2. Charlotte Figi: Treating Dravet & Doose Syndrome with Cannabis Oil

Charlotte is the miniature miracle who suffered from an untreatable form of epilepsy and used medical marijuana to treat herself. By the time she was two years old, her parents had literally tried all medications to treat her, but failed miserably. Enduring some 40 seizures a night, her parents managed to get her a medical marijuana card in Colorado. Charlotte was the first child in Colorado to be treated with cannabis oil, and her story inspired the name “Charlotte’s Web” which is the high-cannabidiol, low-THC strain used to treat other children with similar conditions. Today, Charlotte, now seven, is like any other child. She is 99% seizure free, suffering usually one seizure a month which is easily under control after a few minutes. She can walk, talk, feed herself, has a normal sleep cycle, and she has not taken prescription medication in two years. Charlotte has since featured on a CNN documentary, documenting her miraculous story.
