![Inside the World of Medical Marijuana for Kids](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/6Ic4KUCK/poster.jpg?width=720)

_Published 2014-10-21. The story of a family's illegal cross-country drive to transport marijuana oil for their epileptic 3-year-old daughter. A look inside the quasi-legal, science free world of medical marijuana for children from TIME's Red Border Films_
Description, summary, key points, chapters, key quotes, questions and transcript, where present, were produced automatically from the video or its captions and were not reviewed.

## Summary
The video follows a family that drove illegally across state lines to transport cannabis oil for their epileptic three-year-old daughter, Charlotte, after treatments in Tennessee were unavailable. It shows the cultivation and extraction process at a Colorado hemp farm producing Charlotte's Web oil, and the family's experience giving the oil to their daughter. Physicians and the family discuss the lack of scientific data, inconsistent product quality, and the uncertain legal status of hemp and cannabis extracts.

## Key points
- Penn Madison, head manager at Stanley Brothers Social Enterprises, says the company grows medical hemp and that Charlotte's Web is derived from whole-plant extract. (02:37)
- Nellie's father describes her condition as intractable epilepsy, a debilitating form of the disease that does not respond to the family's prior treatments. (03:07)
- The family moved to Colorado and then temporarily rented an apartment in California, reporting visible changes in Charlotte after the first doses, including more verbal and attentive behavior. (09:50)
- The family drove cross-country to bring back a six-month supply of oil, with the father saying he constantly thought about the legal issues as he crossed each state. (10:35)
- A Children's Colorado physician reports that only about a third of families see much improvement, and no children showed the EEG changes expected from an effective medication. (11:59)
- The physician says some children's seizures worsened enough to require intensive care, and that artisanal products vary from batch to batch and grower to grower. (12:02)
- A federal drug enforcement position reportedly states that hemp products with detectable THC are technically a violation of federal law, while acknowledging such products are widely sold. (14:09)

## Chapters
- [00:00 to 01:02] Family's illegal drive for medical oil. The family explains the legal risks they accepted to transport cannabis extract for their daughter.
- [01:02 to 03:01] Harvesting medical hemp in Colorado. Growers describe cutting, drying and planting the plants that will be processed into oil.
- [03:01 to 05:17] Nellie's epilepsy and the extraction process. A family describes their child's intractable epilepsy and the process of turning plants into oil.
- [05:17 to 08:10] Charlotte's seizures and the Colorado physician. Charlotte's parents describe her severe seizures and a physician describes his clinic's patient visits.
- [08:10 to 10:35] Searching for treatment and relocating. Parents describe frustration with state programs and the decision to move to California and bring oil back.
- [10:35 to 13:33] Physician concerns about evidence and safety. A physician discusses limited results, lack of research, product variability and possible side effects.
- [13:33 to 16:16] Legal gray area and future shipping. Growers discuss legal uncertainty, a planned interstate shipping product, and the family's ongoing hope.

## Key quotes
- [00:28] unidentified parent: "We don't wanna break the law."
- [01:02] unidentified speaker: "There still are many, many children and adults with epilepsy who can't be controlled with existing therapies."
- [11:59] Children's Colorado physician: "Overall, at least so far, our experience here at Children's Colorado has been that, that only about a third of families are really reporting that they see much of an improvement in their children."
- [12:41] Children's Colorado physician: "Unfortunately, we're giving it out to large numbers of very vulnerable people like children."
- [14:46] unidentified speaker: "At this point in time I don't feel like the legal landscape has us such that people are going to come in with guns and handcuffs and try and shut down something that is providing hope and options for people."

## Questions this video answers
- Why did the family drive across state lines with cannabis oil for their daughter? [10:35]
- How is the cannabis extract made from the plants? [04:37]
- What do physicians say about the scientific evidence and results for these children? [11:59]
- What are the legal risks of transporting or selling hemp and cannabis extracts? [14:09]

## Content suitability
- health controversy [11:59-13:33]: Physicians question the effectiveness and safety of cannabis treatments for children, and report worsened seizures in some patients.
- drugs and alcohol [00:00-16:16]: The video centers on medical cannabis and cannabis extracts, including their cultivation and use.
- crime [00:28-14:46]: Families and sellers discuss transporting cannabis extract across state lines in violation of federal and state laws.
- financial distress [05:17-09:50]: Families describe relocating, moving, and spending large amounts of time and resources searching for treatment.

More children under 6 across the U.S. [are being exposed to marijuana](http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/06/150608081610.htm), according to a study released on Monday.

The study, conducted by researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and published in the journal _Clinical Pediatrics,_ showed a 147.5% increase in marijuana exposure among children younger than 6 years old between 2006 and 2013\. That rate spiked by 610% over the same period in states where marijuana was legalized for medicinal purposes before 2000.

Although the total number of reported cases — 1,969 children between 2000 and 2013 — is not large, the researchers say the rapid escalation in the rate of exposure is a cause for concern. More than 75% of the children who were exposed to marijuana were under 3 years old. They ingested it in the form brownies, cookies and other foods containing the drug.

“Any state considering marijuana legalization needs to include child protection in its laws from the very beginning,” Gary Smith, senior author of the study and director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s, told Science Daily.

His co-author Henry Spiller says the high instances of marijuana ingestion are most likely due to the popularity of marijuana-laced food.

“Very young children explore their environments by putting items in their mouths, and foods such as brownies and cookies are attractive,” he said.

## Transcript

[00:28] We don't wanna break the law. We
[00:32] don't wanna do this, we have to do this. Cannabis
[00:38] extract is illegal. And that's what my product is. I never
[00:43] stop thinking about the legal issues. As I cross into
[00:46] every state, that's breaking a lot of federal law. I
[00:50] don't believe that any of the law enforcement agencies
[00:52] want to lock out what is potentially a last treatment
[00:55] option for these patients. [ NOISE ] It's okay. It's okay.
[00:55] There still
[01:02] are many, many children and adults with epilepsy who
[01:06] can't be controlled with existing therapies. I cannot
[01:10] recommend using a medical marijuana product. It was
[01:13] worth it because it helps my daughter. If it's helping
[01:17] kids, why isn't it. We thought, well, why can't you do it?
[01:21] [ MUSIC ] [ NOISE ] [ MUSIC ] This
[01:38] is about as big of a piece as we'd wanna cut at once.
[01:42] This is our first day of harvest. [ INAUDIBLE ] in here,
[01:43] that's the problem. Say we get this big girl [ NOISE ]
[01:43] Each plant
[01:48] is a whole- plant extract, so we have to cut the plant.
[01:52] And
[01:55] final,
[01:57] so we'll kinda put the next plant about right here. So
[02:00] as long as we all know. The size that we're cutting for
[02:02] has to dry, fully dry before we're able to process it in
[02:06] the lab. Now you're through that. Now you can start on
[02:09] the next one. Here is the next one. I've got a, I've
[02:14] got a really nice one We stepped onto the field June
[02:18] 3rd. Is that your sandal? I'll fill this
[02:22] one up. Perfect. We planted
[02:26] 17 acres with an estimated 36, 000 plants. [ MUSIC ]
[02:34] We'll likely serve several thousand patients with this.
[02:37] These grow big. [ MUSIC ] Which is good. My name is
[02:41] Penn Madison and I am the head manager here at
[02:45] Stanley Brothers Social Enterprises. You need to change
[02:46] hands. [ LAUGH ] [ INAUDIBLE ] And
[02:51] we grow medical hemp. [ MUSIC ] We
[03:01] have a little girl, Nellie, who's two and a half. Yeah. Is
[03:01] that one hurting? Are you getting
[03:05] frustrated?
[03:07] Huh?
[03:09] She is intractable apolopsy. That's a debilitating form
[03:13] of epilepsy. One in 26 people will have epilepsy in
[03:16] their lifetime. Three million Americans have epilepsy.
[03:20] 50 million people world wide have epilepsy. It is one of
[03:24] the most common neurologic disorders. Yeah. We had
[03:32] no idea wether or not medical help would work. What
[03:36] we did know is that, everything else we had tried had
[03:38] not. We'd seen specialist all over the country. We
[03:43] tried multiple anti- epileptic drugs. Hm- mm.
[03:48] Yeah? I
[03:57] would say in the last year too we have seen an
[03:59] increase in children that are here from out of state.
[04:03] That have been brought by families to try variants of
[04:07] medical marijuana. [ MUSIC ]
[04:11] The laws in Tennessee didn't allow us to have
[04:15] this delivered to us there. It didn't allow this to be an
[04:19] option to give it to her there. [ MUSIC ] So the option
[04:24] of moving to Colorado to pursue medical marijuana
[04:28] was a viable option for us. And so we chose to do that.
[04:31] [ NOISE ]
[04:34] [ MUSIC ]
[04:37] We start with tissue culture plants. They'll be grown for
[04:41] their entire season. When
[04:44] they're ripe they'll be harvested. Dried. Once
[04:51] they're cured right they will come back to the lab for
[04:53] extraction. In which we will extract all of the valuable
[04:57] parts of the plant into a fine oil. Then that oil
[05:01] is used to create specific dilutions of a dietary
[05:05] supplement. That they'll be
[05:17] called Charlotte's
[05:25] Web. [ MUSIC ] At nine
[05:46] months old she was sleeping 20 hours a day. Kids that
[05:50] age like to grab things. Swat at things. We would have
[05:54] things hanging over her she would have no interest.
[05:57] Finally at about her nine month appointment. After we
[05:58] were able to find a neurologist to see us relatively
[06:01] quickly. He was fairly confident that [ INAUDIBLE ]
[06:04] spasms. She was barely able to grow in function,
[06:07] because she was having upwards of 200 seizures a
[06:10] day. Seizures are incredibly
[06:14] debilitating but there's also a lot of other things that
[06:17] can happen with a cognitive problems. Depression,
[06:20] anxiety [ MUSIC ]
[06:23] Hello!
[06:26] Hello!
[06:28] [ UNKNOWN ]
[06:31] Three
[06:34] times
[06:36] a
[06:39] day.
[06:41] [ UNKNOWN ]
[06:44] I see patients here two days a
[06:48] week on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and these are the
[06:50] consultation days, and also days where people come
[06:53] to pick up their medicine. In order to be ready for
[06:56] those two days, I spend. It's probably about another
[07:00] four days in lab making oil. Or with my brothers at the
[07:04] girl facilities. He was our first state licensee for
[07:08] the charlotte's web products. And it's fitting that he is a
[07:11] parents of a child with [ UNKNOWN ] syndrome. I am
[07:14] involved in this industry because of my daughter who is
[07:17] ten years old now and her name is Emily. Who has
[07:20] intractable epilepsy. [ NOISE ] It's okay.
[07:25] It's okay. It's okay.
[07:30] At her worst times, she's had a hundred to a hundred
[07:34] and fifty seizures a day. We've been told by a couple
[07:38] of doctors that we have to go home and enjoy our
[07:40] daughter as much as we can cause there is really not
[07:42] much hope left or anything else that will help so I spent
[07:46] a lot of time in California trying to find this medicine
[07:49] and you know I didn't have a lot of luck .>> We
[07:52] started doing our own research to see. What type of
[07:54] side effects? But why not try it. I just put my daughter
[07:58] on a medication that could've killed her. If it doesn't
[08:01] work, you put it to rest and we can move on with our
[08:04] lives. But if it does, nothing else has.
[08:10] Not everybody can come to Colorado, so there has to
[08:14] be something. Else we can do. My daughter
[08:18] was not doing good. She was having seizures, and I
[08:20] knew that there could be something that helps her, but
[08:22] I can't bring it to California, or I can't transport it. so it
[08:25] was very frustrating. It's okay.
[08:29] In the state where we live they do have a medical
[08:32] marijuana program. However, even if you were able to
[08:35] get through all of the bureaucratic hoops they have set
[08:38] up, the appropriate product for our daughter is
[08:42] not available. [ MUSIC ] Here I am, desperate
[08:46] father. I have to help my daughter. I need to have this
[08:49] for my daughter. So what is it gonna take? One thing
[08:52] led to another. How're you guys doing? [ INAUDIBLE ]
[08:53] We're doing okay. I am now the director of the
[08:56] foundation's California chapter. And that was the only
[09:00] way to do this legally. [ MUSIC ]
[09:05] I wish. When Emily started having seizures,
[09:11] ten years ago, somebody in this position. Existed.
[09:15] Where somebody would sit down across from me and
[09:17] say, this is what failed for people. This is what didn't.
[09:20] This is what others are doing. We were scared, one, to
[09:24] pick up and move and leave everything behind, but we
[09:28] weren't sure it was gonna work. Even in Colorado, the
[09:31] waiting list for Charlotte's Web oil is quite long, so it's
[09:34] not like you can just. Fly or drive to Colorado, pick it
[09:37] up and come home. Which apart from violating federal
[09:40] and state laws, It's just you can't do it.
[09:50] In California we found, an apartment, that we could do
[09:54] a short term rental. When we started giving her the
[09:56] marijuana in the first couple of doses even, we saw
[09:59] changes. She became more verbal. She became a lot
[10:04] more attentive. She was a lot more awake than she
[10:06] had been. [ LAUGH ] After the summer we wanted to
[10:10] give a longer time for our trial. So we made a decision
[10:14] that we were going to. Bring a supply back with us.
[10:18] [ MUSIC ]. They were able to identify a supplier in
[10:21] California my understanding who had what appears to
[10:24] be a very good product of oil high in CBD and they
[10:28] didn't want to fly with it, so apparently drove cross
[10:31] country to get their child this medication. Well
[10:35] I never stopped thinking about the legal issues. As I
[10:35] cross into every state I tried to make sure
[10:40] to be very careful. Any time I was tired I took a break.
[10:45] My daughter is doing great. She's now down to about
[10:48] 20 a day. She's far more interactive with the world
[10:52] around her. She has far more enjoyment. She's not
[10:56] playing beside the world, she's playing in the world
[10:59] where she lives now. And that, to me, is everything.
[11:03] Fortunately, that child is doing quite well. And they've
[11:06] gone through a huge pilgrimage to get that oil and,
[11:10] what appears to be, help their daughter. [ MUSIC ]
[11:16] I actually haven't heard anything about you know,
[11:18] negative potential side effects in the media. And I think
[11:22] it's a really important thing for parents to know is this
[11:25] is not risk free. It's not something I told them to do but
[11:29] when they said they were determined to do it, I was
[11:31] supportive, as their physician, to say listen, I will be
[11:34] here to guide you on helping to adjust the therapy and
[11:38] monitor the other drugs and, and the girls' epilepsy.
[11:41] Overall, at least so far, our experience here at
[11:44] Children's Colorado has been that, that only about a
[11:47] third of families are really reporting that they see much
[11:50] of an improvement in their children. And of those
[11:53] children when we look at brain waves, none of those
[11:56] are we really seeing the kind of EEG change that we
[11:59] would expect from a really effective medication. We
[12:02] also don't understand how marijuana products will
[12:05] interact with other medicines these children are on.
[12:09] Concerning things that we have seen in general, her
[12:11] seizures have gotten worse. Severe enough to require
[12:14] them to go into our intensive care unit. We absolutely
[12:19] don't have the scientific data and I think if I could make
[12:21] one point to the parents, it is that you need
[12:26] science. The other concern with the artisanal
[12:30] products is that we don't always know what's in them.
[12:34] They vary from batch to batch, they vary from grower
[12:37] to grower. [ MUSIC ] Unfortunately,
[12:41] we're giving it out to large numbers of very vulnerable
[12:45] people like children. Without knowing what the correct
[12:47] dose it. Without knowing what kind of epilepsy it's
[12:51] going to work for. Most of my critics, especially in the
[12:55] medical field, are critics that are criticizing lack of
[12:58] research. I blame them. That's their job. You're a
[13:03] researcher. You're a scientist. You're a doctor. Why
[13:05] don't you research this? These procedures are gaining.
[13:07] Something stronger. The schedule one listing for
[13:11] marijuana has made it much more difficult to do
[13:14] research on marijuana, there is no question about that.
[13:17] Really all hemp products lie in a gray area. We
[13:22] are faced with a bit of a moral dilemma. We do have
[13:26] some legal area to operate here. But at the same time,
[13:29] that's up for interpretation. [ MUSIC ]
[13:33] The
[13:35] supply is gonna run out, because we only brought back
[13:37] six months. There are options. Realm of Caring is
[13:40] talking about challenging the law and sending
[13:44] medication across state lines. Right, one more on the
[13:46] end and let's get it there. This product, this fall.
[13:50] Coming from hemp regulations, this will be our first
[13:53] time to actually be able to ship this to patients across
[13:56] the country. If it works, it would make a huge
[13:58] difference because then we could have it delivered
[14:01] right to our house. Cannabis [ UNKNOWN ]
[14:05] and that's what my product is. The last. Drug
[14:09] enforcement agency position that I read stated that
[14:14] hemp products made for human consumption, which
[14:17] have any detectable THC in them, are technically a
[14:21] violation of federal law. Now, however, they go on to
[14:23] say that they realize that all of these products exist
[14:26] throughout grocery store shelves throughout America.
[14:29] At this point in time I don't feel like the legal landscape
[14:32] has us such that people are going to come in with guns
[14:36] and handcuffs and try and shut down something that is
[14:40] providing hope and options for people.
[14:46] We don't want to break the law. We don't want to do
[14:49] this, we have to do this. How can kids not get
[14:54] what they need? I mean
[14:59] anyone you talk to about it, it's like, it's ridiculous. If
[15:04] it's helping kids, why isn't it. Reba
[15:08] like why can't you do it? [ MUSIC ] Everything has to
[15:12] start somewhere [ MUSIC ]
