Epilepsy and other Seizure disorders Qualify for Medical Marijuana in Mississippi 

There are many unpleasant side effects those with Epilepsy or other seizure disorders face when using traditional forms of medication. These side effects include dizziness, low-quality sleep, memory loss, skin rashes, and more. Although there is still research being done to further prove medical marijuana’s effects on minimizing seizures in Epilepsy patients, it has shown much success thus far. CBD, or ‘cannabidiol’, is the second most prevalent of the active ingredients of cannabis and has shown as a very popular treatment option for Epilepsy patients. While CBD is a component of the cannabis plant, it is non-psychoactive. It will not leave epilepsy patients feeling ‘high’. CBD works with receptors in the body to minimize pain, inflammation, and anxiety. CBD also acts as an anticonvulsant, which is extremely important for patients considering getting their medical marijuana card to help treat their epilepsy diagnosis or other seizure disorder. 

Those who have experienced issues with other traditional forms of Epilepsy or seizure medication can find promising benefits from medical marijuana treatment as studies continue to show CBD’s power to reduce the number of seizures in epilepsy patients. 

Mississippi’s dispensaries will offer various CBD-dominant products such as tinctures, edibles, vape pens, and flower, to help patients find relief from epilepsy and other seizure disorders.
