Florida boy got rid of epilepsy with Cannabis oil

A young boy from US state of Florida, Burno Delgadillo, suffered as many as 300 seizures a day. But a daily intake of medical cannabis oil prevented them allowing young boy to live a normal life.

According to her mother, Jacel Delgadillo, cannabis helped his son to recover from the chronic disease after numerous treatments failed and even made his condition worse.

"He has been through so many medications that had put him through vegetative states," she told Al Jazeera.

She took a risk of being arrested by giving her son with a dosage that exceeds Florida’s legal limits of medicinal cannabis.

"I do not care what anybody says. I would rather have my child on medical cannabis and have him be a child than seeing his body seize and tremble every other minute," she added.

However, Florida is going to ease medicinal cannabis restrictions after 71% voters supported an amendment that takes affect from Tuesday.

With more and more scientific research along with reported anecdotes as Burno’s improvement suggest to cannabis potential to cure a wide range of illnesses, an increasing number of US states are legalizing cannabis for recreation and medical purposes.

More than half of 50 US states approve cannabis medical use, yet federal government still classifies it as prohibitive drug, which has choked research into its medical capabilities.
