How Can Epilepsy Be Treated?

My 32 year old son was diagnosed with rt.frontal lobe epilepsy nearly 20 yrs. ago. The majority
occur at night. Seldom during the day, however I do feel he experiences Petit Mal at times during
the day. He takes Keppra and Lamictal. He has never been totally free. Would Cannabis be a
consideration for him, if so, where in Portland, OR can I find a doctor who will work with us? Thank you.
