Reply to comment by p5eudo_nimh in Study: CBD Reduces Seizures That Are Resistant to Common Medications by BoundariesAreFun

I have a dog that's had pretty severe epilepsy for the last 7 years. We've had her on 5 different epilepsy drugs, and eventually settled on a specific mix that seems to work well for her.

We considered CBD, but a medical dosage of it is insanely expensive compared to traditional drugs. This article (and the paper's abstract) doesn't mention the doses used in this study.

If you live in a legal state, or Canada, go buy CBD oil from a dispensary. CBD oil is CBD oil.

How much does it cost there?

CBD oil typically costs $0.10 per mg doesn’t it?

Medicinal doses are about 2 mg per pound, twice per day. So for your 70 pound dog that’s a cool $800 a month. Too much money for us.

You can buy pure CBD crystals on many online stores for 10 dollars a gram or less. I do this and make my own oils for my dog and it makes it incredibly affordable.
