BACKGROUND
Parents across the United States use medical cannabis for their children, often without professional guidance. These parents have become more expert on medical cannabis than most health professionals.
PURPOSE
Using a case-study design, this study was conducted to describe the experience of parents using medical cannabis for relief of seizures in their child or dependent.
METHODS
Data were subjected to qualitative content analysis for the identification of patterns and themes.
FINDINGS
Analysis of all data revealed seven themes including "Discovery of Cannabis as a Medication," "Guidance on Dosing," "Costs and Benefits of Cannabis," "Distrust of the Pharmaceutical Industry," "Federal Interference," "God and Cannabis," and "Changing Societal Perceptions about Medical Cannabis."
DISCUSSION
Themes revealed a complex, multifaceted experience. Many parents report benefit from medical cannabis, and are not hindered by the financial costs or uncertainties. Political and social influences have significant impact on the stigmatization and normalization of cannabis.
背景
全美各地的父母都在为孩子使用医用大麻，往往没有专业指导。这些父母在医用大麻方面比大多数医疗专业人员更有经验。
目的
本研究采用案例研究设计，旨在描述父母为缓解子女或受抚养者癫痫而使用医用大麻的体验。
方法
对所有数据进行定性内容分析，以识别模式和主题。
结果
对所有数据的分析揭示了七个主题，包括“发现大麻作为一种药物”、“剂量指导”、“大麻的成本和益处”、“对制药行业的不信任”、“联邦干预”、“大麻与上帝”和“医用大麻的社会观念变化”。
讨论
主题揭示了一种复杂的、多方面的体验。许多父母报告说医用大麻对他们有好处，而且不受经济成本或不确定性的影响。政治和社会影响对大麻的污名化和正常化有重大影响。
