Medical cannabis is legally used across the country in 20 states. It has been approved to treat the symptoms of glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, several forms of cancer, HIV/AIDS, drug dependencies, ALS, Crohn’s disease, diabetes and seizures.

The Rocky Mountain High medical cannabis company’s youngest patient was a three month old child suffering from an average of 20 seizures a day. According to Rocky Mountain High’s CEO, David Weisser, with the use of a small dose of a non-psychoactive CBD tincture the child became seizure free.

The use of medical cannabis, especially for infants, has been a controversial and polarizing debate since Proposition 215 legalized the use of cannabis for medical purposes back in 1996 in the state of  California.

The last state to join the list of legalized states was Illinois on August 1, 2013.
