RE: Indiana Family Suing CPS For The Freedom To Treat Their Daughter With CBD
This story is of particular interest to me because I have a daughter who is prone to seizures, is currently using CBD oil, and we are in the process of moving to Indiana. We've had enough issues here in NY, despite medical cannabis being "legal", so we're already used to having to skirt the system. It's insane that any government would make a child such as mine suffer, much less one that has an even more severe condition.
I agree, it's madness. is the CBD oil the only thing that she is taking ?
Currently, yes. She suffers largely from absence seizures, where she just kind of zones out for 10 -20 seconds. They were always sporadic, but often enough that we felt something needed to be done. My wife argued with the doctors about having her try CBD before they finally "legalized" medical cannabis in NY 2-3 years ago. Even since then, most doctors were hesitant to prescribe it. They always wanted her to try the pharmaceutical stuff first, despite us pointing out the side effects (or lack thereof, in the case of CBD), even after the law changed. Finally went outside the system.
She is by no means cured, but we saw a marked difference shortly after starting her on a daily regiment. We've adjusted the dosages and finally found some doctors who were much more open to this option, so we're still figuring things out. She is in much better shape, though, which to us, obviously, is all that matters. My wife actually takes it, too, for pain issues related to Rheumatoid Arthritis, so we are huge proponents of CBD oil on principle and our strong anecdotal evidence.
Dood, I live in Terre Haute, IN just about 10 miles or less from Illinois. When you get here, just keep your head down, have an out of state connection, and don't tell your Dr. any more than they need to know. Stay "out of the system" and you should be fine. Illinois has legal CBD and medical MJ, I hear you can get the CBD over there, over the counter. Used to be able to get it here as well, until our "conservative Republican" legislature struck it down, most likely due to meddling by Big Pharma. Did you know that Eli Lilly & Co. is headquartered in Indianapolis? Likely the #1 reason it's had trouble here being legalized. Our politicians think that CBD can be treated and heated, causing a release of THC. Dumb Asses 😡 😠 🤬
Thanks for the info! Yeah, I've been following the idiocy in the Indiana legislature about CBD for awhile, since I knew we were headed there eventually. Like I said, we've grown accustomed to having to work outside the system, but I will make sure to tell the wife not to even bring it up when interviewing new doctors for the kids. Luckily i have some friends in the surrounding states, too, so worst case i'll just have to plan some extra visits.
We do normally order from a company that we've grown to like a lot. From what I can recall, though, most companies won't even ship stuff like that there because of the stupid laws. Or am I remembering that incorrectly?
