Doctors gave boy 3 days to live, then his mother secretly gave him cannabis...

Both anecdotal evidence and clinical research are beginning to show the promise of cannabis in treating a variety of health issues.

The family recently appeared on the British talk show, This Morning, to discuss their experience.

Callie Blackwell’s son Deryn had been fighting leukemia followed by Langerhans cell sarcoma for four years — since the age of ten. Following doctors’ fourth and final attempt at a bone marrow transplant, they warned the family it was the last opportunity to save his life.
