Cancer
Crohn's
Lou Gehrig's
Mitochondrial disease
MS
Parkinson's
Seizure disorders
Sickle Cell

The catch is there is no where in GA that you can purchase this oil legally.

Looks like they are taking that up in 2016 Session.

From what I read families are more than happy to drive to a state that will fill the prescription for them. They will take the chance on getting caught during the drive. It's worth it for their kids, families.

Hi Debi,

These catch-22 laws are so strange, aren't they?
I am glad people can get what they need.

We just had a story done on a young lady, still in elementary school. She has intractable seizures. She has great seizure control by vaping the oil. While this state allows this, the school enjoys some federal funding. Her mom has to go to the school, take her off the school property and allow her to vape.
The school can lose any federal funding for allowing her to vape on school property.

It's not even okay if the school nurse oversees her vaping the oil during the school day. Nobody likes this, including the school administration; yet, they also cannot afford to lose federal funding.

Love Ya, Debi.
