Hi All- I just received a request for information from my niece in Greece. She has a severely handicapped daughter who suffers from epilepsy and a result of being born with Aicardi syndrome (agenesis of the corpus callosum). She has seen a number of articles in the popular press which suggested that marijuana may be a useful treatment option. A brief look at the literature indicated that there wasn't a lot of substantive work out there e.g:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17609644 and http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/307/1/129.short However, there is also evidence in the literature that THC can CAUSE epilepsy: http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/1967-15598-001 I have, of course, told her that she should discuss this with her medical team before doing anything. In the meantime, I would appreciate any information from people who are more knowledgeable in this area. Thanks in advance, -Don. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
