In truth, this rarely has anything to do with a
desire by patients to get high, but rather is
motivated by the fact that cannabis often is of
substantial benefit for a myriad of conditions
where standard approaches have fallen
dramatically short.
Cannabis is actually among the most studied
drugs of all time, largely as a result of US-
sponsored research on its harms”.
I will write more about the ins and outs of
cannabis oil in another article, but for now, I
will share with you one mother’s powerful
story.
One Family’s Story
Many parents have reached out to me, sharing
their stories of how cannabis oil has changed
their lives, or their children’s. One, in
particular, stood out for me.
It’s important for this story to be heard.
It raises awareness about a highly effective,
natural medicine that’s denied to so many
(often in favour of synthetic, pharmaceutical
drugs that can have serious side effects).
It also gives hope to those who feel they have
no options, and no way out of their (or their
children’s) emotional, mental, or physical
health problems.
Imagine yourself in this mother’s shoes, and
think about how you might feel if your child
was going through the very same thing.
What would you do?
Would You Give Your Suffering Child
Cannabis Oil?
When mainstream options don’t seem to be
working, we tend to seek out alternative
solutions. And usually, by this time, we’re
already in a bad situation.
I spoke to a mother in such a situation.
She told me cannabis oil had significantly
changed her family’s life for the better, in just
four days.
For the sake of protecting the family’s privacy
(and to avoid yet another loving parent being
arrested and charged), let’s call the mother
Sophie, and the daughter Sarah.
Like any typical 14 year old girl, Sarah’s
emotions went up and down in rollercoaster
fashion.
She was okay one minute, then a hurricane of
anger and misery the next.
Assuming it was normal teenage behaviour,
Sophie simply listened to her daughter in
order for her to feel heard, and she supported
her as well as she could – even taking her
away for one-on-one time more often.
As months went by, Sarah’s emotional state
worsened, as did Sophie’s confidence as a
parent.
No matter what Sophie said, or how much she
supported her daughter, it didn’t seem to
make any difference.
The first major warning sign was an anxiety
attack in the doctor’s office.
Sarah had been swinging between bouts of
tears and laughter, and she admitted she
hadn’t been taking food to school because she
was too anxious to be seen eating.
When anyone looked at Sarah, however
innocently, as she walked into school, she
became really anxious.
She would leave her jumper on in class, even
if she was hot, because she didn’t want to be
seen taking it off.
She wouldn’t blow her nose or cough, no
matter how badly she needed to… and it
didn’t end there.
Her anxiety had infiltrated many aspects of
her daily life.
After hearing these shocking new revelations,
Sophie did some research, and realised her
daughter had severe social anxiety.
Anything that attracted attention to Sarah
triggered her anxiety.
She had always excelled academically, and
pushed herself to achieve perfect grades –
mostly to avoid the attention and
embarrassment that came with mistakes or
poor results.
She became obsessive about homework, yet
increasingly procrastinated as her condition
worsened, exploding with emotion when
deadlines loomed.
