Frequent cannabis use linked to more severe epilepsy
Original: Frequent cannabis use tied to more severe epilepsy
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine report that people who use cannabis frequently tend to have more severe epilepsy, according to findings covered by Medical Xpress and WashU Medicine. The work suggests regular cannabis use may be associated with worse seizure outcomes, a notable finding given growing interest in cannabis-based epilepsy treatments.
Why now: New research from WashU Medicine is being covered because it complicates the common assumption that cannabis helps people with epilepsy.
