Parents will do anything for their sick child to get better, even if it means searching for

unconventional forms of treatment outside of mainstream health care programs. The medical

marijuana industry is facilitating this trend, for parents who are on the hunt for a specific type

of cannabinoid: cannabidiol (CBD) in the form of oils and extracts.

The non-psychoactive compound of marijuana provides a plethora of benefits for patients

diagnosed with epilepsy, tumors, autism and Crohns disease. Since CBD-potent products cant

get you high, kids can safely partake in the medicine without fear of debilitating side effects.

CannaKids, a California-based organization that specializes in educating and connecting parents

with medicinal marijuana treatments, is currently pioneering the green movement that has

received plenty of attention from global media outlets, including CNN, BBC and Vice. The

cooperatives objectives involve providing parents with alternatives to traditional treatments

offered by doctors, such as chemotherapy or prescription drugs (in most cases, CBD is used in

tandem with other medical procedures). They also serve as a voice for parents who are bullied

by groups against cannabis.

The organization offers their own CBD extract line, also known as Honey Gold Cannabis Oil.

With all of their products carefully lab tested (by Steep Hill Labs and SC Labs) and handled by

PhD scientists, parents can be sure that their kids only ingest the best and safest forms of the

organic medicine. During production, specialists test for pesticides and dangerous micro-

biologicals. This is a salient step in the process, due to recent issues with contaminated CBD

products from other manufacturers containing molds and unlisted, foreign ingredients.
