Quacks?

 the American Epilepsy Society (AES) – has now announced, that a study it supervised has proven that marijuana is an effective cure for seizures, especially in children. The AES has accepted the study in its online journal.

"a medical charity in Illinois – the American Epilepsy Society (AES) – has now announced, that a study it supervised has proven that marijuana is an effective cure for seizures, especially in children."

The American Epilepsy Society (AES) is a small group in Chicago. It is NOT to be confused with the national Epilepsy Foundation.

This local group did their study using Epidiolex, a CBD product from GW Pharma, NOT marijuana.

The National Epilepsy Foundation is the largest nonprofit organization in the United States working to “ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences; and to prevent, control and cure epilepsy through research, education, advocacy and services.” The foundation was formed in 1967.

Yes, you and yours sources are quacks.

The study was not of marijuana. The drug Epidiolex contains canabidiol, a non-psychoactive component of marijuana, as your link makes clear.

Efficacy and Safety of Epidiolex (Cannabidiol) in Children and Young Adults with Treatment-Resistant Epilepsy: Update from the Expanded Access Program
Authors: Orrin Devinsky, Elizabeth Thiele, Linda Laux, Daniel Friedman, Anup Patel, Judith Bluvstein, Michael Chez, Charuta Joshi, Roberta Cilio, Francis Filloux, Evan Fertig, Angus Wilfong, Paul D. Lyons, Yong Park, Robert Flamini, Matthew Wong, Ian Miller, Eric Marsh

Content:

Rationale: Cannabidiol (CBD) is the most abundant non-psychoactive cannabinoid in the cannabis plant. Animal studies demonstrate anticonvulsant efficacy in multiple species and models. Anecdotal reports suggest efficacy in children with treatment-resistant epilepsies (TRE), including Dravet Syndrome (DS) and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). We report current results in our expanded access treatment program.

[...]

Conclusions: These results from an uncontrolled study support the animal studies and prior reports showing that CBD may be a promising treatment for TRE and it is generally well-tolerated in doses up to 25mg/kg/day. Epidiolex is now being investigated in randomized controlled studies in DS and LGS.

Marijuana-Based Drug Found to Reduce Epileptic Seizures

By Andrew Pollack
NYT
March 14, 2016

An experimental drug derived from marijuana has succeeded in reducing epileptic seizures in its first major clinical trial, the product’s developer announced on Monday, a finding that could lend credence to the medical marijuana movement.

The developer, GW Pharmaceuticals, said the drug, Epidiolex, achieved the main goal of the trial, reducing convulsive seizures when compared with a placebo in patients with Dravet syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy. GW shares more than doubled on Monday.

If Epidiolex wins regulatory approval, it would be the first prescription drug in the United States that is extracted from marijuana. The drug is a liquid containing cannabidiol, a component of marijuana that does not make people high.

[...]

Analysts expect Epidiolex to cost $2,500 to $5,000 a month, which would be more expensive than some of the medical marijuana products, which cost from about $100 to more than $1,000 per month. However, Epidiolex might be covered by insurance, unlike the other products.

Can Cannabis Treat Epileptic Seizures?

New evidence suggests that a chemical derived from marijuana may be an effective treatment for patients with drug-resistant forms of epilepsy

By Diana Kwon on January 22, 2016
Scientific American

[excerpts]

Last month Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist at New York University Langone Medical Center, and his colleagues across multiple research centers published the results from the largest study to date of a cannabis-based drug for treatment-resistant epilepsy in The Lancet Neurology. The researchers treated 162 patients with an extract of 99 percent cannabidiol (CBD), a nonpsychoactive chemical in marijuana, and monitored them for 12 weeks. This treatment was given as an add-on to the patients’ existing medications and the trial was open-label (everyone knew what they were getting).

The researchers reported the intervention reduced motor seizures at a rate similar to existing drugs (a median of 36.5 percent) and 2 percent of patients became completely seizure free. Additionally, 79 percent of patients reported adverse effects such as sleepiness, diarrhea and fatigue, although only 3 percent dropped out of the study due to adverse events. “I was a little surprised that the overall number of side effects was quite high but it seems like most of them were not enough that the patients had to come off the medication,” says Kevin Chapman, a neurology and pediatric professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine who was not involved in the study.

[...]

The other major issue is the possibility of drug interactions—because CBD is a potent liver enzyme inhibitor it can increase the concentration of other drugs in the body. This means that when administered with other compounds, consequent effects on patients may be due to the increased exposure to those other drugs rather than the CBD itself.

Despite these limitations, both commentary authors agree the study is an important step in establishing CBD as a safe and effective epilepsy treatment. “This is a first step, and it's great,” Detyniecki says. Despite the large number of adverse events, he says that overall “there were no surprising side effects—we can conclude that CBD appears to be safe in the short term.”

Good grief! Ratchet mouth returns...

Epidiolex is 100% plant derived, from Cannabis. It's hash oil, maryjane reefer madness!

Patients received a highly standardized pharmaceutical plant-derived, purified CBD. (Epidiolex: GW Pharma), at a gradually increasing dose from 2-5 mg/kg/day until intolerance occurred or a maximum dose of 25 mg/kg/day was achieved.

Epidiolex is 100% plant derived

Nightshade, belladonna, hemlock, oleander, and ricin (from castor beans) are also plants or plant substances. Being a plant, or derived from a plant, does not signify safety or suitability for medical use.

from Cannabis. It's hash oil, maryjane reefer madness!

That's ignorance, simple madness!

Cannabidiol contains no psychotropic substance. Hash is very significantly stronger than marijuana re THC content.

Cannabidiol is most definitely not hash oil.

Epidiolex is 99.9% pure cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive substance, approved for testing.

Nightshade, belladonna, hemlock, oleander, and ricin (from castor beans) are also plants or plant substances. Being a plant, or derived from a plant, does not signify safety or suitability for medical use.

Thank you!

"Epidiolex is 100% plant derived, from Cannabis. It's hash oil, maryjane reefer madness!"

Epidiolex is a cannabinoid found in marijuana. It is extracted, purified and concentrated into an effective dose.

To imply that a patient could get the same benefit from raw marijuana is irresponsible and something I would expect from those using the sick and dying as pawns in their quest for legalization for recreational use.
