RE: Indiana Family Suing CPS For The Freedom To Treat Their Daughter With CBD
I agree, it's madness. is the CBD oil the only thing that she is taking ?

Currently, yes. She suffers largely from absence seizures, where she just kind of zones out for 10 -20 seconds. They were always sporadic, but often enough that we felt something needed to be done. My wife argued with the doctors about having her try CBD before they finally "legalized" medical cannabis in NY 2-3 years ago. Even since then, most doctors were hesitant to prescribe it. They always wanted her to try the pharmaceutical stuff first, despite us pointing out the side effects (or lack thereof, in the case of CBD), even after the law changed. Finally went outside the system.
She is by no means cured, but we saw a marked difference shortly after starting her on a daily regiment. We've adjusted the dosages and finally found some doctors who were much more open to this option, so we're still figuring things out. She is in much better shape, though, which to us, obviously, is all that matters. My wife actually takes it, too, for pain issues related to Rheumatoid Arthritis, so we are huge proponents of CBD oil on principle and our strong anecdotal evidence.
