Cannabis could hold the key to treating epilepsy in children, according to new research.

The cannabis derivative cannabidiol was found to cut the frequency of seizures by 39 per cent for patients with Dravet syndrome - a rare, severe form of epilepsy - in the first large-scale clinical trial for the compound.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a compound in the cannabis plant that doesn't contain psychoactive properties that induce a high.

What is interesting about the above article is that it is from the UK's Daily Telegraph, which is a sizeable plank in main stream media that has never been a friend to cannabis.
