I have grand mals, a chiari 1 malformation and been having them since 2011 when I was 17. Looking for info on trials. The seizures have been getting more annoying and I think the auras are happening more but not the seizures. I'm not sure.

Clinical trials on a pharmacy grade cannabadiol is being tested on certain forms of epilepsy that do not respond to standard seizure medications. Here is a section on cannabadiol in epilepsy that may help. For personal use, it's best to talk to your epilepsy specialist first. Cannabadiol doesn't work for everyone and there may be side effects. https://www.epilepsy.com/learn/treating-seizures-and-epilepsy/other-treatment-approaches/medical-marijuana-and-epilepsyhttp://advocacy.epilepsy.com/medical-cannabis
