I'm very glad to joing this community, my dear friends! Let me ask you a question. Is marijuana effective in treating epilepsy? Yesterday I read this article https://420-evaluations.com/treat-epileptic-seizure-medical-marijuana/ What do you think about it?

It has been tested for some time now and yes it does work for some people. There have been several articles regarding it for the past few years now.It depends on the type of epilepsy and type of seizures. If you really want information on this then y all means ask your neurologist they generally have more information especially if it is being tested. The group of neurologists I have been with is the group that does the studies on new medications. Doc and I talked about this before he retired july of 15
