On June 25, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Epidiolex, a pharmaceutical drug that treats two rare forms of epilepsy with the pot-derived compound cannabidiol (also called CBD). That means the same government that prohibits pot because it supposedly “has no accepted medicinal use” is now officially recognizing a medical use for pot.
You probably already know that pot can be a powerful medicine. You live in a state that recognized the medical value of weed more than two decades ago. But now, for the first time, the FDA has agreed.
