Prohibition is evil. This man is a hero.

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.

Thank you,my husband had a stroke and became an epileptic,long story short,fell in to a coma last July 5 weeks,when he woke he was about 5 tears old , and.he’s 67,now,the cannabis helped save his life!!!! And is repairing his brain damage 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Cuddles from Canada 🌼🌼🌺🌸🇬🇧🇨🇦M

Rest in Peace Little Charlotte Figi.. You made great strides in improving the world.. Your love of pink, and ballet dancing in the kitchen.. We all love you and will miss you.. Sleep peacefully little darling.

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.

As a cancer patient, sending Josh and his brothers so much love!

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

This video literally saved my life and life of my daughter!! After having two years of seizures - she is finally healthy (after only 2 month of taking CBD), without any side effects or whatever was caused by pharmaceuticals AEDs. Thank you!!!

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.

Absolutely heartbreaking. This plant is Gods gift to the human race! Wake up world! #cannabisforall

RIP Charolette. Thanks for all you’ve done!

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 Her strength has empowered millions around the globe to think for themselves and go beyond the restrictive, outdated laws that limited healthcare & wellness.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. Please send her family positivity, as they need our deepest gratitude, love, and prayers. Thank you, dear Charlotte . . . we will be forever mindful of your beauty & strength. RIPCF

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.

Thank you for educating people on the benefits of CBD

The development of a childs' brain is very critical at the young stage. You can just imagine the trauma it has on a child with seizures.

Dearest Stanley Brothers, I'm 61 and watching this video brings me to tears of joy I Love guys like you for helping the most needy.

God bless this Man and his brothers,,,, and I vow to do everything in my means to legalize CBD in my state.

Simply AMAZING! This treatment should be available in ALL 50 States!

The Stanley brothers are the real OGs of medical marijuana. This was six years ago, and today CBD is so normalised and socially acceptable for therapeutic use. Charlotte passed away 5 months ago, but her legacy will live on for generations. She really changed the world.

The funny thing is, the question: "we're gonna give a 5 year old cannabis!?", is probably a legit question that would raise much debate and concern. But if a doctor says that they are going to place her on any of the 15 meds she was currently on... no red flags. Wake up people! I hate to use the word but most American's, and people in general seriously are sheeple.

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 so got Goosebumps and love for Charlottes family! How wonderful!

The Stanley's and Figi's have made it possible for my son to get better. I can't thank them enough for offering to help us at the Realm of Caring. I think the more they get this information out there the better. CBD is helping these children and I love being here in Colorado. We had to move from WV to get help. Sad...federal laws need to change soon!

One of the best TED talks, of all time!

If this little girl, and her family doesn’t warm your heart, and convince you that Marijuana should be removed from Schedule 1, you are a heartless monster and should be forever shunned by the rest of humanity. The fact that people actually go to jail for doing everything they can to alleviate the suffering of these little ones, truly sickens me and shows that not only are there monsters in our midst, but that it's these ghouls that actually rule the world. This is not a “conspiracy theory” and you don't need to where “a tin foil hat” to see that this is not right. I’m sure there is a special level in hell for people that can justify their beliefs that “these hippies just want to get high” and who cares about a “bunch of stoners anyway“, while at the same time there popping every pill the doctor says they need, and washing them down with alcohol, because it‘s legal to do so. May God have mercy on your wretched souls.

78 Pharmaceutical people have given this a thumbs down.

RIP Charlotte

Thank God for these good people.

It's both a sin, crime, and unethical that anyone who requires this plant is denied access to it!

Charlotte’s case and the work and research this man and his family have done changed my mind about MMJ.

Rest in peace, Charlotte

Amazing speech. The stupidity of prohibition needs to end now.

Children are not the only ones in need of this work. I am 53 and have been a diagnosed epileptic for 40 of those years. Just Getting a job is a big problem.

Not only that this is one of the most amazing TED talks I ever watched, but it should also be shared with the whole world ASAP!

CBD is great for stopping seizures in chiildren.THC is also extremely important because of it's ability to kill cancer cells.

This group of brothers is just outstanding.

Your speech was moving josh. i have been watching your videos and keeping up with how you guys made it in your country. and i think your guys are hero`s, not just your way of growing it but thinking outside of the box. im really glad to have people like you in this world. i just hope norway soon will understand the help that can be found in the cannabis. and all this come`s from a 18 year old "dude" from norway. thank you for doing the right thing.

The Stanley Family is incredible. You all have my absolute full support, thank you for doing what you do.

God bless Charlotte, and her family for their pursuit of a better, more beneficial strain of the cannabis plant This is a must see video!

thank you for sharing this most touching inspiring story-charlotte figi was a true warrior of light, there is no amount of gratitude that can be expressed to such a brave child who has changed a world of minds, toward a plant that has sadly been so stigmatized at the cost of many innocent lives-dear charlotte, you inspired a generation through your short yet immeasurable life, you are always going to be remember for the revolution you brought to light, thank you dear one, for the courage you showed coming into this world to show many others like you their ray of hope, you will be missed for sure, but know also you have fullfilled a grand purpose, in this mystery called life you lived yours to bring peace respite-may your spirit continue its journey as it will never die

God bless the Stanley Brothers for helping all of the family's

Rest in peace little Angel

I had to stop myself from crying,talk about a life saver. Too Josh Stanley and his brothers along with the cannabis plant. I just can't say enough.

RIP Charlotte Figi

God bless this man!

Just found this particular brand in Arkansas I’m so thrilled! God Bless the Stanley Brother’s and the realm of caring organization! Praying legislation is passed so that everyone can be able to use this wonderful medicinal plant.

Keep up the good work brothers Stanley.

What a great talk, and a very touching subject at that! Marijuana is quite taboo, due to all the misunderstanding and people being raised to believe it's bad. We just need to abandon all preconceptions and assumptions, seeing it for what it is.

Josh is one of the most inspiring people I've ever met. Pleasure to share the stage with you, brother.

Absolutely amazing information! Thank you for standing up!

You did a great job Josh, i was in tears ;) Keep up the great work and many blessing for you and your family.

I just want to share this over and over, God Bless you.

Our 5 year old daughter has epilepsy, and was having seizures every 4 minutes according to her EEG. Her neurologist prescribed Zarontin, but we didn't feel comfortable going that route. A family member/RN suggested we look into studies being done on CBD, and we ran across Charlotte's Web. She had her first bottle this summer, and we noticed a difference overnight! She wasn't dazed and was back to the "pre-seizure" daughter we knew. She has been great ever since! Her teacher told us she (like us) noticed that she rarely has seizures, and to keep doing whatever we're doing. Thank you, Stanley Brothers!

I couldn't hold back the tears at the end.

if you don't shed tears of happiness from this, your not human!!!

Remarkable story, that should be mandatory for every politician and policy maker to view and comment on! Be the change and spread this to everyone!

My cousin had the same diseases and she passed away last year ,it was very painful watching her suffer . I think we could have saved her if we knew about this medication earlier. Its time that the laws against Cannabis should be rewritten.

Thank you!! This video had changed people's way of thinking forever!!

One of the best talks I've ever seen. Very moving. The stigma/taboo & myths around Cannabis, need to stop. I'm exhausted with all the pills being handed out like candy and then controlled, and the medical community (doctors, hospitals) drug testing for marijuana on patients that should be using marijuana. Meanwhile, medicines that don't work, being changed repeatedly and the patients not having any improvement because cannabis is NEVER even suggested. Things must change, and access to it should also. Thank you for being so incredibly frank and passionate to find something that works for so many people and hopefully the world SOON. (Just have to put all of our voices together so we are ALL heard over FDA & other groups that are trying to keep people from the freedom to choose.)

i think the stanley bros are true hero deserve nobel prize keep up the good work guys

😢What wouldn’t I do to for my child 💔 You guys are amazing and cannabis has been a Godsend for these families 😢🙏🏽

My husband has diabetes 1 he has been in so much pain since we found out that Charlotte web can ease out the pain yes it has his pain was 10 everyday he is on 2week taking it has gone down to a 3 pain and really believe this will help plenty of people may GOD bless Brother

My son takes medical cannabis for his autism and Tourette Syndrome. It's been a miracle for him.

Im not sure why we need to point out that it makes you less high than other strains, as being high from cannabis is probably more beneficial for society as it would stop war and make people happier and less worry and stress. Thats why its called being 'high' because you are on a higher vibration which means positivity not negativity.

my support 100%

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Thanks Josh for all the hard work along with your brothers! You are a blessing to many people, thanks for sharing!

An important little correction: CBD does not actually bind to the receptors in the brain, it binds to the CB2 receptor, which is throughout the body, but not in the brain. It is the CB1 receptor that is the most abundant type of receptor in the brain, and its the THC that binds to that. High THC strains have also work for epilepsy, but I understand the special approach for children. However since CBD does not work the same on its own (if it did, these families could buy CBD legally extracted from hemp in all US states, but it does not work like a high CBD strain of marijuana, so, the magic ingredient is not only CBD), there is synergy with that small amount of THC that makes for the overall medicine. Just pointing that out for those who jump on the band wagon saying there should be only high CBD marijuana with no THC at all! GW Pharmaceuticals and others have found, for most illnesses, a 1:1 ratio of THC and CBD generally produces the best results for most illnesses. Unless someone is highly sensitive to THC, then a high CBD strain is required. Just pointing out that THC is just as important as CBD. THC is ALSO a powerful antioxidant and neuro-protector, just like CBD. The 2 work best together.

Long needed and greatly appreciated. We may never know the full extent to which marijuana can help people unless and until it quits being treated as a "hippy" drug. Legalization, taxation, regulation and proper controls on growth and production are necessary. Why shouldn't we have ALL healing products available?

Makes the Hearst family look criminal. Thank you for helping children. Hope they wake up to the fact that this plant will save the world!

Wonderful talk~~~take a listen worth it!

This moved me. God Bless.

Amazing and wonderful that this is now legal to buy in all 50 states!

Compassionate caring people! Thankful for those who educate others. There are so many people waiting. So many states with people suffering and dying while waiting. Prohibition must stop now. States are moving forward and that's a wonderful thing but then again there are states such as AL with governor Bentley who has said flat out NO! This is absurd. He is also a Physician. What are the people to do? Frustrated and Sad. Thank you Josh Stanley! Thanks to your brothers as well. The world needs more humanitarians like you.

Love this video! Thanks so much for all your hard work. I'm praying it will legal everywhere soon. My 8 year old son was having more than 20 seizures a day, but responded well to his prescription meds. I would still switch to this if it were available, since his meds make him dizzy almost all day.

Knowledge, Understanding and Love. The time has come for the truth to be lit up!! A grateful heart for the part that Josh and his family are playing on are healing journey. Blessings of Love and Peace to us All!!

the law is an ASS. come on people, can we really stand to live in a world like this, that makes plants ILLEGAL while dangerous chemicals that profit the rich are fine to give to our kids!?! I can't bare it any longer

Well done to all the parents that are willing to try whatever it takes to help their child and in doing so help many other parents make more informed choices. Peace,love and CURE

i wish they do some study on kids with autism...I like to see my son calling me daddy...good luck ted and thank for everything you have done with all those kids..

those 7 dislikes r heartbreaking and baffling

This talk should be worldwide!

How could anyone dislike this?

Fantastic people doing fantastic and inspiring work. Thank you Josh and your family for having the courage to put your own freedom on the line to reach out. Thanks Dr. Gupta for helping get the word out too.

This video shouldn’t have any dislikes

It is the ONLY thing that has ever effectively managed my Crohn's Disease and associated Pancreatitis, amongst other debilitating symptoms typically experienced daily. I am able to function, help others, and enjoy my life, I otherwise would find impossible to partake in. I will do what is necessary to vote in support of and pray all who medically can benefit, will have access to it"s relief. Great job Josh!

Thanks to the Stanley family for devoting their lives to this cause. I've heard about the millions in research and development required to bring new drugs to market. The truth is that much of that R&D is done in university labs and hospitals funded by taxpayers. Charlotte's Web has no such financial benefits, the Stanleys funded research and now that patients are benefiting, more private donors are participating.

THIS TOUCHES MY HEART

In a world where pharmaceuticals rule it is refreshing to have the option of healing our bodies with medical marijuana. Keep up the good work for the benefit of mankind. God bless.

And the Great thing is That Most of the Breeders and Cannabis Community ,Are all good folk.There will be a few out there that will have seen a way to get more for these strains.But the major part of those growing these will be only to happy to help.RESPECT Stanley Brothers

Great talk! It’s quite possibly the most amazing plant on earth. It’s so misunderstood. That’s why I created my playlist of videos centered around CBD. Spread the love and knowledge people. Just be careful and do your homework before purchasing a product. Rest In Peace Charlotte.

I have had long term PTSD for as long as I can remember. This plant makes me LIVE. End of story.

It blows my mind how there are some that dislike this video... I just can't understand.

YAY!!! LOVE you guys, keep up your GREAT WORK!!! Seriously needs to be legalized EVERYWHERE! I have Fibromyalgia and KNOW this would work to heal me and so many others with various issues. THANK YOU!!!

Perfect speech and a perfect stance on the topic.

Yep! God bless this man and his brothers!!!

I have epilepsy too. Definitely not as torturous as Charlotte’s but I’m going to take the leap of faith and ask my doctor about cannabis, instead of the drugs I take now.

Beautiful video, thank you kindly.

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

Yes We road through it all !

Every time I hear her story I bite my lip and squeeze my teeth trying not to ball my eyes out.

Just saying, some people really do have chronic back pain. I was born with scoliosis and have frequent muscle spasms in my lower back and neck. I promise you, until you experience the entire left side of your back seizing up at once, you have no right to say that isn't real pain.
