Provide Cannabis Oil( a form of medical marijuana very low in THC) for kids with DEADLY forms of Epilepsy
The Issue
Every year hundreds of children are diagnosed with severe forms of epilepsy. My 18 month old daughter, Jaqie Angel, suffers from a deadly form of epilepsy due to a rare genetic disorder. She has had uncontrollable seizures since she was 5 months old and has 75-150 seizures daily. She's been on painful daily injections, ketogenic diet and every medicine known to man..except cannabis oil! She's on 4 different medicines right now(2 narcotics) but nothing works! Because of the laws here my baby is denied cannabis oil, the only thing that could possibly save her life and improve the quality of it. She deserves that chance, just like the other children here in Oklahoma suffering from multiple daily seizures. Seizures kill, any seizure could take a child's life.. Kids die ever day because of this! If you're diagnosed with severe epilepsy here in Oklahoma they're basically handing you a death sentence along with it because they refuse to treat our sick babies. It's difficult enough as a parent to find out your child has a life threatening illness then you have to come to grips with the devastating reality that your child may very well die if you don't move to Colorado or somewhere they actually care about our kids. Please sign this petition if you have a heart and you want to save the lives of these kids who have no choice but to suffer because Oklahoma says NO to Cannabis Oil to SAVE LIVES!! Our children don't have time to wait, they need this medicine now! My daughter needs this medicine now! We have to have a united voice for our children and all children in need of this medicine and DEMAND to be heard!! Don't let our children suffer! Sincerely, Brittany Hardy
