What effect does marijuana have on epilepsy?

The experimental type of treatment based on taking THC (tetra-hydrocannabiol) has a sedative effect, relaxes the muscles. It reduces the CAMP level (cyclic adenosine monophosphate), a mediator of the signals of certain hormones that are unable to pass the cell membrane (e.g., adrenaline) thus reducing the stress. This is very important for patients with epilepsy. Adrenaline causes the brain to “accelerate”, to be more active in the transmission of mediators and electrical impulses, encouraging the attack. In our section “Encyclopedia” (link) you can find a large amount of researches on this topic. Besides, we recommend that you read the “Great Miracle of a Little Man” material, which tells about a little girl whom medical cannabis helped to significantly reduce the number of seizures. This is a documented fact!
