A must see, the amazing story evebody should see and that something should be done about.
I read about this story I think on december from the past year and it had already stuck me. About a month ago I saw this video of the coference of Josh Stanley at the the TED xBolulder. While I was watching it and specially when the video finished I couldn't stop thinking about "Dallas Buyers Club" a movie that I had seen casually not so long ago from the moment I saw the video. Yes I know we are talking about cannabis and I'm not an enthusiast of this one, I don't consume it and I don't think I ever will, but what people need to have clear here is that we are not talking about this famous plant anymore, the regular one, it keeps having the same name because comes from the same plant but this one is alterated, is not psychoactive at all and have saved the lives of little children from Colorado that would have died if it wouldn't have existed. Can you picture in your mind the fact of reducing 400 seizures a week to 0-1 and 200 a day to 0?. I mentioned Dallas buyers club before because I found a lot in common about having found a cure or a medicine to prolongue life and not doing nothing about it to allow it globally due to a business that need to keep selling their usual medicines or due to a taboo we have that does not let us see the reality of the situation, that this plant is not the same one that get people high. This is "Charlotte web", do we really want let children keep dying only due to the fact that this medicine comes fron the cannabis? I think something should be done, and everybody should watch this video I leave below if you haven't seen it...
