A Florida single mother of four announced this week (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2710488/The-mother-toddler-sent-home-hospital-die-claims-daughter-making-miraculous-recovery-thanks-CANNABIS.html) that she believes a strain of cannabis has saved the life of her youngest child, 19-month-old Nettie, after doctors said that no more could be done to keep her alive. “Nettie was going to die,” Rachael Garner told Yahoo Health about her daughter. “I feel 100 percent sure it has saved her life.”
Nettie — who was born with cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus (a buildup of fluid on the brain), which was causing frequent seizures — was hospitalized with two strains of pneumonia in June, when doctors said she would soon die. On July 2, Garner started her daughter on a rogue treatment plan of cannabidiol, or CBD, which is a non-psychoactive, THC-free marijuana compound; it had been sent to her gratis, from California-based provider Stephen Carmen, of Carmen CBD Oils (http://carmencbdoils.weebly.com/), who found Nettie’s story on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/OurNettie). Garner, a 33-year-old certified pharmacy technician (currently not working) who reads medical journals and was familiar with stories about CBD and seizures, readily accepted. And 24 hours after the first treatment, which involves administering drops under the tongue, Garner noticed a remarkable turnaround in Nettie.

I think it is great that this ladies baby may have been saved by marijuana and think that if a drug can benefit a person, then it should be used. But at the same time, casual use of drugs to get high is stupid and pointless.
