Except the FDA has approved a marijuana based drug for epilepsy, a CBD, no
high, just medical benefits. The thing is, in places like Colorado, for now
they will not be allowed to sell it at dispensaries since it will be a
prescription, big pharma wasn't about to stand by and let people use things
like Jayden's Juice for that without an astronomical price involved, not
that it's cheap now. I look for that to happen a lot. I use the MJ salve for
my hands, works well for arthritis.
