A US Food and Drug Administration advisory committee on Thursday unanimously recommended approval of an epilepsy drug that would be the first plant-derived cannabidiol medicine for prescription use in the United States.

The FDA will vote in June whether to approve the drug, Epidiolex, an oral solution, for the treatment of severe forms of epilepsy in a small group of patients. The FDA has approved synthetic versions of some cannabinoid chemicals found in the marijuana plant for other purposes, including cancer pain relief.


I bet Latrin knows more than the FDA though.

That's the way they want it: As long as they're getting paid for the chemicals, it's fine. But when people want to smoke/vape and not pay a pharmaceutical company for a pill, oh no. Schedule 1 drug.

Investing in quality "heirloom" seed will see a huge return on the investment over the coming years.
