Over the years, there have been a growing number of people who have come to see CBD as a sort of miracle drug for the benefits that many families claim they have seen firsthand with their children, after opting to embrace the substance. For many families and individuals, this substance has changed their life for the better and brought a peace to their life that they couldn't find anywhere else, having exhausted a variety of medical options that were available to them. For many families who have children suffering from epilepsy, *they have tried everything that is available or recommended by their doctor,* and still couldn't find something to help. That is until they turned to CBD, which has brought some of them a great deal of benefit. And it isn't only children who are suffering from epilepsy who have been able to find remedy with CBD, there are a myriad of different circumstances where people have been able to improve their standard of living after finding CBD products. One woman from Wisconsin, Amber Mason, says that CBD oil helped her eventually stop taking all of the narcotics that were prescribed to her as a result of multiple surgeries. And under the threat that authorities might soon crackdown on the product in the region, Mason says that it's absolutely ridiculous, and she's right. https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2018/01/18/10/09/stop-3089945_1280.jpg ## The DEA still regards CBD as a schedule 1 substance and it's rather astounding that they still want to side with the position that there isn't any medical benefit to be had when it comes to CBD. Authorities are still active in issuing warnings that the possession and sale of CBD products is still illegal in a majority of circumstances. ### Would authorities in Wisconsin rather see Mason and others turn to pharmaceutical medications which bring with them a host of different potential and negative side effects? Though CBD oil doesn't come without concerns as well, because of the increasing popularity for CBD products there has been an issue with counterfeit products and some claim to have gotten sick after taking fake CBD oil. A variety of shops that sell the product *have already been notified of the potential for counterfeit oils to reach their shelves* and it would be within their best interest to make sure that it doesn't make it into the hands of their customers. https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/09/21/19/30/cannabis-2773112_1280.jpg # Wasted Potential.... Many farmers had plans to plant industrial hemp because they had thought it could be used to go toward producing CBD oil products, but with the recent crackdown from authorities they are left wondering what to do. ## There is *so much potential benefit* that could come to people all over the country and the state is standing in the way of that by trying to make the decision for people about what they should put into their body, what they should grow, and what they should trade. There are children who have been having dozens of seizures daily until they turned to CBD, which they say was able to truly make a difference. One 11-year old boy named Billy Caldwell, who had suffered up to 100 seizures *in a single day at one point*, was allegedly able to go over 300 days without suffering from any seizure thanks to his CBD use. For those who have seen the changes firsthand that CBD can bring, it's been nothing short of amazing; as they describe. It's a tragedy for authorities in any region to punish anyone for trying to access CBD oil. If our choice to consume CBD oil or some other CBD product or cannabis etc, and it doesn't impede *anyone else or their property*, then why should that action be infringed? Initiating violence in such a circumstance, *doesn't promote the safety of anyone*. A child can potentially save himself from suffering hundreds of seizures by taking a little bit of oil, or he can be left suffering because some people somewhere else say he shouldn't have it. We don't have to *criminalize his actions* just because we might disagree with them. There is no justification to stop people from using CBD or cannabis etc, whether it does or doesn't bring them medicinal benefits. For the sake of so many that could find benefit and find peace, we need to stop the madness.
