RoyDempsey, your reliance on a Google search and an abbreviated example of a year plus old Denver Post article isn’t instilling much confidence in your knowledge of the topic. As such, I’ve included a link and snippet from the same publication below, posted Tuesday and updated yesterday. I believe we can both agree no one is advocating recreational cannabis use by minors.

You recently worked for a candidate with a strong pharmaceutical background that stressed the population decrease of Warwick. Perhaps those that left were recreational and medical marijuana users looking for greener pastures.

The Berg

Colorado has become a promised land for desperate parents trying to save their children.

In the past year-and-a-half, hundreds of families from across the country have uprooted their lives and moved here for a special kind of medical marijuana. They arrive with children suffering from incurable forms of epilepsy, life-threatening disorders with seizures that not only strike every day but also restrain their kids at the developmental level of toddlers.

The medical marijuana treatment they seek — low in THC and rich in a compound called CBD — is unregulated, and there is little research to guide parents on how often it works. But the happy anecdotes of families who have already tried it encourage even more families to move, creating a growing community of parents who are praying that a federally illegal drug will succeed where traditional pharmaceuticals have failed.
