President Donald Trump’s stance on legalizing medical cannabis is a big question mark, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions hates marijuana and has expressed his intent to stiffen drug penalties.

(ANTIMEDIA) Mainstream science is finally starting to accept what countless parents have known for years: cannabis treats childhood epilepsy.

On this month's #MaryjaneReport, Mr. Chris joins us to look at the anti-cannabis push in UK tabloids and the real science behind the plant; plus stories about mice, Marley and much more.

Marijuana has been associated with reducing seizures in people with epilepsy for years, but only now is the topic getting more of the scientific scrutiny it deserves. In a recent study, cannabidiol (CBD) reduced the number of seizures by half in a substantial number of children and adults with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), a severe form of epilepsy.
GW Pharmaceuticals, a developer of cannabidiol, sponsored the study.
