Families In Wisconsin Push For Urgent Action On CBD Oil
A number of families, who have been struggling with epilepsy, in Wisconsin are pushing for changes to be made in regards to CBD oil criminalization there. They are hopeful that a new CBD oil bill will pass soon and that it will pave the way for individuals to get this much needed oil; hoping that it could provide them some potentially beneficial remedy for their illness.
Senators in Wisconsin recently heard from families who are eager for the bill to pass, with one of the most prominent advocates being a mother (Sally Schaeffer) who became even more passionate about the cause after her daughter died at the age of 7 from a rare disorder called Kleefstra syndrome, and she also suffered from autism and epilepsy. And there are plenty more like her not only in Wisconsin and around the US but also around the world.
Is it really better to let these children die than to let them consume some natural oil?
People are tired of the propaganda surrounding CBD oil and cannabis, and they want to see changes made so that people's natural rights aren't infringed upon. The fact that CBD oil isn't legalized is even more frustrating than cannabis prohibition, considering that you can get this oil so that it doesn't contain any THC and therefore doesn't offer the user any 'high' so there really is no reason to prevent someone from using it; not that there is legitimate reason to criminalize cannabis either.
Parents have seen children die before they got the chance to try CBD oil, and they don't want to see the same fate for children and other individuals who might be able to receive some benefit from this option of medicine. The bill if passed would make it legal to possess the oil with a doctors note.
The bill is expected to head to a vote in front of the full senate by next week, it's said that it might be as early as Thursday.
However, the state assembly allegedly won't be picking-up the bill until around March. The bill won't make changes as far as allowing for the manufacture or sale of the oil within the state however, just limited access so that those seeking a last resort to save their life won't be facing a threat of violence for doing so.

I'm also convinced that it will help with ADD. I wouldn't have made it through college without weed. It allows me to calm down my mind and think in a linear fashion (that's probably a terrible explanation). I'm shocked Wisconsin hasn't legalized it yet as many hippies that they have. I worked on a small "farm" there years ago. They even have their own strain there "Wisconsin Thunderf**k."
they need to get with the times !
Wisc. has always been a bastion of liberalism...I think of them as the Colorado of the mid-west. I went to college in Michigan and they have pot stores in Mt Pleasant. Blew my mind.
Good news it's time ! , thanks for sharing, upvoted, follow and resteemed

It's time to wake up for some people and understand that cannabis, especially one of its molecules (CBD) is much more efficient than chemical drugs to help people with epilepsy. How can we let people suffer because of the legislation, when there would be the possibility of helping them with natural substances without all the side effects of the drugs. Change must come !
Obama could have done something about this before he left with his tail between his legs but nope.
That's great ... up and resteemed***
Great post. Thanks! Please consider following my medical cannabis oil channel - we're growing and making it for family and friends.
Yea it is funny (seizures are not funny at all) seeing all these states trying to legalize CBD.......ah folks, hemp (same cannabis, just without THC) is 100% legal in all 50 states. The companies trying to corner the market and the pharmaceutical companies attempting to say cannabinoids are their property are consuming way too much THC cannabis. There are cannabinoids in hundreds of plants, including black pepper and human breast milk. It is an essential dietary food needed for our nervous system and to combat inflammation that some nerves are very sensitive to........hey, are you seeing a pattern here. Endocannabinoid Deficiency Syndrome is crazy common.
Our advice to epileptic folks is that you want to avoid the THC anyway since it can increase seizures. It is the CBD (same substance in hemp or marijuana), CBN and the whole slew of other non-psychoactive cannabinoids.
This is the best product we have come across and why we are promoting it: https://hempsweet.net/product/hemp-extract-cbd-oil-1500mg
or the >99% pure hemp CBD isolate and just make your own pills and save a ton of money. https://hempsweet.net/product-tag/cbd-isolate
Typical dose ranges from 200-400mg of CBD a day. Always start at the low dose and increase to the lowest effective dose to save money. The nice thing about our hemp CBD is we can ship it to any state in America and most places in the world. We take BTS, STEEM, DASH, Bitcoin or credit cards.
