Nothing stopped her seizures until she found cannabis: Why the DEA just approved CBD drug for rare form of epilepsy-cnbc
Amanda Reuther ran into the room where her husband was with their infant daughter, Paeyton, when she heard him yell, “She’s choking!” Paeyton’s arms and legs were twitching in unison, and her eyes rolled back into her head as the skin of her face turned a dull gray color.
That was Paeyton’s first seizure when she was one-year-old, and it was the beginning of a four-year-long odyssey of doctor visits, medications, sudden seizures, hospitalizations and near constant worry and helplessness for their family.

CBD Doesn’t Get You High, But Could Someday Eclipse the Entire Pot Industry- The Street

Former NFL Player Larry Chester, ‘CBD Saved My Life’ -Miami CBS Local
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Fourteen years ago, Larry Chester was a bruising defensive lineman for the Miami Dolphins.
