        i would personally get alexis to consume pure decarboxylated white powder CBD that way theres no THC high associated with it and it is even more effective (proven by science actually just recently) than pharmacueticals for epilepsy and seizures. it works for withdrawals 2, try it

        Most people would consider my life being saved a very bad thing. But it's true.. Cannabis saved my life.. No question I would be dead without it from OD on pills or maybe a heart attack

        Accurate statistics on drugged driving since marijuana was legalized. Class action audits should be brought on behalf of families! Marijuana is tied to onset of epilepsy and schizophrenia!http://www.factcheck.org/2016/08/unpacking-pots-impact-in-colorado/ …
