Thank you,my husband had a stroke and became an epileptic,long story short,fell in to a coma last July 5 weeks,when he woke he was about 5 tears old , and.he’s 67,now,the cannabis helped save his life!!!! And is repairing his brain damage 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Cuddles from Canada 🌼🌼🌺🌸🇬🇧🇨🇦M
Children are not the only ones in need of this work. I am 53 and have been a diagnosed epileptic for 40 of those years. Just Getting a job is a big problem.
It worked for me !!! I had epilepsy three times weekly when I was in elementary school. After smoking cannabis they completely stopped and this changed my life.
This video literally saved my life and life of my daughter!! After having two years of seizures - she is finally healthy (after only 2 month of taking CBD), without any side effects or whatever was caused by pharmaceuticals AEDs. Thank you!!!
Rest in Peace Little Charlotte Figi.. You made great strides in improving the world.. Your love of pink, and ballet dancing in the kitchen.. We all love you and will miss you.. Sleep peacefully little darling.
This is extraordinary. I hope this country wakes up, and wakes up soon, to realize that Cannabis is not a schedule 1 narcotic, never should have been labeled as such.
Thank you little girl - and your family. RIP. What I began to learn from your episode with Sanjay Gupta started me down a path that changed my life over time. A tea made from the crushed leaves of high CBD cannabis has had a miraculous effect on my arthritis, and my life long insomnia. The world owes you and your family.
The Stanley's and Figi's have made it possible for my son to get better. I can't thank them enough for offering to help us at the Realm of Caring. I think the more they get this information out there the better. CBD is helping these children and I love being here in Colorado. We had to move from WV to get help. Sad...federal laws need to change soon!
Yes!..and the rest of the world to...especially in NZ, where our laws here threaten you with forfeiture of your livelihood...first offence with cannabis (small amounts) is diversion...after that, you're basically a full blown criminal in the eyes of the law!...regardless of the amounts of cannabis..pathetic!
Today, April 8th, 2020 . . . we are saddened by the passing of Charlotte Figi. Her strength has empowered millions around the globe to think for themselves and go beyond the restrictive, outdated laws that limited healthcare & wellness. We will surely miss her happy spirit. Please send her family positivity, as they need our deepest gratitude, love, and prayers. Thank you, dear Charlotte . . . we will be forever mindful of your beauty & strength. RIPCF

Your speech was moving josh. i have been watching your videos and keeping up with how you guys made it in your country. and i think your guys are hero`s, not just your way of growing it but thinking outside of the box. im really glad to have people like you in this world. i just hope norway soon will understand the help that can be found in the cannabis. and all this come`s from a 18 year old "dude" from norway. thank you for doing the right thing.
The Stanley brothers are the real OGs of medical marijuana. This was six years ago, and today CBD is so normalised and socially acceptable for therapeutic use. Charlotte passed away 5 months ago, but her legacy will live on for generations. She really changed the world.
Every single thing on this planet has an Equal and Mother Nature has seen to that by creating this beautiful plant ( along with many other of Mother Natures own remedies) It wasn't man made it was put here by Mother Nature for one specific reason and that was to heal ourselves but greed has stolen so much of natures remedies away from us, They talk about the seven wonders of the world this should be Number One & that's all i have to say about that.
Though, good people aren't necessarily God fearing people. Especially scientists. By both, you mean God and Science? Can't thank something that doesn't exist. These people did good because they know what it is to do good and more often than not know how it's like to have it bad. Hence, empathy.

Saw the comment and found myself feeling the same. Just want to say good luck my friend and if need some support or anything cannabis related I have it four years studying. Current grower, consultant for other growers.
CBD is Legal in your state! It's legal in every state! You can order it right to your front porch!! You may be thinking of just regular Cannibis being legal.
As a parent of a 18 month old baby who has uncontrollable epilepsy, we are suffering this nightmare of trying all 'legalized' drugs and diets to no effect. Our Child has 25+ fits per day and things are getting worse. This video has not only made be cry at work it has given me some faint hope for the future.
Ben Maybe there is something in this article that may be of help. Blessings to you and your family www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/31/cannabis-for-children_n_4697135.html
In three years, my husband and I are planning to move to Colorado. We plan to 'rent' rooms to parents like you so that you have the opportunity to save your children.
Ben Hilton I'm saying prayers for you and your family, Ben. I've been through it, too. My son is a grown man, and he still has seizures. He takes Kepra, which controls the seizures better than anything else, but he recently had a breakthrough seizure while I was visiting with him and his sisters. No parent wants to see their child suffer, no matter what age he or she is. That familiar feeling of complete helplessness and terror because you can't do anything to stop the seizures is...well, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Our 5 year old daughter has epilepsy, and was having seizures every 4 minutes according to her EEG. Her neurologist prescribed Zarontin, but we didn't feel comfortable going that route. A family member/RN suggested we look into studies being done on CBD, and we ran across Charlotte's Web. She had her first bottle this summer, and we noticed a difference overnight! She wasn't dazed and was back to the "pre-seizure" daughter we knew. She has been great ever since! Her teacher told us she (like us) noticed that she rarely has seizures, and to keep doing whatever we're doing. Thank you, Stanley Brothers!
Just found this particular brand in Arkansas I’m so thrilled! God Bless the Stanley Brother’s and the realm of caring organization! Praying legislation is passed so that everyone can be able to use this wonderful medicinal plant.
One of the best talks I've ever seen. Very moving. The stigma/taboo & myths around Cannabis, need to stop. I'm exhausted with all the pills being handed out like candy and then controlled, and the medical community (doctors, hospitals) drug testing for marijuana on patients that should be using marijuana. Meanwhile, medicines that don't work, being changed repeatedly and the patients not having any improvement because cannabis is NEVER even suggested. Things must change, and access to it should also. Thank you for being so incredibly frank and passionate to find something that works for so many people and hopefully the world SOON. (Just have to put all of our voices together so we are ALL heard over FDA & other groups that are trying to keep people from the freedom to choose.)
If this little girl, and her family doesn’t warm your heart, and convince you that Marijuana should be removed from Schedule 1, you are a heartless monster and should be forever shunned by the rest of humanity. The fact that people actually go to jail for doing everything they can to alleviate the suffering of these little ones, truly sickens me and shows that not only are there monsters in our midst, but that it's these ghouls that actually rule the world. This is not a “conspiracy theory” and you don't need to where “a tin foil hat” to see that this is not right. I’m sure there is a special level in hell for people that can justify their beliefs that “these hippies just want to get high” and who cares about a “bunch of stoners anyway“, while at the same time there popping every pill the doctor says they need, and washing them down with alcohol, because it‘s legal to do so. May God have mercy on your wretched souls.
Medical Marijuana can be helpful to so many people with various conditions, but legalizing it comes with so many issues. So many people would make fake conditions to gain access to “medical” marijuana. Even though the legalization is for medical, recreational users will always find a way to get around this. That being said, your comment that people who don’t support legal medical marijuana are horrible people is overdramatic. Many people who don’t support it feel that way because of the people who would abuse it. In this video, one case is examined and if that is expected to be enough for people to change their minds that’s wrong. Yes, it’s a very touching story, but no, not all stories end up this way. Using the story of a sweet young girl and her family is a manipulation tactic used by the person telling the story. When people see a sick child get better, their immediate response is to support whatever made this possible. This however, is not enough information to change someone’s mind about an issue that is so important.
But Emily, haven't you heard him saying that they were able to isolate the THC (the thing that actually makes you stoned)? If this gets regulated, people that need it can have access to MJ that is not only not a drug, but also a powerful medicine.
Emily Fauser Except that there isn't just one case and that was made clear during his talk. Also, CBD doesn't get you high, what would he have to gain from "manipulating" people into using it? He developed the strain Charlotte's Web specifically for her condition, this isn't just regular cannabis that people are smoking recreationally.
What a great talk, and a very touching subject at that! Marijuana is quite taboo, due to all the misunderstanding and people being raised to believe it's bad. We just need to abandon all preconceptions and assumptions, seeing it for what it is.
Knowledge, Understanding and Love. The time has come for the truth to be lit up!! A grateful heart for the part that Josh and his family are playing on are healing journey. Blessings of Love and Peace to us All!!
Love this video! Thanks so much for all your hard work. I'm praying it will legal everywhere soon. My 8 year old son was having more than 20 seizures a day, but responded well to his prescription meds. I would still switch to this if it were available, since his meds make him dizzy almost all day.
I have epilepsy too. Definitely not as torturous as Charlotte’s but I’m going to take the leap of faith and ask my doctor about cannabis, instead of the drugs I take now.
wolfflow I don't believe in any god, but I was saying the same thing. God bless this man! He's fucking awesome. What a great person - he and his brothers. :)
impreprex1979 *Bless this man. As for god, there are many things that we do not understand about the universe but trying to define it's source based on a few books is ridiculous.
My cousin had the same diseases and she passed away last year ,it was very painful watching her suffer . I think we could have saved her if we knew about this medication earlier. Its time that the laws against Cannabis should be rewritten.
Fantastic people doing fantastic and inspiring work. Thank you Josh and your family for having the courage to put your own freedom on the line to reach out. Thanks Dr. Gupta for helping get the word out too.
Compassionate caring people! Thankful for those who educate others. There are so many people waiting. So many states with people suffering and dying while waiting. Prohibition must stop now. States are moving forward and that's a wonderful thing but then again there are states such as AL with governor Bentley who has said flat out NO! This is absurd. He is also a Physician. What are the people to do? Frustrated and Sad. Thank you Josh Stanley! Thanks to your brothers as well. The world needs more humanitarians like you.
@John Sabp There are very few "medical journal articles'" because no one will fund research for a federally illegal substance. Don't believe everything you think.
@@notyrmom5698 Watch Dr. Robert Lustig a pediatric euprhologist that is going around the USA speaking to Medical schools about how processed food and sugar is killing Americans and causing CVD, diabetes, Alzheimers, strokes, et cetera. He used to teach at Harvard. Watch Dr. Suzanne Humphries that quit her large medical practice because her conscience would not allow her anymore be just pill pushing disease technician. And then look up the world's two times only recipient, the Nobel Peace Prize, unshared by anyone else. Dr. Linus Pauling and the vital importance of vitamin C. Also look up Dr. Jason Fung, a neurologist, I think, that also discredits pill pushing doctors. Fascinating, hopeful and makes you mad at every Luddite pill pushing quack doctor you ever had. Prayers for wonderful results.
@@sylviac.6778 Thank you so very much. I am grateful! I am seeing more and more people beginning to realize that we have choices. It gives me great hope. Best to you and yours.
The funny thing is, the question: "we're gonna give a 5 year old cannabis!?", is probably a legit question that would raise much debate and concern. But if a doctor says that they are going to place her on any of the 15 meds she was currently on... no red flags. Wake up people! I hate to use the word but most American's, and people in general seriously are sheeple.
Im not sure why we need to point out that it makes you less high than other strains, as being high from cannabis is probably more beneficial for society as it would stop war and make people happier and less worry and stress. Thats why its called being 'high' because you are on a higher vibration which means positivity not negativity.
Well done to all the parents that are willing to try whatever it takes to help their child and in doing so help many other parents make more informed choices. Peace,love and CURE
My husband has diabetes 1 he has been in so much pain since we found out that Charlotte web can ease out the pain yes it has his pain was 10 everyday he is on 2week taking it has gone down to a 3 pain and really believe this will help plenty of people may GOD bless Brother
Long needed and greatly appreciated. We may never know the full extent to which marijuana can help people unless and until it quits being treated as a "hippy" drug. Legalization, taxation, regulation and proper controls on growth and production are necessary. Why shouldn't we have ALL healing products available?
It is the ONLY thing that has ever effectively managed my Crohn's Disease and associated Pancreatitis, amongst other debilitating symptoms typically experienced daily. I am able to function, help others, and enjoy my life, I otherwise would find impossible to partake in. I will do what is necessary to vote in support of and pray all who medically can benefit, will have access to it"s relief. Great job Josh!
YAY!!! LOVE you guys, keep up your GREAT WORK!!! Seriously needs to be legalized EVERYWHERE! I have Fibromyalgia and KNOW this would work to heal me and so many others with various issues. THANK YOU!!!
Great talk! It’s quite possibly the most amazing plant on earth. It’s so misunderstood. That’s why I created my playlist of videos centered around CBD. Spread the love and knowledge people. Just be careful and do your homework before purchasing a product. Rest In Peace Charlotte.
An important little correction: CBD does not actually bind to the receptors in the brain, it binds to the CB2 receptor, which is throughout the body, but not in the brain. It is the CB1 receptor that is the most abundant type of receptor in the brain, and its the THC that binds to that. High THC strains have also work for epilepsy, but I understand the special approach for children. However since CBD does not work the same on its own (if it did, these families could buy CBD legally extracted from hemp in all US states, but it does not work like a high CBD strain of marijuana, so, the magic ingredient is not only CBD), there is synergy with that small amount of THC that makes for the overall medicine. Just pointing that out for those who jump on the band wagon saying there should be only high CBD marijuana with no THC at all! GW Pharmaceuticals and others have found, for most illnesses, a 1:1 ratio of THC and CBD generally produces the best results for most illnesses. Unless someone is highly sensitive to THC, then a high CBD strain is required. Just pointing out that THC is just as important as CBD. THC is ALSO a powerful antioxidant and neuro-protector, just like CBD. The 2 work best together.
do you happen to know the percentage of the 1:1 ratio ? I haven't come across any strain that was eg 50% THC and 50% CBD. Its usually 20% THC and 0.5% CBD or something similar.
the most consistent 1:1 strains available just now, are either clone only (tested so you know its content), or, from seed, the 'CBD Crew' seed company seem to be the only ones with consistent ratios grown from seed. Varying from around 5% THC 5%CBD to 10% THC and 10%CBD. When the ratios are close to 1:1, it is even more effective, meaning you can take a smaller dosage and still get the same results as if you were taking a higher dose of a 'regular strain' of commercial weed. The synergy of the cannabinoids enhance each others effect. If you had a mainly 'THC only' strain, or a 'CBD only' strain, you would follow the protocol of upping the dosage as you develop tolerance, however with the 1:1 ratios, (or as close to that ratio as possible) you do not need to up the dosage so much to get the same benefits. One other option, is to make the oil from any regular strain 20% THC 0.5% CBD range, then supplement that with CBD extracted from hemp. (not hemp seed). CBD from hemp on its own is not nearly as effective, but, it can be used in combination to increase the CBD levels and make the THC oil more effective.
I would agree, without having to add to your insightful contribution (and I can't :-D) I mean the whole plants medical properties is the reason why is it what it is...
Well done Josh! Your work in this field is amazing. Keep up the fight to get this medical wonder used by ALL! I know I would absolutely love to try it for a number of ailments, without the side-effects of my current big-pharma poison.
the law is an ASS. come on people, can we really stand to live in a world like this, that makes plants ILLEGAL while dangerous chemicals that profit the rich are fine to give to our kids!?! I can't bare it any longer
Westword, Denver's arm of New Times, ran a great article about this a few years ago. Pharma and tobacco can't figure out how to CONTROL cannabis and harness its profitability. As a matter of fact, Colorado's limits on growing make it impossible for Big Tobacco to monopolize. But the Big Three have many politicians on both sides of the aisle in their pockets: keep an eye out for tax laws, medical definitions, and growing regulations that seem tailor-made for industrial pot. Laws have already been announced to curtail pot edibles.
Speaking as a person that has had epilepsy for over 15 years.Seeing a little child go through this far more severe then me is something that proves she has abundant strength and her doctors etc have common since. Natural meds are always best. One of my "prescription medications" Dilantin is a 95% reason why I now have diabetes also.
Kevin Williams I hear you, I do too. Most seizure meds are highly addictive and have horrible side effects. I had cancer as well and may of my chemo buddies could not endure the treatments without marijuana.
Kevin Williams I have only found articles like this helping pediatric epilepsy. It made me curious if it is effective for adolescents and adults. do you know where I can read more information?
Kevin Williams My son was on Dilantin, Depakote and several other drugs that I can't recall right now. Dilantin was by far the worst drug. His seizures weren't controlled, his head hurt constantly, and he was very depressed all the time. I didn't know it caused diabetes, though. It's really, messed up that you have that disease now. I wish there was a cure for epilepsy and diabetes. Are you still taking Dilantin?
I no longer use dilantin I stopped taking it over 9 years. I use lamotrigine and phenobarbital. I have seen many illnesses including my own that medical cannabis could have positive effects. Natural remedies are the best remedies
And the Great thing is That Most of the Breeders and Cannabis Community ,Are all good folk.There will be a few out there that will have seen a way to get more for these strains.But the major part of those growing these will be only to happy to help.RESPECT Stanley Brothers
In a world where pharmaceuticals rule it is refreshing to have the option of healing our bodies with medical marijuana. Keep up the good work for the benefit of mankind. God bless.
i wish they do some study on kids with autism...I like to see my son calling me daddy...good luck ted and thank for everything you have done with all those kids..
Thankfully, now in 2017/2018 it finally becomes legal in Canada as well. I desperately need this for my daughter. We have tried every single medication imaginable, including ketogenic diet. Nothing really works. Today, my daughter has had 16 seizures. Not even Under the tongue Lorazepam works.
Just saying, some people really do have chronic back pain. I was born with scoliosis and have frequent muscle spasms in my lower back and neck. I promise you, until you experience the entire left side of your back seizing up at once, you have no right to say that isn't real pain.
People just like but their noses in other people's business. I'm trying to like the Stanley Brothers for what they've done, but don't like that part of this talk either. The rest is great though .
If you listen to the example he uses, "Ben", he got on Medicinal Marijuana so he could get high. He did so by claiming to have back pain. This was a widely used excuse to get a Medical Marijuana card so that they could smoke recreationally. That is the "back pain epidemic" he is speaking of, not people with valid pain.
I too have scoliosis, and the pain that comes from the spasams are so bad, you cant breathe. I dont mean its hard to breathe, you really cant breathe! Cbd has changed my life.
Prohibition is evil. This man is a hero.
I'm am a person with a hereditary auto immune disease, I thank Charlotte and her parents and these brothers I am praying they legalize it where I stay ,But when I get the funds I'm going to ask my son to fly with me to Colorado so I can get at least some to control my illness My son is so giving and he's in my corner And he's trying all he can to move obstacles so I can get there sooner I tell you I hurt and is in constant pain I know this is the solution I believe bless these brothers ❤ Thank y'all all so much I am thankful you all are fighting to assist other and thank y'all for helping Charlotte in her family It just bring hope God bless you all ❤ you guys

As a parent of a 18 month old baby who has uncontrollable epilepsy, we are suffering this nightmare of trying all 'legalized' drugs and diets to no effect. Our Child has 25+ fits per day and things are getting worse. This video has not only made be cry at work it has given me some faint hope for the future.
Ben Maybe there is something in this article that may be of help. Blessings to you and your family www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/31/cannabis-for-children_n_4697135.html
In three years, my husband and I are planning to move to Colorado. We plan to 'rent' rooms to parents like you so that you have the opportunity to save your children.
any update? have you tried cannabis high in cbd for the child?
Ben Hilton Oh good luck! I hope it works for you.
Ben Hilton I'm saying prayers for you and your family, Ben. I've been through it, too. My son is a grown man, and he still has seizures. He takes Kepra, which controls the seizures better than anything else, but he recently had a breakthrough seizure while I was visiting with him and his sisters. No parent wants to see their child suffer, no matter what age he or she is. That familiar feeling of complete helplessness and terror because you can't do anything to stop the seizures is...well, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
This talk should be worldwide!
I couldn't hold back the tears at the end.
Charlotte’s case and the work and research this man and his family have done changed my mind about MMJ.
It's both a sin, crime, and unethical that anyone who requires this plant is denied access to it!
Our 5 year old daughter has epilepsy, and was having seizures every 4 minutes according to her EEG. Her neurologist prescribed Zarontin, but we didn't feel comfortable going that route. A family member/RN suggested we look into studies being done on CBD, and we ran across Charlotte's Web. She had her first bottle this summer, and we noticed a difference overnight! She wasn't dazed and was back to the "pre-seizure" daughter we knew. She has been great ever since! Her teacher told us she (like us) noticed that she rarely has seizures, and to keep doing whatever we're doing. Thank you, Stanley Brothers!
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Thanks Josh for all the hard work along with your brothers! You are a blessing to many people, thanks for sharing!
I had to stop myself from crying,talk about a life saver. Too Josh Stanley and his brothers along with the cannabis plant. I just can't say enough.
Rest in peace, Charlotte
Just found this particular brand in Arkansas I’m so thrilled! God Bless the Stanley Brother’s and the realm of caring organization! Praying legislation is passed so that everyone can be able to use this wonderful medicinal plant.
i think the stanley bros are true hero deserve nobel prize keep up the good work guys
One of the best talks I've ever seen. Very moving. The stigma/taboo & myths around Cannabis, need to stop. I'm exhausted with all the pills being handed out like candy and then controlled, and the medical community (doctors, hospitals) drug testing for marijuana on patients that should be using marijuana. Meanwhile, medicines that don't work, being changed repeatedly and the patients not having any improvement because cannabis is NEVER even suggested. Things must change, and access to it should also. Thank you for being so incredibly frank and passionate to find something that works for so many people and hopefully the world SOON. (Just have to put all of our voices together so we are ALL heard over FDA & other groups that are trying to keep people from the freedom to choose.)
If this little girl, and her family doesn’t warm your heart, and convince you that Marijuana should be removed from Schedule 1, you are a heartless monster and should be forever shunned by the rest of humanity. The fact that people actually go to jail for doing everything they can to alleviate the suffering of these little ones, truly sickens me and shows that not only are there monsters in our midst, but that it's these ghouls that actually rule the world. This is not a “conspiracy theory” and you don't need to where “a tin foil hat” to see that this is not right. I’m sure there is a special level in hell for people that can justify their beliefs that “these hippies just want to get high” and who cares about a “bunch of stoners anyway“, while at the same time there popping every pill the doctor says they need, and washing them down with alcohol, because it‘s legal to do so. May God have mercy on your wretched souls.
Gold Panda Plus the prescription drugs they are on as well as the whiskey
Medical Marijuana can be helpful to so many people with various conditions, but legalizing it comes with so many issues. So many people would make fake conditions to gain access to “medical” marijuana. Even though the legalization is for medical, recreational users will always find a way to get around this. That being said, your comment that people who don’t support legal medical marijuana are horrible people is overdramatic. Many people who don’t support it feel that way because of the people who would abuse it. In this video, one case is examined and if that is expected to be enough for people to change their minds that’s wrong. Yes, it’s a very touching story, but no, not all stories end up this way. Using the story of a sweet young girl and her family is a manipulation tactic used by the person telling the story. When people see a sick child get better, their immediate response is to support whatever made this possible. This however, is not enough information to change someone’s mind about an issue that is so important.
But Emily, haven't you heard him saying that they were able to isolate the THC (the thing that actually makes you stoned)? If this gets regulated, people that need it can have access to MJ that is not only not a drug, but also a powerful medicine.
Emily Fauser Except that there isn't just one case and that was made clear during his talk. Also, CBD doesn't get you high, what would he have to gain from "manipulating" people into using it? He developed the strain Charlotte's Web specifically for her condition, this isn't just regular cannabis that people are smoking recreationally.
Steven McConnell . We live on a prison planet 💯,, people dying because some medical plants are banned by the rulers of our wonderful planet 🌎😍
What a great talk, and a very touching subject at that! Marijuana is quite taboo, due to all the misunderstanding and people being raised to believe it's bad. We just need to abandon all preconceptions and assumptions, seeing it for what it is.
I cry every time I watch this
Keep up the good work brothers Stanley.
Knowledge, Understanding and Love. The time has come for the truth to be lit up!!
A grateful heart for the part that Josh and his family are playing on are healing journey. Blessings of Love and Peace to us All!!
Love this video! Thanks so much for all your hard work. I'm praying it will legal everywhere soon. My 8 year old son was having more than 20 seizures a day, but responded well to his prescription meds. I would still switch to this if it were available, since his meds make him dizzy almost all day.
I have epilepsy too. Definitely not as torturous as Charlotte’s but I’m going to take the leap of faith and ask my doctor about cannabis, instead of the drugs I take now.
Amazing speech. The stupidity of prohibition needs to end now.
God bless Charlotte, and her family for their pursuit of a better, more beneficial strain of the cannabis plant This is a must see video!
God bless this man!
So true! Stay blessed!
Alan Culley which god?
Alan Culley lol
wolfflow I don't believe in any god, but I was saying the same thing.
God bless this man! He's fucking awesome. What a great person - he and his brothers. :)
impreprex1979 *Bless this man. As for god, there are many things that we do not understand about the universe but trying to define it's source based on a few books is ridiculous.
My cousin had the same diseases and she passed away last year ,it was very painful watching her suffer . I think we could have saved her if we knew about this medication earlier. Its time that the laws against Cannabis should be rewritten.
Fantastic people doing fantastic and inspiring work. Thank you Josh and your family for having the courage to put your own freedom on the line to reach out. Thanks Dr. Gupta for helping get the word out too.
Compassionate caring people! Thankful for those who educate others. There are so many people waiting. So many states with people suffering and dying while waiting. Prohibition must stop now. States are moving forward and that's a wonderful thing but then again there are states such as AL with governor Bentley who has said flat out NO! This is absurd. He is also a Physician. What are the people to do? Frustrated and Sad. Thank you Josh Stanley! Thanks to your brothers as well. The world needs more humanitarians like you.
This moved me. God Bless.
CBD is great for stopping seizures in chiildren.THC is also extremely important because of it's ability to kill cancer cells.
Rick Simpsons "run from the cure" watch his documentary, educate yourself and others. Please@John Sabp
@John Sabp well you have access to google. research it yourself.
@John Sabp There are very few "medical journal articles'" because no one will fund research for a federally illegal substance. Don't believe everything you think.
@@notyrmom5698 Watch Dr. Robert Lustig a pediatric euprhologist that is going around the USA speaking to Medical schools about how processed food and sugar is killing Americans and causing CVD, diabetes, Alzheimers, strokes, et cetera. He used to teach at Harvard. Watch Dr. Suzanne Humphries that quit her large medical practice because her conscience would not allow her anymore be just pill pushing disease technician. And then look up the world's two times only recipient, the Nobel Peace Prize, unshared by anyone else. Dr. Linus
Pauling and the vital importance of vitamin C. Also look up Dr. Jason Fung, a neurologist, I think, that also discredits pill pushing doctors. Fascinating, hopeful and makes you mad at every Luddite pill pushing quack doctor you ever had. Prayers for wonderful results.
@@sylviac.6778 Thank you so very much. I am grateful! I am seeing more and more people beginning to realize that we have choices. It gives me great hope. Best to you and yours.
The funny thing is, the question: "we're gonna give a 5 year old cannabis!?", is probably a legit question that would raise much debate and concern. But if a doctor says that they are going to place her on any of the 15 meds she was currently on... no red flags. Wake up people! I hate to use the word but most American's, and people in general seriously are sheeple.
Nate725 can you reply!? You seem to be awake and we need to connect. Let's change the world
Rest in peace little Angel
Im not sure why we need to point out that it makes you less high than other strains, as being high from cannabis is probably more beneficial for society as it would stop war and make people happier and less worry and stress. Thats why its called being 'high' because you are on a higher vibration which means positivity not negativity.
If everyone was high people would br able to function normaly in their daily life. Accidents of all kinds would rise
+greveeen and you know this how???
+Alex Florin statistics. Tests been done to show this. If youre high youre in no position to operate a vehicle
+greveeen what if the weed helps you drive because it comes down anxiety or decreases the chance of having a seizure or panic attack?
+Alex Florin calms*
Perfect speech and a perfect stance on the topic.
Well done to all the parents that are willing to try whatever it takes to help their child and in doing so help many other parents make more informed choices. Peace,love and CURE
My husband has diabetes 1 he has been in so much pain since we found out that Charlotte web can ease out the pain yes it has his pain was 10 everyday he is on 2week taking it has gone down to a 3 pain and really believe this will help plenty of people may GOD bless Brother
Wonderful talk~~~take a listen worth it!
I am so excited to see the video why? You are able to help hopeless parents and lovely children. Congratulations to you and you
Long needed and greatly appreciated. We may never know the full extent to which marijuana can help people unless and until it quits being treated as a "hippy" drug. Legalization, taxation, regulation and proper controls on growth and production are necessary. Why shouldn't we have ALL healing products available?
Pam...wow
It is the ONLY thing that has ever effectively managed my Crohn's Disease and associated Pancreatitis, amongst other debilitating symptoms typically experienced daily. I am able to function, help others, and enjoy my life, I otherwise would find impossible to partake in. I will do what is necessary to vote in support of and pray all who medically can benefit, will have access to it"s relief. Great job Josh!
Amazing and wonderful that this is now legal to buy in all 50 states!
EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS!
Enlightening, CONGRATULATIONS Stanley Brothers, WELL DOWN
Makes the Hearst family look criminal. Thank you for helping children. Hope they wake up to the fact that this plant will save the world!
YAY!!! LOVE you guys, keep up your GREAT WORK!!! Seriously needs to be legalized EVERYWHERE! I have Fibromyalgia and KNOW this would work to heal me and so many others with various issues. THANK YOU!!!
Yep! God bless this man and his brothers!!!
Beautiful video, thank you kindly.
78 Pharmaceutical people have given this a thumbs down.
😮well I give it a thumbs up It's needed Children he said are dieing ,and I say Adults too
Great talk! It’s quite possibly the most amazing plant on earth. It’s so misunderstood. That’s why I created my playlist of videos centered around CBD. Spread the love and knowledge people. Just be careful and do your homework before purchasing a product. Rest In Peace Charlotte.
An important little correction: CBD does not actually bind to the receptors in the brain, it binds to the CB2 receptor, which is throughout the body, but not in the brain. It is the CB1 receptor that is the most abundant type of receptor in the brain, and its the THC that binds to that. High THC strains have also work for epilepsy, but I understand the special approach for children. However since CBD does not work the same on its own (if it did, these families could buy CBD legally extracted from hemp in all US states, but it does not work like a high CBD strain of marijuana, so, the magic ingredient is not only CBD), there is synergy with that small amount of THC that makes for the overall medicine.
Just pointing that out for those who jump on the band wagon saying there should be only high CBD marijuana with no THC at all!
GW Pharmaceuticals and others have found, for most illnesses, a 1:1 ratio of THC and CBD generally produces the best results for most illnesses. Unless someone is highly sensitive to THC, then a high CBD strain is required.
Just pointing out that THC is just as important as CBD. THC is ALSO a powerful antioxidant and neuro-protector, just like CBD. The 2 work best together.
do you happen to know the percentage of the 1:1 ratio ? I haven't come across any strain that was eg 50% THC and 50% CBD. Its usually 20% THC and 0.5% CBD or something similar.
the most consistent 1:1 strains available just now, are either clone only (tested so you know its content), or, from seed, the 'CBD Crew' seed company seem to be the only ones with consistent ratios grown from seed. Varying from around 5% THC 5%CBD to 10% THC and 10%CBD. When the ratios are close to 1:1, it is even more effective, meaning you can take a smaller dosage and still get the same results as if you were taking a higher dose of a 'regular strain' of commercial weed. The synergy of the cannabinoids enhance each others effect. If you had a mainly 'THC only' strain, or a 'CBD only' strain, you would follow the protocol of upping the dosage as you develop tolerance, however with the 1:1 ratios, (or as close to that ratio as possible) you do not need to up the dosage so much to get the same benefits. One other option, is to make the oil from any regular strain 20% THC 0.5% CBD range, then supplement that with CBD extracted from hemp. (not hemp seed). CBD from hemp on its own is not nearly as effective, but, it can be used in combination to increase the CBD levels and make the THC oil more effective.
this is great info i was about to write the same thing. thanks for taking the time to post that
made my day
I would agree, without having to add to your insightful contribution (and I can't :-D) I mean the whole plants medical properties is the reason why is it what it is...
That’s wonderful, thank you!
How could anyone dislike this?
Well done Josh! Your work in this field is amazing. Keep up the fight to get this medical wonder used by ALL! I know I would absolutely love to try it for a number of ailments, without the side-effects of my current big-pharma poison.
That’s why you get that feeling behind your eyes when you smoke it’s the reduction in ocular pressure
weed to the rescue for Glaucoma !
the law is an ASS. come on people, can we really stand to live in a world like this, that makes plants ILLEGAL while dangerous chemicals that profit the rich are fine to give to our kids!?! I can't bare it any longer
Westword, Denver's arm of New Times, ran a great article about this a few years ago. Pharma and tobacco can't figure out how to CONTROL cannabis and harness its profitability. As a matter of fact, Colorado's limits on growing make it impossible for Big Tobacco to monopolize. But the Big Three have many politicians on both sides of the aisle in their pockets: keep an eye out for tax laws, medical definitions, and growing regulations that seem tailor-made for industrial pot. Laws have already been announced to curtail pot edibles.
Yes We road through it all !
those 7 dislikes r heartbreaking and baffling
Speaking as a person that has had epilepsy for over 15 years.Seeing a little child go through this far more severe then me is something that proves she has abundant strength and her doctors etc have common since. Natural meds are always best. One of my "prescription medications" Dilantin is a 95% reason why I now have diabetes also.
Kevin Williams I hear you, I do too. Most seizure meds are highly addictive and have horrible side effects. I had cancer as well and may of my chemo buddies could not endure the treatments without marijuana.
Kevin Williams I have only found articles like this helping pediatric epilepsy. It made me curious if it is effective for adolescents and adults.
do you know where I can read more information?
Kevin Williams My son was on Dilantin, Depakote and several other drugs that I can't recall right now. Dilantin was by far the worst drug. His seizures weren't controlled, his head hurt constantly, and he was very depressed all the time. I didn't know it caused diabetes, though. It's really, messed up that you have that disease now. I wish there was a cure for epilepsy and diabetes. Are you still taking Dilantin?
I no longer use dilantin I stopped taking it over 9 years. I use lamotrigine and phenobarbital. I have seen many illnesses including my own that medical cannabis could have positive effects. Natural remedies are the best remedies

And the Great thing is That Most of the Breeders and Cannabis Community ,Are all good folk.There will be a few out there that will have seen a way to get more for these strains.But the major part of those growing these will be only to happy to help.RESPECT Stanley Brothers
It blows my mind how there are some that dislike this video... I just can't understand.
Anyone who is still against this medicine being available, doesn't deserve to call themselves human.
yes some hardnuts out there will need alot of love...eventually they'll come around..I hope? :-)
In a world where pharmaceuticals rule it is refreshing to have the option of healing our bodies with medical marijuana. Keep up the good work for the benefit of mankind.
God bless.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
i wish they do some study on kids with autism...I like to see my son calling me daddy...good luck ted and thank for everything you have done with all those kids..
Let’s help this become a true medicine!!! Please !!
Thankfully, now in 2017/2018 it finally becomes legal in Canada as well. I desperately need this for my daughter. We have tried every single medication imaginable, including ketogenic diet. Nothing really works. Today, my daughter has had 16 seizures. Not even Under the tongue Lorazepam works.
Just saying, some people really do have chronic back pain. I was born with scoliosis and have frequent muscle spasms in my lower back and neck. I promise you, until you experience the entire left side of your back seizing up at once, you have no right to say that isn't real pain.
People just like but their noses in other people's business. I'm trying to like the Stanley Brothers for what they've done, but don't like that part of this talk either. The rest is great though .
If you listen to the example he uses, "Ben", he got on Medicinal Marijuana so he could get high. He did so by claiming to have back pain. This was a widely used excuse to get a Medical Marijuana card so that they could smoke recreationally. That is the "back pain epidemic" he is speaking of, not people with valid pain.
I too have scoliosis, and the pain that comes from the spasams are so bad, you cant breathe. I dont mean its hard to breathe, you really cant breathe! Cbd has changed my life.
