CBD and Epilepsy

Position Statement from Canadian League Against Epilepsy (CLAE) on CBD and Epilepsy-November 2019

EAM would like to thank the Prince Edward Island Government for their support! Your aid helps us continue to support those living with epilepsy across PEI through education, seizure 1st aid training, advocacy, programs that support and empower those living with epilepsy, and so much more. It lets those living with epilepsy on PEI know they are not alone, that they are seen, heard, and that they matter. Thank you for helping make a difference in the lives of people living with epilepsy.
