The study – titled “Efficacy and Safety of Epidiolex (Cannabidiol) in Children and Young Adults With Treatment-Resistant Epilepsy” – was unveiled at the AES’s 70th annual meeting last month.

The study found that cannabidiol (CBD) was effective in reducing both the frequency and severity of seizures in both children and adults. It began in Philadelphia in 2014 with children from epilepsy treatment centers nationwide.
