Demand for Low-THC Pot for Children Outpaces Nonprofit

Now that marijuana’s medical properties are becoming undeniable, particularly for cancer and epilepsy, more and more parents of sick kids are seeking out the healing herb and its extracts, sometimes relocating if the state they live in still has no accessible medical cannabis.

Obviously parents are not looking for meds that will get their kids high, luckily strains with low THC have been in development for years by the medical marijuana community, sometimes with sick children in mind, other times just for patients that do not want the high. One strain that stands out as suitable pot for children is Charlotte’s Web, bred by the Stanley Brothers at Realm of Caring here in Colorado.

Realm of Caring has become quite well-known, not just in Colorado but around the country. They were featured in Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s “Weed” CNN Special along with their most famous patient, Charlotte Figi. After the airing of Dr. Gupta’s show, parents of sick children from around the nation began coming to Colorado to find a cure for their kids, like Sierra and Landon Riddle. The demand for this very special strain of cannabis has gone through the roof, and the Stanley’s are having trouble keeping up.
