive solution in epilepsy aside other treatments, however, there remains a paucity for research that proves cannabinoid-based therapies to be both independent and sustainable solutions to this disorder.
