It says that a certain chemical found in marijuana can actually help in treating patients with drug-resistant forms of epilepsy. This new study has provided evidence that marijuana can be effective in treatment for one-third of epilepsy patients who have a treatment-resistant form of the disease. The study titled "Cannabidiol in patients with treatment-resistant epilepsy: an open-label interventional trial" - published in The Lancet Neurology - says that almost one-third of epilepsy patients are treatment-resistant and are associated with severe morbidity and increased mortality. Though marijuana-based treatments for epilepsy have spiked the interest of the people, scientific data on the subject is very limited, feel the authors.
