a two-year-old girl was diagnosed with a very particular type
epilepsy it's known as intractable epilepsy and the reason why it's so
terrible as because
you can't treat it with conventional medicine so as a result
a when she was about three months old she started having the seizures
and they would last for hours and doctors had no idea what was going on it
wasn't until she was about two and a half years old
that they realize that she had this formidable FC and they couldn't really
do much to treat her
so she would have these seizures throughout the day
in fact her parents said that she would have up to 300 seizures a week
and as a result her brain %uh stop developing she
actually lost her ability to %uh speak
she lost her ability to walk on her own to eat and her body was just
deteriorating
so it was an absolute disaster prepares didn't know what to do
and then they found out that marijuana might actually be
a solution to this problem it was literally their last hope they tried
everything they even tried a very particular
high-protein low-carbohydrate diet that didn't work
I'm so what they did is they looked into a particular type of marijuana
it's low in thc which is the cycle active a part of the drug
and high in CBD that is a non psychoactive part the drug
that could actually help stop the seizures from epilepsy
and after they 12 a number of doctors they finally found 2 doctors that we're
willing to write the prescription
and thankfully in colorado you can use of marijuana for medicinal use
I mean they were able to and obviously recreational use now
and they were able to get this particular form a marijuana turn it into
an
oil so they can feet over with food and now
shem rarely has seizures it's amazing man
its unbelievable the number of stories we've gone about marijuana and how it's
almost like a miracle TriDef make and and of course the
you know the story that you brought us an hour about nixon was the one that
always sticks in my head
the Schaefer report right they do report Nexus as I find out for me what
marijuana's real properties are et cetera and what its affects our
and a republican that that the report comes thanks as the axis
I really that bad for you right invaded have some positive affects
this is like thanks love with her report president a fireplace
when he symbolically but literally shreds it and says no
nonsense yeah i'm italian everybody is bad for you they've been keeping this
drug away from us
for decades right number one
it's a fun recreational drug there's nothing wrong with it
alcohol's also recreational and as a lot more steam downsized number two what
I've been shot by
over the last couple years is how many positive affects it hurts I know I mean
this little girl who is now six years old her name is Charlotte by the way
is thriving in fact according to CNN today Charlotte 26
is and she's driving her seizures only happen two to three times per month
remember she would have the Caesars every day
and they would last 24 hours each I mean it's not devastating horse s ability
300 seizures a week I mean obviously that you bring the same time for
anything else
I'm you must have been wracked with pain
if you were there if your parents to you like my god
they do something to help my kids I wouldn't even funner marijuana thank God
they did
and the amazing part about this is %uh the mother in this story
page Fiji kept voting against legalizing marijuana or decriminalizing marijuana
and now
she realizes that there actually is a medicinal use and by the way
you know what I stated earlier in the story is very important its
low in the cycle active Part D drug
the THC high in CBD so it's not like this kid
is you know getting high throughout the day from this you know this
oil she is totally normal it just stops or seizures
and its incredible because for a very long time
we didn't allow scientists to do studies on it
so we were evil even able to prove the medicinal
properties up marijuana but now thankfully we can
win 7z this actual science it's amazing stuff
