That child is beautiful!!! Hope he says "I love you" someday!!!
My name jaeden and I 420 every day nigga bruh
If it keeps them alive, it’s a better option.
I’m a little late, but cannabis is much safer then any drug they will give him to help his problems. And don’t start the shit about cannabis, it has been used for centuries and has so many health benefits it’s crazy
In Dubai? Literally nowhere… Its highly illegal.
most doctors are reps for the pharma industry
Stunting brain growth isn’t something of minor concern.
My daughter is 14 months old and is having seizures as well which has an unknown causes. Doctors have diagnosed my daughter with 3-4 different diagnosis already but couldn’t point out what is really the final diagnosis. I live here in Dubai, where can I get and buy this medical marijuana. I need them for my kid. Please help us.
I have news for the good doctor. Severe illnesses also have long term effects and death associated with them. Use a little logic. Cannabis is benign as to causing death. Got it?
Is there an update on this boy?
if we all use cannabis ,,,,big pharmacy would lose lots of cash,,,,this kid 20 tablets a day to 1half ,,,,,,,,who would lose out,,,,,,,big pharmacy and drinks ind
One day it will legal in our country
It has been proven to stunt development of the brain if used heavily by minors. I don’t agree with kids ‘smoking’ cannabis. This being said I am all for the medical use cannabis for anyone of any age.
Yes, there’s not much research. But cannabis has been used as a medicine for thousands of years – maybe that should tell us something.
The lack of research is because of corrupt government/corporate powers who put profit over human life.
All the best to this father and his beautiful son. Corrupt laws shouldn’t keep people from healing themselves.
Legalize & save lives.
Agreed, and hey, I am in Oklahoma….not necessarily regarded as very "forward" thinking state. I believe in my heart that when the truth of the miraculous power of this plant, given to us by God, a lot of people are going to rightfully be pissed off. I can honestly say that I have never used it at all, but will wholeheartedly, in fear and trembling before God, promote it as truly a fabulous natural medicine…along with many other uses.
What an amazing story. I am so glad this family is doing better. I hope the Dad dose not get messed with for doing what seams to be best for his Son’s health
I meant later years
i support this all day
LET THE KID GET HIGH
i successfully used indica to treat my leaky gut, impotency, anxiety while sativa for depression. no other medicine helps so much. no wonder why the pharmeceutical companies kept this away from public.
This father has done the right thing!!
Doctors: we have little knowledge on the affects, duh I wonder why that would be!?, btw, you particular doctors must be incredibly ignorant of the research that has gone into this, hope I never have one of you as my doctor seriously!
The Irony is people are against cannbis for children yet are fine with the Drug Topomax. That drug has brutal side effects and even killed people. Anti convulsants are far worse than any possible cannbis side effects. Yet no one points that out
Oh I know, it’s better for you to spend hundreds on a substance that you will soon be dependent on.
There’s so much wrong with this world and personal freedom is a big factor.
The doctors that don’t suggest are just narrow minded and stuck in the fear campaign days. Side effects of Marijuana? Compared to what the side effects of the synthetic heroin they prescribe every day? Or how you cant take a sleeping pill without "risk of suicide" "heart failure" "coma or death" Marijuana, your so scary.
Would you hold a different opinion on other prescription drugs children get if we were to call ritalin/adderal medical cocaine? or vicodin and oxycodone medical heroin? If the child actually has a need for it then give it to him, you can’t say well we can’t treat him because he’s a kid. We prescribe much more dangerous drugs to really young kids.
i can tell you one thing if you use thc. there isnt going to be a commercial the next year saying if you haved used thc you may be entitled to a settlement ..wanna know why cuz thc aint going to hurt ya
I repeat myself here. Backward thinking people in places where decisions are made will have a lot to answer for. They are allowing people to suffer and die that could be helped using cannabis as a medicine. Change it to at least schedule 2, allow extensive research, and then realize the whore of cannabis prohibition is actually a beautiful virgin.
That’s amazing
You would have to be crazy if you were against him. This is a drug that is meant for this type of condition. You’d have to be a monster to take it away from him.
Medical marijuana is a miracle
You didn’t read the entire context of my conversation. :/
HAHA THE FIRST FEW SECCONDS OF THE VIDEO IS FUNNY
I think this is great! However is a catch 22 because he might develop a dependency in his layer years….. I hope I am wrong!!
Indeed, someone is talking nonsense. I am a chemical biologist. You are a moronic fool with a few personal experiences.
Please read what I wrote, and get yourself educated.

Yet they would rather gave children antidepressants and crap that makes these poor children worse
If you are against this, you are pure evil.
state sponsored drug dealers are the biggest criminals, learn this lesson; its much more profitable to treat a patient than it is to cure them
Good job Dad ! By the way, I’m sure the words would be nice to hear but a kiss, a hug and the look of your kid is I LOVE YOU
As if all the drugs out there went through long trials before letting kids take them long term…and then some are pulled off the market even with the ‘rigorous’ trials.
This beautiful plant is magical
That docter is a lying fuck. the univsity of holland has reserched the shit out of marijuana and foud it perfectly fine.
aaawwww amen
