Marijuana Curing Seizures

     There is a new study trying to figure out how Marijuana can stop children from having seizures. A family heard about pot having CBD which helps with seizures but THC causes seizures so they thought if they could have low THC and high CBD then they would try to give their child this pot. These brothers made this plant called Charlotte's web and it has that exact mixture.  A family took a chance and gave it to their 5 year old child that would have a seizure everyday almost, and could only say a couple words and was in a wheelchair. Now she can say complete sentences and she is mobile and can run and jump and stuff. They don’t know why this has improved her but they are going to keep doing it while they try to find the study. They have supplied this drug to about 300 other patients and 2,000 others on a waiting list.

Methamphetamine

      On Monday of this week there was a suspicious package that was coming from California and being delivered to Hawaii. The California police got a search warrant and sent it to Hawaii so that when the pack is delivered they can look through it. They setup a fake ups guy that was actually a police man and gave it to where it was originally going.  Then that guy that received the package drove to a house about 20 miles away from where he lived, to give another guy the package and then the fake cop followed him out there and arrested them all. It was 2 pounds of meth hid inside of a mannequins head.

Caffeine is a Drug

      Last week there was a study proven that caffeine is a drug. It is addictive and could be considered a disorder for users. A college did research on how it affects people’s bodies and their reaction if asked to stop. Most people said it wasn't a problem to stop but that is only if you have one cup a day. The people that have 2 or 3 cups a day say that they can’t stop. It shows that they have side effects if they stop, such as nausea and headaches. Professors of this study have told people to cut back on their consumption of coffee and or caffeine.
