Dad treating daughter's epilepsy with marijuana oil relieved by SCC ruling

Such an amazing story....cannibas - nature's medicine


"For Gwenevere, cannabis oil has been life-changing. Repetski says nine months ago, his daughter's seizures were so bad, the toddler could hardly function.

"She couldn't do much, she could barely sit on her own," Repetski told CTV's Canada AM Friday.

Brain scans showed that she was experiencing near-constant seizures at a sub-clinical level, meaning her brain was seizing even when there were no physical sign.

The family had tried eight anti-epileptic medications, but none controlled the seizures. Then Repetski read about cannabis oil and about how one of the chemical compounds in marijuana -- cannabidiol, or CBD -- can help control seizures without causing the typical marijuana high."

The study is promising:

They are administering Cannibus without the THC. It looks like this will in the future be a new medication controlled by a pharmaceutical company. So it will probably be very expensive and it should help lots of kids. Wait and see.
