The medical marijuana oil study ongoing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham is showing near across-the-board reductions in seizures for its patients.

Dr. Jerzy Szaflarski, head of the Division of Epilepsy at UAB and one of the principal investigators in the CBD oil study known as Carly's Law, said about 90 percent of patients in the study have seen "some improvement."

It's the first time UAB has discussed early results of the study – believed to be the nation's largest on CBD oil -- that began last year.

And those results appear dramatic.

"We have noticed that at least 50 percent of the patients have more than 50 percent reduction in seizures, which is very nice," Szaflarski said in an interview with AL.com this week. "Some of these patients have multiple seizures per day. They report on CBD that they have days without seizures, which is great."

1. yes!

I sprained my elbow the other day, and my whole arm was aching. I finally broke down and took 2 aspirin but it still hurt quite a bit 2 hours later. Dug out the free sample i got from a dispensary and rubbed a few drops on, massaged it in and within 30 min it was working. Didnt hurt at all within an hour unless i tried to fully straighten it. 3 hours later completely pain free.
