Ashlyn Impton, 9, was born with a rare genetic disorder that causes constant devastating seizures.

"Every seizure she has affects her brain," says her mother Amber. "It's taken it's told she's developmentally behind because of the seizures she's had. She can't feed herself, she can't talk."

Amber says something had to give after trying over 10 different medications over the last several years.

Amber says the medications had a sedating effect on Ashlyn and they came with a host of side effects. Out of desperation Amber and her husband researched CBD Oil.

"She's been seizure free since then," says Amber. "The challenge is that people think you're trying to get your kid high.

In reality ProMedica Dr. John Evanoff MD says "The CBD oils go into those receptors of the brain and help calm that area of the brain down." And Dr. Evanoff goes on to say "CBD oil is the psycho active but hallucinogenic portion of medical marijuana."

And for certain brain disorders, the effectiveness of CBD oil isn't in question, the reputation continues to be.

"It wouldn't be if it didn't come from Marijuana. I think the fact that it comes from marijuana is what's made it controversial not so much the chemical itself."
