WEBVTT FROM MAINE. PAUL: THE LANDSCAPE IN COLORADO IS REMARKABLY DIFFERENT FROM THE LANDSCAPE IN MAINE. THAT'S WHY KEN AND MEAGAN PATRICK DECIDED TO MOVE THEIR FAMILY FROM YORK COUNTY TO COLORADO SPRINGS ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO. THEY DIDN'T RELOCATE FOR THE MOUNTAIN VIEWS. THEY CAME HERE FOR BETTER ACCESS TO MEDICAL MARIJUANA EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN LEGAL IN MAINE SINCE 1999. >> WE WERE DESPERATE. WE REALLY THOUGHT OUR CHILD WAS GOING TO DIE. WE NEEDED SOMETHING ASAP. PAUL: THE PATRICKS' DAUGHTER ADDELYN WAS BORN IN 2012. PARTS OF HER BRAIN DIDN'T FULLY DEVELOP, AND AS AN INFANT, ADDY WAS HEAVILY MEDICATED, SLEEPING 22 HOURS A DAY, AND HAVING HUNDREDS OF SEIZURES. >> IN TERMS OF HER QUALITY OF LIFE, SHE HAD NONE. WE WERE BASICALLY CARRYING HER BODY THROUGH LIFE WITH US, AND AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT WAS A VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TIME. WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT SHE WAS GOING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THAT. PAUL: RELATIVES SUGGUESTED CANNABIS MAY HELP. THE PATRICKS WERE HORRIFIED BUT WERE WILLING TO TRY ANYTHING. >> WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF HER FIRST DOSE OF A HIGH CBD OIL, SHE SMILED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS. PAUL CBD IS ONE OF HUNDREDS OF COMPOUNDS FOUND IN CANNABIS. PEOPLE USE IT TO TREAT EPILEPSY. THE HIGH CBD OIL THE PATRICKS USE IS LOW IN THC ANOTHER COMPOUND IN CANNABIS AND THE ONE THAT GETS PEOPLE HIGH. THE SPECIFIC STRAIN THEY GIVE TO ADDY IS CALLED CHARLOTTE'S WEB. >> THIS WAS MEANT TO PROVIDE RELIEF TO FAMILIES. PAUL: WE JOINED THE PATRICKS AS THEY TOURED THE CHARLOTTE'S WEB FACILITY IN BOULDER. THE PATRICKS SAY RELOCATING TO COLORADO ELIMINATED SOME LEGAL HURDLES GIVING THEM CONSISTENT AND SAFE ACCESS TO THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT THAT WAS HELPING ADDY. >> WITH EPILEPSY KIDDOS, YOU NEED TO HAVE CONSISTENCY. YOU CAN'T KEEP CHANGING IT. TO GET THE MOST CONSISTENCY AND THE MOST NORMALCY OUT OF IT, IT WAS JUST THE BEST DECISION TO MAKE. >> IT IS TAKING TYPICALLY TWO TO THREE TIMES A DAY. PAUL: ASHLEY GRACE IS THE CHIEF MARKETING OFFICE AT CHARLOTTE'S WEB HEMP. HE ADMITS THERE'S STILL A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT CANNABIS. >> WE WERE ALL BROUGHT UP TO THINK THAT THIS WAS A MIND-KILLER AND SOMETHING THAT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH BAD PEOP AND BAD HEALTH AND ALL OF THE EXACT OPPOSITES OF WHAT YOU'VE SEEN HERE TODAY AND WHAT OUR COMPANY IS SEEING ON A DAILY BASIS WITH PEOPL PAUL: THE 2014 FARM BILL LEGALIZED INDUSTRIAL HEMP RESEARCH. CHARLOTTE'S WEB IS MARKETED AS A WHOLE PLANT HEMP EXTRACT SUPPLEMENT AS THE LEGAL HURDLES DISAPPEAR, THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF SOCIA HURDLES FOR THIS INDUSTRY TO CLEAR. >> THESE STORIES ARE HOW STIGMAS ARE CHANGED. PAUL: ADDY TURNED FOUR YESTERDAY. SHE'S FEEDING HERSELF, TALKING, AND ATTENDING PRE-SCHOOL. THE PATRICKS SAY THEY'VE FOUND A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY OF SPECIAL NEEDS FAMILIES IN COLORADO AND HAVE NO PLANS TO MOVE BACK TO MAIN MEAGAN HOPES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL TOTALLY DECRIMINALIZE THE SUBSTANCE THAT ESSENTIALLY SAVED THEIR DAUGHTER'S LIFE. >> MY HOPE IS THAT, WITH THE CONTINUED PASSAGE OF RECREATIONAL USAGE LAWS, THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO MAKE THAT CHANGE.
