Cyndimae Meehan, 13, suffered from Dravet Syndrome and had near daily epileptic episodes, but said that traditional medications only made the problem worse.
There is currently no cure for the disease and the most effective method, her family said, was treatment with cannabis oil.
Cyndimae and her mom became “medical marijuana refugees” when they moved from Montville, Conn., to Maine in 2013, and said that they could not return because of rules prohibiting cannabis treatments for children.
