  1. How does the FDA have a patent on a natural substance? That isn't legal. Im not talking about giving the substance to someone with a medical condition that can benefit from it. Im all for that. Its just that when they say that companies cannot make money off of natural substances and now they're all of a sudden patenting it.

  2. You have to do whatever it takes to help your child. Don't let other people's negativity change anything about doing what's best in treating him with Dravet syndrome.
    I don't know if it happens but I'm just saying in general because he's not their son because he's yours and only yours.
    Do whatever it takes and I will always support your family even though I don't know who you are.
    You Go dad
    Keep it upšŸ’œšŸ’–šŸ’ÆšŸ˜ŽšŸ™šŸ¼

  3. I think itā€™s great he is helping his child, but there are other people who have epilepsy as an adult like myself who could benefit from using CBD and heā€™s saying he doesnā€™t advocate for the use other than children. Iā€™ve had it my whole life. Thereā€™s a lot more CBD can help with as well- PTSD, anxiety, arthritis, can slow Alzheimerā€™s Parkinsonā€™s and ALS, and much more. This isnā€™t just for the kids anymore.

  4. Them doctors should be jobless puting that kid on that many pills shocks me that retarded people are ok with 22 fucking pills but not mother fucking 2 3 drops of CBD oil

  5. IT'S REDICULOUS FOR THE BABY TO HAVE WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PILLS THEY'RE PUTTING OUT THERE SMH!!! I KNOW I HAVE SEIZURES BECAUSE OF INJURIES GIVEN GRACIOUSLY ME BY OTHERS WHEN I WAS A CHILD & THRU THE DECADES.. CAUSING TRAMA… GIVE THAT BABY RELIEF FROM THE DRUGS THEY'RE TRYIN TO SHOVEL DOWN HIM THAT DON'T WORK & CAUSE HARM!!! RELEASE HIM FROM HIS PAIN!!! YOU GO DADDY!!!!

  6. Does nobody see an alarming prob with our Dr.'s. The dont want to cure, the want to hook and keep. They have 45% of America on SSRI for going through a rough patch, not actual chemical imbalances. Amost all are then on for life. Its a busines model. Diff circumstances but same model. This kids Dr.s destroyed his mental aspect. They will say not to give at developing brain maryjuana, but provide them with 22 phycotic meds, and benzos for fuck sake. Its disturbing. They hook the kid on benzos, knowing no treatment or detox will risk ever detoxing a child that young, if it wasnt for the father, by the time he was a teen his benzo requirements would have been through the rough. it is well documented that nobody, zero, not one person should be prescribed benzos long term. it is supposed to be ysed short term, two weeks. kinda like oxycontin was for terminally ill stage 5 cancer patients to go out in comfort, instead dr.s would prescribe it to a 21 yr old who injured his knee and keep him on until he hits rock bottom and then kick him to the street with a full blown addiction. it would be easy to give another 50 examples of duff ways they run their business.

  7. The evidence is mounting!!!!!!! Why doesnt a group of us get together and do 60 minutes episode to explain the MEDICINAL power of this plant!!! Lets erase the stigma and put CBD (&cannabis) in its the proper light!!!

  8. I 100% agree with what he had to do. I ask everyone if this was you what would you do? drug the little boy up with every posible drug brewed up or a simple fix with no side effects? if you said you would do the first option then you are a cold heartless basterd

  9. time to remove the cancerous growth that we call government out of our lives…they work for US, not the other way around….vote all of them OUT of office and time for a revamp, an honest one…without corruption or lobbying ASAP!!!!!!!!

  10. The problem here is,that its a plant extract and can not be patened,so anyone can do it,thats why the pharma company's are against it,you can't patent something that grows naturally,thts why veggies are cheap and nobody has any rights to them.However,what they say now is that they are organic to put the price up!

  11. CBD oil at a minimum must be legalized right now. My son's Neurology Dr (sorry prepstarrhasaDEAcockinhismouth25) told us they're trialing CBD oil for another non-seizure disorder but not my son's. There is a medical need for this medicine, it's just there's too much DEA, GOV and Pharma money to lose if it's legalized. We want to at least try it to see if it stops my son's possibly terminal seizures. Our case is a ticking time bomb and any seizure could be life threatening. Prepstarr25 I'd hope would show some compassion and not be a D but these are the types of people holding us back from progress in this country. Modern medicine has failed our children in so many ways. Give us this treatment as an option. CBD is no more harmful than the side effects I've seen from the myriad of other drugs which are legal and prescribed and don't work to prevent seizures. Legalize NOW!!!

  12. On February 10th 2012 I brought my
    Dad to the emergency room with
    a splitting headache and projectile
    vomiting. We thought it was a bad
    migraine but later found out that it
    was a brain tumor. On February
    12th he had surgery and the surgeon
    told us and the lab work later
    confirmed that he had a
    Glioblastoma Multiforme IV. It is the
    most deadly and fast moving brain
    tumor you can have. The surgeon
    removed all of the tumor he could
    see. The doctor told our family that
    Tom had about 26 weeks to live if he
    didnā€™t take any radiation and if he
    did take radiation it might give him
    a year, we were told about RSH oil so
    we decided to try it, we got the oil on
    line through
    ricksimpsoncancercarecenter@gmail.com ,
    am glad to say that my dad is doing
    very fine and healthy.

  14. why are people so scared of marijuana?! even the reporters in this video were asking what the side effects were and even if there were any this is a natural plant from nature it's not a chemically derived substance that exists only for the last hundred years. Nature has all the healing properties you need in the form of plants and herbs and foods. how many people have died from marijuana including smoking it? How many people have died from alcohol and cigarettes? Really people the fact that people are calling this controversial is hilarious. It's obvious that plants heal and if the guy sees improvements in his Son what's the point in even asking what the negative side effects are? and the question about the kid being high that is nothing even if it were to happen compared to what the kid has been going through and no one has ever died from being high . Wow wake up world
