DENVER (CBS4) – The chairman of the board of the Epilepsy Foundation is fighting for access to marijuana oil on a national level.
Desperate families are moving to Colorado in search of relief for their children’s seizures.
“Charlotte’s Web” is a strain of marijuana grown in Colorado that is named for Charlotte Figi.
Charlotte and others with severe epilepsy have found relief from seizures by ingesting the plant’s oil. It is marijuana that is low in THC but rich in cannabidiol or CBD.
“There is enough evidence to suggest we should really try and study this,” said father Warren Lammert.
His daughter, Sylvie, had her first seizure at 9 months old.
