“Medical marijuana is gaining acceptance, but could it even help kids? Saying he was ‘quite a skeptic 5 or 6 years ago’, Dr. William Courtney continued that ‘my youngest patient is 8 months old, and had a very massive centrally located inoperable brain tumor.’ The child’s father pushed for non-traditional treatment utilizing cannabis. ‘They were putting cannabinoid oil on the baby’s pacifier twice a day, increasing the dose… And within two months there was a dramatic reduction, enough that the pediatric oncologist allowed them to go ahead with not pursuing traditional therapy.’ The tumor was remarkably reduced after eight months of treatment.”
