Josh will sift through the propaganda, fear and greed encompassing medical marijuana. Recently featured on CNN, Josh and his brothers developed a non-psychotropic strain of marijuana which is drastically reducing seizures for many pediatric epilepsy patients in Colorado. With millions facing life-threatening illnesses, Josh outlines the hurdles needed to effect social change and maps a path toward helping those who desperately need revolutionary medicine.

As a parent of a 18 month old baby who has uncontrollable epilepsy, we are suffering this nightmare of trying all 'legalized' drugs and diets to no effect. Our Child has 25+ fits per day and things are getting worse. This video has not only made be cry at work it has given me some faint hope for the future.

I just got arrested for growing pot for my seizures, I'm in big trouble with the law now. Please pray for me and my husband.

I live in Indiana and i wish i could help the children here but our governor here would rather spend our tax dollars on stupid thing's that just don't mater to us like, refusing gay and lesbian rights to marriage or service in some businesses. Not to mention using our tax dollars to use for his travel expenses?!?!?. I vote for a new governor who cares for the people and not use them.

This is extraordinary. I hope this country wakes up, and wakes up soon, to realize that Cannabis is not a schedule 1 narcotic, never should have been labeled as such.

Prohibition is evil. This man is a hero.

Anyone who is still against this medicine being available, doesn't deserve to call themselves human.

The biggest example of big pharma telling the gov't what to do

This video is further proof that our policies are not just wrong but morally horrible to the people they are meant to protect. The future will look at this prohibition in history classes shaking their heads thinking "what were these people thinking?" just as we do today with segregation and other social injustices. Legalize, tax and regulate already! Why do Colorado and Washington get all the jobs?! Please tax me!

It worked for me !!! I had epilepsy three times weekly when I was in elementary school. After smoking cannabis they completely stopped and this changed my life.

He went from someone afraid of being locked up and became a hero. Against all odds and became greater than himself.

Today, April 8th, 2020 . . . we are saddened by the passing of Charlotte Figi. Her strength has empowered millions around the globe to think for themselves and go beyond the restrictive, outdated laws that limited healthcare & wellness. We will surely miss her happy spirit.

Thank you little girl - and your family. RIP. What I began to learn from your episode with Sanjay Gupta started me down a path that changed my life over time. A tea made from the crushed leaves of high CBD cannabis has had a miraculous effect on my arthritis, and my life long insomnia. The world owes you and your family.
