Literature Review – Marijuana and Epilepsy

Is Medical Marijuana the Answer for Epilepsy?

This literature review is a summary of previous research done exploring the possible beneficial effects of marijuana as a treatment for epilepsy as well as any associated negative side effects. I completed this for a Professional Writing course and was valuable in learning the positive effects of marijuana, an topic that has recently become of interest for research. Additionally, I found this piece to be valuable because I have a lot of interest in the subject and the discovery of new treatments. This piece is lengthy, consisting of 18 pages. However, it is extremely informative and includes many stories and personal experiences, so I would highly recommend taking a look.

This piece showcases my ability to:

  • Find research articles using electronic databases
  • Summarize research articles and determine what information is valuable
  • Write for an academic setting
