Seizures after stroke

No it is habit forming and the doctor gives us anti seizure tablets and way if needed . Why pay for that oil junk when the tablets are a lot cheaper . Yes the tablets work and am not wasting my money on something that doesn't work .

Hi Georg,

 StrokeLine would always advise when considering whether to use marijuana or cannabis oil after a stroke, it is essential to consult with your healthcare provider or GP for individualised advice.  Research on the effects of cannabis and cannabis oil post-stroke is still developing.

The relationship between full-spectrum cannabis oil (or CBD and THC products) and stroke risk is complex and not fully understood, especially in stroke survivors. While some studies suggest that cannabis compounds may have neuroprotective effects, others raise concerns about their impact on cardiovascular health, which could be a concern for those with a history of stroke.

It is always best to consult with your treating health professional to make an informed decision based on your individual health needs and circumstances.
