Most of the parents still feel it's inappropriate to treat their children with this drug. CNN reports that, in Colorado's medical marijuana program, the average patient is 42 years old, and there are only 39 patients in the program that are under 18. Despite apprehension, there is evidence that in extreme cases cannabis can be useful to treat children.
Let's talk about the main case we want to share with you today. The little girl Charlotte Figi, now 10 years old, has Dravet syndrome, a rare, severe form of epilepsy.
#2 This case is very serious and she was experiencing 300 seizures per week like the one in the video you will see at the end of the post.

#2 Turning point for her treatment.
Charlotte's parents tried almost everything to relieve her of her seizures, but nothing worked. Then they saw a video on the internet of a boy who had been treated with marijuana.
#3 Finally they decided to use Marijuana.
At this moment Charlotte had lost the ability to eat, walk, and talk, so her parents and doctors decided to try a marijuana oil with low THC and high CBC. THC causes psychoactivity (what makes people feel "high"), while CBC carries medicinal properties.
