if we really truly want to get the full benefit of cannabis, there s just so much more out there than cbd. it really got us wondering, at this time with all the attention on cbd, what about the rest of the plant? remember, cannabis is made up of at least 60 potentially therapeutic chemicals called canha bah noids. i think the cbd thing did do damage to the progress of full spectrum cannabis being taken as serious as cbd is. thc has been demonized once again. this word non-psychoactive has gotten to lawmakers and everyone s heads. so now it s an erroneous thought to think that cbd only is the silver bullet. it s not. she s happy and outside. this is her jam. and while cbd has certainly saved the life of this little girl, patient zero for the cbd
2014. we came out here for cbd and you want to believe that it s going to be the cure. is this her? yes. i m excited to see her. 2019 when we arrived back in denver to see the wilsons again we quickly learned that vivian had tried many different kinds of cbd, and none of them had been a cure. how are you? we moved two-thirds of the way across the country for cbd which is like something that you can buy in your butter now. is it all good? i don t think so. i think there s a lot of misinformation. what cha doing here? turns out vivian s experience with what seemed to work miracles for some was not miraculous for her. we saw this like initial improvement and things were good. the more we were increasing her cbd, the more seizures she started having at night up to like 40 a night. and we just couldn t figure out what it was. there s no evidence that cbd caused these seizures, but clearly it was no longer working for her. it wasn t the benefit that
harder about this than what we currently are. gw is hoping to develop more cbd and cannabis-based drugs for everything from anxiety to autism. and many others are trying as well. that s what we want, cbd for fda as a medicine. mount sinai s dr. jasmine herd has been helping develop products to address one of the most concerning issues of our time, the opioid epidemic. do i think that it can help everything in society? no. do i think it s a wonder drug? no. but do i think that it can alleviate certain disorders? absolutely. and that s why we need to find out. through research, which for years had been near impossible. the farm bill now allows us to work with hemp-derived cbd. that has been extremely helpful. or else we would have never been

craze did you ever think you would be doing this? never. i never thought i would be biking with her at 12 years old. paige is hopeful that charlotte s story doesn t represent the end of the cannabis plant but just the beginning. didn t really want to talk about the future last time. but how about now? i have my hopes that we ll have just so much more data and research to pull from. just because charlotte uses a high cbd hemp, that doesn t mean thc is the devil. there s no question cannabis and cbd can be a medicine. it s a plant that can heal sometimes when nothing else has. let s do a little gardening here. we have seen the stories. we have unearthed the research. what do we have here? it deserves the respect of any medicine and the regulation. it should come with the promise that while it may not always help, it should certainly never
