Katie Dodson and Robert Boren (Image: Facebook) Oklahoma City, OK — Last month, Oklahoma lawmakers came to their partial senses and legalized cannabis oil as a means of medication. HB 2154 or “Katie’s Bill,” named after Katie Dodson, was ceremonially signed into to law yesterday by Governor Mary Fallin on Katie’s 11th birthday. Despite being a staunch advocate against legalizing this part of nature, Governor Fallin finally caved to the pressure and allowed for the legalization of cannabis oil only. Her daily doses of potent pharmaceuticals had put Katie in a daze. She began to regress and barely spoke, according to her family. However, all that changed in May when Katie began taking the now legal CBD oil. “She is talking more and she is talking in complete sentences, her reaction time is much quicker,” said Kelli Dodson, Katie’s mother. According to News 9 Oklahoma, Kelli says other pieces are also fitting into place. Katie immediately started sleeping through the night. And she hasn’t had a seizure for over a month. Katie’s friend, Robert Boren also suffered from debilitating seizures. Together, their families have been pushing for the legalization of CBD oil and it has finally paid off. Robert also started taking the oil immediately after it became legal and he hasn’t had a seizure since. According to News 9, his recent checkup revealed a totally clear EEG. He is also off all other medications. Both families couldn’t be happier and explained that the results from this amazing plant are all they hoped for and more. They said that this plant has not only saved the lives of their children, but changed all of their lives too. “Yesterday morning, I was making breakfast for her and she said ‘Mommy, come here,’ and I came over to the kitchen and she said ‘Mommy, had anyone ever told you what a wonderful mommy you are?’ and I will remember that moment and cherish it for the rest of my life,” said Kelli. It is important to note that all children do not respond the same to the same type of CBD oil as there are many different forms of epilepsy. There are more than 42 types of THC and CBD that assist with other forms of epilepsy and diseases. However, denying sick children and adults the potential to treat themselves is criminal and states like Oklahoma are finally realizing the sick nature of prohibition.

Apparently there is more to the story - From the comments: It is only legalized for some children with epilepsy. Mainly it was passed to benefit one legislator's relative. It is far from legal for anyone else that is sick. And no THC cannabis oil is legal for anyone. This law was pure cronyism. Kelli Krier Dodson Its nice that you are politically connected and can get a special law passed that just benefits your child and children like them. But, what about adult epileptics? What about people with other illnesses that need cannabils oil with THC as well as CBD or even High THC low CBD oil? Or what about those that would benefit from the plant not the oil? I'm glad your child is helped. I am disgusted a legislator created a law that only benefits a small group of those that would be helped by medical cannabis. I am disgusted he created a law that helps a relative but ignores adult epileptics. I am disgusted by how politics works in our state and how corrupt and cowardly the legislature is. Once again, the people we elect to represent us only do what benefits themselves. Wait a minute! Aren't you the one who said it should be legal for children to operate a business without a city license? You said nothing about adults.
Regardless of who you are or your stands on MJ,you have to admit this is great news. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)

The longest journey starts with the first step,flutterby! Celebrate the small step that has been taken because it will open the eyes and hearts of the vast majority of the people who have no opinion one way or the other on legalizing weed. It may take a little time,but sooner or later this is going to become accepted therapy for the people it can help.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
