Hundreds Of Families Move To Colorado, Desperate For Medical Marijuana
In this Feb. 7, 2014 photo, a small clone of a special strain of medical marijuana known as Charlotte's Web grows at a facility in a remote spot in the mountains west of Colorado Springs, Colo. Charlotte's Web is a proprietary strain of marijuana in which the psychoactive THC has largely been bred out, and the other cannabinoid compounds thought to be medically useful accentuated. Increasing anecdotal evidence that the pot strain is helping some children with epilepsy has led more than 100 families to relocate to Colorado for treatment since last summer, when success stories about Charlotte's Web began circulating via social media.
