Marijuana Saves Child With Seizures; Others Must Wait

Parents of a 5-yr-old Colorado girl who had severe seizures say cannabis has saved their child's life. Footage of the child before and after she was given cannabis was shown in a documentary, "Weed," which aired Sunday on CNN and was hosted by Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon. Buoyed by previous published reports and You-Tube videos of the child's remarkable recovery, several New Jersey parents have been pushing for the opportunity to give cannabis to their seriously ill children. They want Christie to sign a bill that would pave the way.
