What Are The Adverse Effects Of Cannabus Treatment For L.G.S?

Is there any adverse affects reported with cannabus treatment for L.G.S.? My grandauter ended up in the hospital with stephe johnson Syndrome we i almost lost her they put her on megadoses of Onfi, she was like a zombie no playin no smiling no talking, she became incotenent with blatter and bowels she couldn t remember what happened 15 minutes prior to our conversation. She would repeatedly ask who I was. So we winged her off of that than started the dahma oil with the high cbd cpount.no more seizures no more asking who I am. She is playing again eating, But with all these wonderful things that are happening for her are their any adverse effects I need to watch for?

first, marijuana doesn't necessarily work on seizures. It has not been systematically studied and it certainly makes them worse in some people with some seizures.
then, marijuana has been conclusively shown to lower IQ slightly if used a lot by a young person. Furthermore, there can be some addiction issues. Some people also have asthma like symptoms from it.
