Epilepsy Doctors Near West Palm Beach Approve of CBD Oil

Why local Epilepsy doctors near me are using CBD oil derived medications to treat seizures.

In 2018, a cannabis-derived medication called Epidiolex was approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat severe Epilepsy patients. Over the past year, more evidence shows that cannabinoids (CBD) have a profound effect on the receptors responsible for controlling seizures in human beings. The results are nothing short of spectacular and in some cases stopping seizures altogether. Although in most patients CBD oil reduces both the duration and intensity of seizures, and can reduce the number of them a patient has per day.

According to Dr Hind Kettani MD, a board-certified Epilepsy doctor in Florida, who specializes in patients suffering from seizures and neurological disorders, "CBD has many health benefits without causing intoxication".

Moreover, cannabidiol has been federally legalized with the passing of the Hemp Farm Bill in 2018, which broadly legalized industrial hemp. It requires that the amount of THC ( Marijuana's psychoactive component) be under .08%.

CBD Dispensaries In West Palm Beach

There are several medical marijuana dispensaries in West Palm Beach that approved patients can visit. Even though CBD oil is legal in Florida, the dispensaries can only sell to patients with valid MMJ cards.

All you need to do is schedule an appointment with a state-certified medical marijuana doctor, get a cannabis recommendation, pay the necessary fees, and get approved (about 20 days total.)

Then you can order the same CBD oil that doctors are recommending to patients, instead of some off brand, from a website you don't trust.

WPB Dispensaries;

  • Trulieve
  • Surterra
  • Curaleaf
  • Knox-Medical

Hopefully this helps clarify the process and the health benefits from CBD derived medicine in 2019.
