Stephen Carlin, who lives in Clayton, helped draft the bill. He said he and his family have tried every kind of medication to treat their 5-year-old daughter, including potent 40 milligram doses of Valium daily, which her body eventually became unresponsive to. Zora doesn't speak and she has such violent seizures.
He father said she also harms herself and has tried to rip off her skin.
"Every time I hand her a pill, I feel like I'm handing her poison," Stephen Carlin said. "I feel like I might as well just give her rat poison."
The Carlins have tried 14 different medications and some only brought more pain. But CBD oil, which is derived from a strain of medical marijuana known as Charlotte's Web, is about 85 percent effective in treating those seizures.
The oil does not contain the part of marijuana that gets people high.
"This is not a pathway to anything else," Stephen Carlin said. "This is just something that's going to heal kids. There should be no reason they shouldn't pass it. If it doesn't, they're not looking at it."
