A new experimental cannabis-based drug has succeeded in treating children with Dravet syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy.
A study conducted by GW Pharmaceuticals has shown that Epidiolex can successfully treat children with Dravet syndrome. GW claimed that a 120-patient trial showed patients taking Epidiolex were able to reduce their convulsive seizures by 39 percent, compared with a reduction on placebo of 13 percent.
“This shows that cannabinoids can produce compelling and clinically important data and represent a highly promising new class of medications, hopefully in a range of conditions,” Chief Executive Justin Gover told Reuters.
Cannabinoids are active receptors found within the cannabis plant and the human body. According to the National Cancer Institute, cannabinoids “activate specific receptors found throughout the body to produce pharmacologic effects, particularly in the central nervous system and the immune system.” The NCI admits that cannabinoids “may have benefits” in the treatment of cancer-related side effects. A 2014 study published in the Molecular Cancer Therapeutics journal found that the two most common cannabinoids, THC and CBD, may do more than treat cancer-related side effects — they can inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Gover said GW will now request a meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss plans for regulatory approval for treating Dravet syndrome. GW already has approval for a cannabis-based multiple sclerosis treatment in more than 20 countries, but not the United States.
Although there are currently no FDA-approved therapies for Dravet syndrome, cannabis has been shown to treat epilepsy in the past, most notably with Charlotte Figi. Charlotte is best known as the face of Weed, the 2013 documentary that highlighted the success of using cannabis to reduce the seizures she experienced as the result of Dravet Syndrome, a rare and severe form of epilepsy that begins in infancy. The successful treatments have even led to the creation of a strain of cannabis which is low in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the most prominent cannabinoid and the one responsible for the plant’s psychoactive effects, and cannabidiol (CBD). Known as “Charlotte’s Web,” the strain is being used to treat patients around the country.
In 2015 I interviewed a former law enforcement officer from Southern California who formerly spent years locking people up for possession of cannabis and now helps patients get access to cannabis oils.
“Back in 2006 I started looking at this a little more aggressively, as an individual who was completely ignorant to what it was we were throwing people in jail for,” Howard said. “I didn’t understand it, wasn’t educated about it. The stigma that surrounds this beautiful culture is unfortunate, but it’s helping people and those who are being helped are now finding a voice and making themselves known.”

Epidiolex, Charlotte’s Web, and Howard Wendell are only a few examples of the way in which the failed War on Drugs is coming to an end. Perhaps as entrepreneurs and politicians recognize cannabis as the cash crop that it is, more cannabis-friendly policies will be enacted. As Activist Post recently reported, new data released by Marijuana Business Daily shows that the U.S. cannabis industry will add $44 billion to the nation’s economy by 2020. These estimates are based on the assumption that legalization and decriminalization of cannabis will continue.

“new cannabis drug” ? What is wrong with the original ? There is a plethora of evidence showing that cannabis oil cures several illnesses, including many cancers; is this just another ploy from BigPharma to try to hijack a natural cure anyone can grow in their garden in order to keep it illegal and garner HUGE profits for themselves ?
YouTube – Run From the Cure
– Leaf
And many many more
Of course, they can’t make money off of it if its not their idea. Its ignorance being spread around and people are believing it. Cannabis has been here the whole time has already been proven time and time again to help with so so many things.
Its the lack of self responsibility in most people, instead of taking their lives into their own hands and doing the research and looking for things to help them. Many unfortunately need someone else to tell them what works what doesn’t, what they can and can’t have.
Wake up people! Take your life in your own hands and take the things you need don’t want for them to be given to you.
Please cite those sources which show that cannabis oil cures several illnesses in humans, including many cancers?.
Kudos to those bringing cannabis forward.
Move to Colorado and imbibe for the health of it and the great sunsets.
A “new” drug, cannabis-based ? Another stupid side-step of the pharmacy industry. Developing an extract of cannabis into an drug that can be patented and sold as a patent medicine at many times its genuine value is the standard, pharma trick. For thousands of years, cannabis has been the herb that has the broadest healing powers of all herbs known to man. Mankind can can create hybrid variations but cannot improve the healing properties by developing extracts into patented drugs. Any synthetic drug made from cannabis will be less effective than the natural cannabis plant and will also create harmful reactions that the natural plant does not cause.
The evil government knew that cannabis cured cancer in 1974 and withheld it from the sheeple. Everyone who supports or enforces the illegal drugs war is a treasonous criminal and belongs at the end of a rope!
The entire government are evil treasonous criminals. The day of the next false flag using the nuke they stole in 2007 and blamed on Iran, America will be destroyed by Russia, China and the SCO. This is the war of Armageddon and you can know it is now because of Planet X and the toxic chemtrails that hide it every day. Planet X will end the war when it rips the earth apart again but 90% of Americans will be dead already. All planned by your evil government.
That is total BS! And you are citing the evil government web site and another that depends on not curing cancer for its funding? STFU and go learn something thats not government lies!

My name is Melissa Fraser, I’m 39 years old and I thought I’d share my story about living with epilepsy.I was 6 years old and my mum and I were hit by a car. We were both badly hurt from this horrible incident. Mum was pregnant and lost her twins, and I was pronounced dead in the ambulance where my older brother who was 11 at the time was, my brother witnessed this. So with mum and me both hurt, and me pronounced dead, things were touch and go. By the way, I don’t remember much.
So once we arrived at the Royal Children’s Hospital, they put me on support and took great care of me. I was in a coma and life support for 3 weeks, and the person I saw by my side when I came too was my mum.
So since I was 6 years old I’ve lived with Epilepsy. I’ll be honest, there are some days where I go, I don’t want to go on anymore, but I need to prove to everyone I’m here for a reason. Without my family’s support and the support from the Hospital and others I would died. After leaving the hospital my brother order Dr. Lawson product and I do not experience seizure anymore i was cured form it. So if you are in the same situation as me, believe me, I know it’s hard and someday you feel like giving up, but you’ve got to prove to the hates and the positive people around you that you can get through anything life throws at you. Thanks Doctor, contact him via his email [email protected]
Thank you for reading my story.
My son Michael Mirai was born with a rare type of epilepsy called Dravet syndrome, also known as Severe Myoclonic Epilepsy of Infancy (SMEI). This is a rare and catastrophic form of intractable epilepsy that begins in infancy. Individuals with SMEI suffer from intellectual disabilities as well as severe behavioral and development delays. All effort made to be sure he did not live his life miserably with deadly disease proof abortive. I have carried him to different Doctors, use different prescription drug all to no avail.
Dr. Lawson!!! (with tears of joy) I will forever be indebted to you. Your medicine worked perfectly well and now my son is cured of Epilepsy completely. contact him on via email [email protected]
Continue your good job……
Dr. Lawson, you will live long. I was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy
when I was 12. I’m now 33, and got cure 31.
Anticonvulsant medications kept my seizures under control for some years but I still experience symptoms of it often until I meet with you and you assured me of permanent solution to my long-standing problem. I was well aware that many were not so fortunate.
I knew I’m in the company of millions of epilepsy patients, though, who daily contend with the side effects of these medications. I was frequently apologizing to family, friends, and students for forgetting words and trains of thought . This “brain fog,” as I’ve come to call it over the years, is an obvious biological response to chemicals meant to slow neural activity. One particular aspect of my life that the brain fog has affected has been my creativity. Along with many people with epilepsy who are drawn to the arts, I’ve always wanted to be a creative writer. Some neurologists have said that those with temporal lobe epilepsy in particular have a “disorder” called a hypergraphia, a nearly uncontrollable compulsion to write.
Whether I have a disorder or not, I know only that I feel a need, a calling, to write and that the side effects of my medications have inhibited my ability to find the right words.But then, about six months ago, I came across an unconventional creative writing medium called blackout poetry. You take a page of a newspaper or a book and search for your own message within the words on the page.
What a relief ! So I could think any other thing only to tell people who are suffering from this deadly disease Seizure that there is a cure to it. Do not be blinded by Ignorance There is a cure to Seizure as I personally experienced it I have learn one thing in this little time of my distress not to ever give up.

Natural medicine for epilepsy.
My daughter started having seizures in 2008 and she was diagnosed later that year of epilepsy. We tried all the medications, drugs and therapy but it continued and she felt her end has come because she had seizure in front of the whole class this really made her angry, frustrated we usually used injections to keep her normal again and this do nor normally last long. All drugs failed and there was no improvement on her condition. A church member gave me Dr Humphrey’s contact and told me how he helped her neighbour using his medicine. I got the medicine and used it and it was really good, since then he has improved and the seizures are gone. If you need to contact him just reach him directly on [email protected] for advise and for the medicine.
We welcomed our daughter Olivia joyfully into this world on August 25, 2013. She appeared to be a happy, healthy newborn and for two months, she was. On October 24 our lives were forever changed when our sweet girl began having seizures. The next day, we learned why. Olivia was diagnosed with Aicardi Syndrome, an extremely rare and random genetic mutation. Her brain did not form properly, and in addition to other physical and developmental challenges we were told to expect Olivia to have seizures every day. EVERY DAY. And – with rare exception – she has. For almost two years.I learned about Lawson when I had search the whole herbs in town without no hope.
