Frequent cannabis use linked to more severe epilepsy
Original: Frequent cannabis use tied to more severe epilepsy
Researchers at WashU Medicine report that people who use cannabis frequently tend to have more severe epilepsy, with the findings also covered by Medical Xpress. The study suggests heavy cannabis use is associated with worse seizure outcomes, a notable result given growing legalization and widespread assumptions that cannabis helps neurological conditions.
Why now: New research challenges the common belief that cannabis is beneficial for neurological disorders, prompting debate among patients and clinicians.
