My daughter developed Petit mal seizures at the age of 7. At 9 she was having 50-60 seizures per day. If I would have known about the dangers of pharmaceuticals that were prescribed to her 15yrs ago. She would have been on a different regimen. One of the medications prescribed to her at the beginning of her treatment caused a severe reaction that if she continued to take would have killed her. She was lucky to have a reaction rather than just killing her. Which death can happen without the presence of a allergic reaction. Most people don't understand that the medications we give to epileptic children are extremely dangerous. With side effects that include death. Cannabis does not have any of those potential extreme side effects.
