Mother of Epileptic Son Praises Charlottes Web Strain of Marijuana

Another day… another inspirational story about marijuana’s CBD cannabinoid.


While marijuana is still called an illegal narcotic by every right wing crook on big Pharma’s payroll – marijuana continues demonstrating its medicinal ability to help children trapped in a seizure ridden body, allowing them to break free from a life of seizures, pain and unnecessary procedures. Allowing for many the first trace of normalcy their tiny lives have ever enjoyed.


Nine years of suffering can seem like a lifetime, particularly to Heather Jackson’s son – Zaki. Zaki’s painful and life-threatening epilepsy caused misery, and confusion with seemingly nonstop seizures. Leaving the little man incontinent and completely dependent on his mother. Fortunately for Zaki and his heroic mother – their situation improved drastically– thanks to medical marijuana and the CBD cannabinoids found in Charlotte’s Web.


According to the Huffington Post, That’s the name of a strain of medical marijuana being used to treat children with epilepsy. Jackson turned to the marijuana oil out of “sheer necessity” after countless attempts to help her son — which included 17 pharmaceuticals, craniosacral therapy and chiropractic adjustments, among others — failed to make a difference.


Zaki’s seizures started when he was 4 months old and completely took over his life.


“They spiraled out of control very quickly,” Jackson told HuffPost Live’s Ricky Camilleri. “He started with maybe a dozen seizures a day, and within several months he was having hundreds of seizures every day. And he lived that way for almost a decade.”


In July 2012, after no other treatments had made an impact, Jackson decided to try Charlotte’s Web, which has “literally put [Zaki's] condition into remission,” she said.


“He went 48 hours without a seizure immediately. Within three days he was pumping his legs on the swings, which is something I had tried to teach him for seven years,” Jackson said. “Within three months, he became seizure-free, and tomorrow he’ll be 14 months seizure-free.”

I can't believe this article. The federal gov. say's marijuana is a schedule 1 drug.

Schedule 1 drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Schedule I drugs are the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules.

" Within three days he was pumping his legs on the swings, which is something I had tried to teach him for seven years,” Jackson said."

The Cbd just helped him get it? think outside the box? made him just healthy enough overall to want to do it?

i think this is an aspect of this case that should be looked at more.

im gonna read some more on this one case and see what kind of shape the kid is in. seizures sometimes accompany the autism spectrum and if Charlotte's web helped a kid on the autism spectrum i think thats a monster breakthrough. alot of people out there could really use some help with something on the autism scale, hell I probably even fall somewhere on it.

soon my friends, soon. Stories like these are whats turning the tide, and changing peoples minds like my grandma's, I never thought I would see the day when my grandma approves and says we need to research the shit out of it, after seeing the CNN special. My aunt has MS and it has gotten really bad in the last few months, I want to approach her about it so bad.
