About Us: Cannabis Strains for Epilepsy
Our Journey and Mission
Founded in 2017, Cannabis Strains for Epilepsy is a dedicated online resource for individuals seeking reliable information about the use of cannabis as a treatment option for epilepsy. We embarked on this journey with a simple yet powerful vision: to shed light on the potential benefits of specific cannabis strains for managing seizures and improving the lives of those affected by epilepsy.
Our site was born out of a recognized gap in accessible, unbiased, and evidence-based content regarding cannabis as a therapeutic agent for neurological disorders. We aim to bridge this gap by providing an authoritative platform that educates, empowers, and connects people with valuable insights into the world of medical cannabis.
Our Story
The idea for this website stemmed from the personal experience of our co-founders, who witnessed the challenges faced by epilepsy patients in their search for effective treatment options. They recognized the growing interest in alternative therapies, especially within the medical cannabis community, and felt compelled to create a platform that offers evidence-based guidance.
Over the years, we have marked several milestones:
