Finding a qualified healthcare provider is the first step in determining if cannabis may be an effective treatment option for epilepsy. The best way to find a healthcare provider with experience treating epileptic patients with cannabis is to ask your primary care doctor or neurologist for recommendations.
Another option is to search online for local medical marijuana doctors and dispensaries that specialize in helping patients use cannabis as a form of treatment. You can also join support groups and forums dedicated to medical marijuana where members can provide information about local providers who are knowledgeable about this type of treatment.
You should contact the Cannabis Patients Alliance, which provides referrals to doctors that specialize in recommending medical marijuana for certain conditions like epilepsy. They can help you locate qualified healthcare providers in your area who have experience working with epileptic patients using cannabis-based treatments.
