Dear Jackie, Thank you for your story. I have the deepest respect for the Figi family and all the work that the Stanley Brothers have advanced selflessly to help countless people of the world. However, it is not accurate to state that this was the foundation to the launch of Epidiolex as the first cannabis-based pharmaceutical for epilepsy. Rather, that work on cannabidiol pre-dated developments in Colorado by many years, and subsequently, these programs rather occurred in parallel.
Thank you for this story. Tears.
