Sharon Stone Explains Why She Stopped Using Cannabis for Seizure Management

Actress Sharon Stone, who used cannabis for years to manage seizures following a stroke, has spoken publicly about discontinuing the treatment due to concerns about additives in modern cannabis products. Stone reports experiencing illness after quitting and claims her neurologist has witnessed serious adverse effects. While anecdotal accounts warrant attention, medical research on cannabis for seizure management—particularly cannabidiol (CBD) for epilepsy—shows established therapeutic benefits when properly formulated and dosed. This case highlights the importance of medical-grade cannabis products with third-party testing and professional neurological supervision for patients using cannabis therapeutically.
