Charlotte Figi was a Colorado girl who helped normalize medical cannabis and CBD as she used it to relieve her Dravet syndrome, a catastrophic form of epilepsy.
Figi had her first seizure when she was just three months old. Suffering hundreds of grand mal seizures every week and barely able to talk, her mother sought out alternative treatments for her and found that a strain of low-THC, high-CBD cannabis brought her seizures under control. The strain of cannabis Figi used was named after her — Charlotte’s Web — and she became the face of the CBD movement when Dr. Sanjay Gupta profiled her in the 2013 documentary “Weed.”
