The two major components of medical marijuana are also discussed. The Purpose of Medical Marijuana I read a story about a little girl who was getting brain damage from multiple seizures. Her name is Charlotte, daughter of Matt and Paige Figi; she is a true miracle child. From the time she was born until the age of two, she had multiple seizures a day and would last for thirty minutes at a time, if not longer. People, I am talking fifty seizures attacking a baby trying to sleep! By the age of 5, doctors and hospitals had tried everything. They were ready to put her in an induced coma, just so her little body could get some rest. Her parents were able to get her a medical marijuana card in Colorado. As soon as she took her first dose, the seizures immediately...
