The Tale of Charlotte’s Web
The story of Charlotte's Web is a remarkable one, highlighting the transformative power of medical marijuana. It began in 2011 when a young girl named Charlotte Figi was diagnosed with a rare and severe form of epilepsy known as Dravet Syndrome. Despite trying a variety of medications, Charlotte continued to experience hundreds of seizures every week.
In their search for a solution, Charlotte's parents came across the Stanley brothers, a group of cannabis growers in Colorado who were developing a strain of marijuana that was high in cannabidiol (CBD) and low in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The Stanley brothers agreed to provide Charlotte with their new strain, which they kindly named Charlotte's Web.
The results were nothing short of miraculous.
Almost immediately, Charlotte's seizures decreased dramatically and her quality of life improved. She went from having hundreds of seizures a week to only a few a month. Her story quickly spread, and the demand for the Stanley brothers high-CBD strain skyrocketed. The demand was so great that the brothers eventually created a non-profit organization called the “Realm of Caring” to help other families gain access to medical marijuana.
The success of Charlotte's Web has also had a profound impact on the medical marijuana industry as a whole by increasing focus towards the potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis. It has also sparked a new wave of research into the medicinal properties of CBD, with numerous studies currently exploring its potential as a treatment for everything from epilepsy to anxiety to chronic pain.
