- Richardson father risks freedom to promote cannabis treatments for his daughter
A few times a month, Mark Zartler of Richardson, Texas commits a crime that helps his daughter who cannot help herself.
17 years ago, Christy Zartler gave birth to twin girls.
"When they came home, Keeley, her twin, came home first," said Christy. "Three days Kara followed her."
From there, they began the difficult, years-long task of learning how to treat Kara’s Cerebral Palsy and severe Autism. There are a slew of her pills on their kitchen counter. Antipsychotics and enzymes and sleep aids. Still, few things helped fight off the worst of her symptoms.
A neighbor first suggested years ago that cannabis could ease Kara’s symptoms. Mark then found that by grinding marijuana buds, and heating them to 410 degrees Fahrenheit, it created the vapor that serves as an immediate rescue response to his daughter’s most violent behavior.

I see a man trying his best to help his daughter. She is alive she is not dead. Praise to you.
Quality of life.
Antipsychotic drugs block dopamine and cause agonizing conditions like Akathesia.
Shame on you for commending the nonconsensual drugging of a defenseless woman
@@christianv7177 drugging? She just smoking some boof
I mean she legit keeps Punching her self but after the marijuana she started to chill out
@@christianv7177 she was literally punching herself and it stopped her
The way he treats her is very responsible in my opinion. He measures it out and helps her calm down I see no issues with it at all
I agree fully.
Yes I agree 100% - Great parents who really love their daughter ❤️
And he doesn’t actually roll and smoke he steams it which is entirely pure and genuis
He could just do the oil and not have to deal with anything else.
You gotta be kidding ?? Wake up
I have the upmost respect for this father. …THIS IS A REAL FATHER THIS IS LOVE. That’s a real man. That’s a whole hearted loving father.
❤❤❤
Yeah and a whole life ruined ... no ... not only one ...
I can't stop crying. God bless you, god bless your daughter.

So 👍 true!
This the truth.
Soemtimes u need to risk it all.
My father left me when I was 9 I’m 21 now it’s been 12 years since I seen him
To improve his daughters quality of life. He would literally do anything. What a beautiful family.
Isn't that our job? There's nothing I won't do to better my children's life... NOTHING!
Not anything!! Come on!! Even that comment is both derogatory to both him and cannabis!! He's doing what a normal person would do!! He did what no american does, which is read for himself!!

My daughter has mild cerebral palsy and spectrum autism.
years from now people will look back at this video and be like "why did they ban marijuana in the first place?" This guy will be justified in the end. It genuinely does help people.
It was because of xenophobia, Mexicans smoked marijuana
Edit because people are misunderstanding me: back in the day, “marihuana” was seen as a Mexican drug

Its not because its addictive and a drug?
@@crazyfriend50yes unfortunately it came from racism in the first place

Going from the self-abusive behavior to crying when she was restrained from self-abuse, to a self-soothing activity like rocking back and forth is mind boggling

Lol, I read that as "No one deserves children"
@@MrCrosas0010 wut?
Not only he do everything he could for his daughter, this man risk everything he has for helping another's son or daughter. Respect!
May the God always be with you sir
No one should tell a parent how to deal with something like this if they have never been in the situation I’m crying as I type this because wow she seems so happy after her little hits ! Keep doing your job as a father !!!
When the zaza hits
It's so true! My husband has has strangers try to physically force him to stop restraining our severely autistic son, not realising that if he did our son would severely hurt himself or others. Other times, he has has threats of violence and the police have been called on us
Exactly!! Too many people thinking their opinion needs to be heard especially in things they secretly know nothing about
I like your comment I can feel you
The demonization and stigma of cannabis needs to stop.
Same here, I also want the same with vaping
Agreed, it needs to stop by both the government and the user. I have no doubt that cannabis is an effective treatment for several illnesses and disorders, I also have no problem with people using it recreationally. What I have a problem with is users thinking its the cure-all and the answer to everything, what I have a problem with is that recreational users seem to think its okay get high while driving, use terminally ill patients as leverage to get high. What I have a problem with is my neighbor sitting in his backyard thinking its funny to stand at the fence while getting high while I have 15 grade school kids over for my sons birthday and blowing smoke into my backyard. And when I ask him to stop he tells me "they have to learn it sometime" Here in CA it's legal across the board, and within minutes of it becoming legal it was already being abused by recreational users. The very first day it became legal there was a fatal accident on the onramp of I-80 heading in SF from American Canyon. Did the user die? Of course not, the mother of three heading to work did. It isn't the everyday non user that demonizes it, its the user. Use it responsibly and there won't be a problem.
@Raelynn you can’t claim marijuana has zero bad side effects. if someone starts smoking in their teens or at a younger age it can effect brain development
No one is demonizing it. At the same time, no one is legalizing it either.
I think shrooms should be legalized as well and dmt
@@whitediver45 dmt and shrooms definitely should not be legalized lol
In case if any of you don’t know, Medical marijuana in Texas is now 100% legal, the daughter and the parents can now use it to treat their daughter legally!!!
Wait really??? Even for depression?
@@annoyingbookgirl according to marijuana doctors people who have one or more of the condition can get a card
Epilepsy
Seizures
Spasticity
ALS
Autism
Terminal cancer
Incurable neurodegenerative disease
Yeah but it’s not effective. The medical marijuana in Texas is diluted to being less than 0.5% thc. Normal medical marijuana have more than 30 times that amount.
it looks like he's treating her with cannabis though, in texas autism is qualified for CBD use, low THC only. Texas is so conservative, there's no way they're gonna be legalizing cannabis use any time soon.
the conditions approved for CBD use/low THC in Texas are:
Autism
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Cancer
Incurable neurodegenerative disorders
Intractable Epilepsy
Multiple sclerosis
Post-traumatic stress
Seizure disorders
Terminal cancer
No depression of course. It's so common too. Texas is very slow to reform for this kind of stuff.
You sir, are an example of fatherhood other men should aspire to be. God bless you and your family.
The look on his face. While he held onto her. LITERALLY brought me to tears. What he must feel as a father, having to do that to his daughter, but at the same time knowing that he's able to help her, really says alot about him. Props to him. And prayers that his daughter continues to do well. 🙌🏼🙏🏻❤
Isn't it ridiculous our government wants to throw people like Mark in jail.
I admire your courage. More of us need to take a stand.
Medical marijuana is at this point and time actually legal in Texas, and is one of what is now 36 states that have legalized marijuana for medical use
Correction Religious Republicans want to throw people like Mark in jail. The Democrats are for complete Decriminalization of marijuana across the board.
@@ReesesCupsable You've got that entirely wrong. I am a religious republican, and I find this as seeming to be an entirely appropriate use of an otherwise terrible thing.
He needs to get a medical card for her. Otherwise, you do the crime, you do the time.
@@ReesesCupsable you support the junkies that sour the legality to normal people. Obviously we support the use in this way but you want junkies to get ahold of it, which means less for people like his daughter.
Role model as a father, straight up high five biggest cheer for yall family
I have nothing but the highest level of respect for Mark as a father. As a paraplegic with intolerable spasms and pain I know first hand how cannabis helps make an impossible situation that much more tolerable. A true father/parent would do anything, including risking their own freedom like Mark is doing, to ease a childs pain and suffering. He deserves a medal, not a potential arrest record.
Her father is a Hero. He's doing everything he can for his daughter.
✊🏻💯
❤️
He's not a hero he's giving his daughter drugs he should be in prison
@@ilovefreddie57 you clearly did not understand. He's giving her daughter a cannabis treatment to keep her daughter calm or else she'll end up hurting herself. He is risking everything to legalise the cannabis treatment for the people who have cerebral palsy and severe autism. You can see in the video the result of the treatment and it keeps her daughter calm rather than hurting herself. A lot of people is suffering for this kind of disorder but they can't perform cannabis treatment because it was illegal in their country. They need this.
@@ilovefreddie57
You aren’t in his shoes like I was. If our son still alive I would do same thing like he does. He’s a hero.
“The law isn’t going to change unless somebody gambles.”
That’s an incredibly moving statement.
*edit 09/15/2021: Whoa, I didn't sany anything particularly profound. Didn't know this would generate this many likes.
Incidentally, I'm a lawyer.
...And yes, it takes bravery to fight against "the system." I've had to warn many people about moving forward with their suits, whether in criminal defense or in a civil matter. Sure, lawsuits sound romantic, but when you're in the middle of one, the whole tone changes. It's hectic, confusing, and things seem to constantly move both quickly and slowly at once.
When somebody gambles to change the law, others benefit from that person's bravery. Typically, people just don't want to antagonize the system because resources aren't infinite. By the time you "make it" in the world, you're likely going to fall into that mode of thinking of how best to preserve what you've struggled so hard to accumulate: your home, your business, your job, the wife and kids anda nice suburban existence. I guarantee you, most people in that position are not looking to rock boats. It takes principle and gumption to poke the bear of "the system" I spoke of above.
Lawyers know that system and most of them are part of it. Heck, I'm part of it to some degree. I know that for some clients what offer the prosecutor might offer based on his criminal history. I'd wager that lawyers try and even calculate what a reasonable plea deal might be based on factors like race and the voir dire process in jury selection. Oh, and let's not forget income and having "connections."
It's as rotten as they say it is. Even otherwise honest people get tired and worn out trying to preserve their dignity and principles.
But when a family member's life is on the line -- well, I've seen people take on tasks they would have never faced before. I don't know what most of society would call that. Some people call it crazy. Other's call it a crazy gamble.
Yet others would call it "love." And who am I to argue against that.
it is, but i think its deeper than takung a chance. Money, the alcohol indistry will continue to greese the palms of the filthy politicians
How do they think America was made how slavery was outlawed
The law isn’t going to change unless you get the majority people agreeing that it needs to and representatives vote will of the people.
I bet hes happy now that it's legal
King Rivas really? They repealed the federal laws?
Mad respect to this man!
The most loving parents I've ever seen. I can't even begin to imagine the hardships they're going through and finding such a solution is the sign of true love for their daughter. ❤️
It made me smile when she stopped hitting herself. I’m so happy the parents found something that could help her.
Its almost like she knows her condition and hates her body and herself because she doesn't look and act like other girls her age, its so sad we don't truly know what goes on in there heads
@@spankthemonkey3437 that's not true. What she's doing is called stimming, it's something autistic people do when they're anxious / excited / out of habit. Neurotypical people do that too, ex. biting your nails or clicking a pen when you're anxious. It helps autistic people calm down and concentrate. Sometimes, if not prevented, autists can habitualize using self-destructive stims (pulling hair out, hitting self), and that blame is just on the parents for not catching and preventing that behaviour earlier.
@Anna Burchell I am also autistic. Self-harming stimming and actual self harm look different. The original poster's comment is ridiculous.
The father is doing what is right. He cares for and loves his daughter.
Me to it really did hurt me as a parent to watch this this really made me cry
When she was hitting herself it pained me, she wasn't hitting herself softly but she was legit punching herself and that's surely very painful. I can't imagine the pain her father goes through. Hope their situation can become better
You could already see the bruise from her fist forming. Every strike hurt my heart too 💔
It seems like a type of self harm rather than a tick. It seems she is extremely distressed before the cannabis.
When I saw her hitting her face and the bruising immediately I felt myself tearing up…I can’t imagine what she and her family goes through. My heart breaks for them.
Some people have killed themselves by hitting their head on objects. 💔💖We need to support treatments that work.
As a father it reaches deep inside you and grabs your heart, you feel his pain and his dedication to his child.
Everytime I watch this video, I cry for sadness that it's illegal, and for joy for this family's love for each other.
Welp now you see how horrific propaganda is
Good news, Medical Marijuana is legal in Texas. This video is 6 years old, they legalized it after this video.
Never underestimate what a parent will go through for their child.
"Laws not gonna change unless someone gambles"
- this line really makes you think
Why can't he be left to get on caring for his daughter, wot are the so called 'Experts" got in mind for her treatment, I'd like to know!
He was selfless and took a risk and so right he is .
Cannabis is medically effective for so many things. It has more than one use. It should be decriminalized and taken off the rolls of harmful drugs class A from a federal stand point.
If not for my treatments I would be dead by now.
Anybody that believes that laws are created for the benefit of all humankind, are exactly the level of brainwashed the government wants them to be.
The line doesn't make you think, it is common sense.
This video makes me cry...
Why is the medicine of life illegal
But people are okay w opiates🥱
Because anyone can grow a lifetime supply in their backyard with very little effort, and then no one would need to buy expensive, ineffective, toxic drugs from big pharma.
You know why.
@@happyfase u summed it up perfectly. It all comes down to MONEY!
It's not for everyone. I get paranoid and heart rate to 140.. so I can't take it. But I agree.. everyone should be able to try
Consider that the system calls saving lives "a crime." Sickening governments, respect to this Father.
I’m so happy you advocated not only for your child but from for others also. You guys are hero’s!!!
Hes literally measuring it by the 1/8 of a teaspoon, hes heating it to EXACTLY 410 degrees, dude is being so responsible, let his daughter and him have peace
thats how science works my man
What does the measurement and heat ratio mean? I’m genuinely curious.
@@sunshinehahn1973 I’m not exactly sure…but the amount is probably because that is all that is needed and heated to the correct temp to give off the smoke or vapor…shes not just getting high
@@thairenea thanks! That makes sense. 😁
@@sunshinehahn1973 the heat causes more cannabinoids to be activated so the girl isn’t getting mainly thc into her body but also lots of cbd so it’s a balance she’s a little high but also veryy relaxed
He’s not committing a crime he’s just a father helping his child I think a lot of people would be open to what he is doing and understandable
I'm so happy it helps her a little
Maravilloso padre honesto .no veo nada de malo cualquier padre haría lo mismo si su hijo tuviera alivio .lo veo perfecto.🙏
This was illegal 4 years ago when this video was posted. Because of this family, medical canabis is legal in Texas now.

It takes away all the bad in the matter of minutes. It’s obviously not for everybody but it really does help. Praying for this family ❤

The video is 100% PROOF it works. Sometimes the Government needs to step aside. Wonderful dad🙏🙏🙏
The problem is that druggies will use this as an excuse to take that stuff for "medical purposes." So it still has to be illegal. (Ps. These are the government's rules, not mine. So please relax, folks.)
@@petscraftsandwonderfulthin1279 thats exactly why it needs to be legalised and fully regulated, just because a "druggie" wants to use canabis recreationally does not mean people with problems like this girl should go without.
@@petscraftsandwonderfulthin1279 You don't know what you're talking about. The way you're reasoning we would have to make a lot of legal medicin illegal because druggies use them too.

@@ross3685 the problem is that still a large amount of people and doctors are totally unaware of the insane medical benefits of cannabis.

It’s amazing what this father does for his kid. He shouldn’t be looked at as someone who’s doing something wrong. Marijuana can cure/help people with mental problems in so many ways it’s ridiculous.
It’s cause it’s always either recreational or illegal…
Why not use it for what all medicines are actually used for…
it can!
Autism is a neurological and developmental disorder it's not a mental illness or mental disorder.
It can lead to mental health issues like depression and anxiety but it's not a mental illness that's a big misconception and huge wrong doing.
@@tenzillionfilms620 correct me if I'm wrong but someone could have severe autism that makes it difficult for them to perform alot of basic task independently. It's a spectrum between someone who can function fine with it and someone that needs care. Would severe autism be considered a mental illness because it can be debilitating?
@@ThatGuy-kz3fx cannabis isn’t a drug 🤡
Wow! The love that man has for his family is legit ADMIRABLE!! ❤ LOVE U DUDE
And the #1 dad award goes tooooo this man🎉
Update: When Mark Zartler posted the now viral video of treating his daughter with cannabis, Child Protective services showed up to their doorstep under the notion that the treatment was a form of child abuse. Luckily the judge overseeing the case weighed all of the evidence and decided that she was not being abused and that it was in Kara’s best interest that she stay with her parents as her guardians.
From what I understand, under the compassionate use law, Kara's parents would first have to work through all of the legal pharmaceuticals and then 2 doctors would have to agree that all of those treatments are ineffective before she could be prescribed cbd. Even then, the legal amount that she would be allowed to take would be so small that it would have no effect on her symptoms.
Legally, what her father is doing is considered a felony punishable by 2 yrs. to life. Kara's parents are still trying to change legislation.
If these parents lived in Arizona and CPS showed up their poor daughter would have been taken away from them, put in foster care for years and CPS likely would have severed their parental rights.... After years of abusing the child and the parents of course. After the abuse of this disabled child would have lasted for the rest of her life.... They're lucky they don't live in Arizona. Clearly cannabis is not harming their daughter and they should be able to use it however they see fit.
This is a certified government moment
@@mysticbengals521Edit: (a minor can get their medical card with doctor's/parent's consent)
it's legal in Arizona though, so I doubt cps shows up over this
Pharmaceutical companies only care about the money.
And his tax money pays the people who want to put him in jail. sick.
Seeing her go from meltdown to calm and herself. Touched my heart, that's an awesome dad right there
I know. Mentally ill children grow up into mentally ill adults and this is what I've been saying all along when their parents are gone and no one's there to take care of them or if they end up doing something to their parents they end up in jail or an institution so she needs to be treated.
A real Dad. Does anything for his kids….
I wonder if this could also help people with Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, anxiety, etc.
@@lisa196409 her parents must have a plan in place for that. I seriously doubt that they would allow their daughter to flounder. You're only watching a snapshot of this family.
@@SacredFire777 cannabis does help with anxiety as far as I'm aware. A friend of mine suffers from bad social anxiety and smoking really helps him. He only does it when he has a panic attack or feels one comming, so he's not addicted like some people claim you get by trying it once. I have bad agoraphobia and depression aswell but sadly I'm not allowed to use it as germany is still very old-fashioned when it comes to marihuana consumption

Greetings from Germany!
If this man ever gets put in jail for this. We need to seriously look at what our best interest is as a society. I’m a pretty tough person emotionally, but my son changed my life and if someone wouldn’t let me treat my son or give him a better quality of life, I don’t know what I would do. This is truly probably one of the hardest things you can go through.
The justice system is already pretty broken. Like people simply caught in possession in marijuana can get prison time.
I have experimented with marijuana for anxiety and depression reasons, and in my opinion it is even safer than alcohol. Yet alcohol is somehow legal while marijuana is heavily scrutinized in the law system.
I understand that multiple states are legalizing it now, and that it awesome, but I feel bad for people that were arrested for being in possession, even if they hadn't been doing anything immoral or wrong.
A lot of people including myself use it as a kind of therapy for themselves, and I see nothing wrong with that.

As a parent with child with autism spectrum and seeing how badly they can hurt themselves or others I totally understand and support this family. Its beyond hard at times, and feeling helpless for your child is the worst feeling ever.
I'm curious, have you given your child cannabis or thought about it? I know I would if my child is in need. I'm planning on having a kid and trying to put myself in a shoe with a kid in need. I also use cannabis cause of my ptsd. So I'm 100% cannabis
I, too, have an autistic son,and medical cannabis has made a huge impact on his self-injurious, and aggressive behaviors.
Sending prayers 🙏🏾
I’m autistic, and while I don’t have it bad I did a while ago, in childhood. My parents loved me just the same. It doesn’t go away for everyone, and I feel for them so much, parents and children alike. I’m so glad these people can make it easier on their daughter.

It is completely INSANE that such a mild, harmless substance is illegal when it helps people as a medicine.
It's all to do with money my friend, that's why as a cannabis user I actually am hesitant of it being fully legal due to the inevitable increase in price if big pharma get there hands on it.
@@basketballman1854 America is way further down the road than most places in regards to cannabis legalisation, here in the UK it's a crime end of there is no medical use exemptions except in very very very rare cases but even then I'm sure (I might be wrong here) it's only available for palliative care.
@@basketballman1854 but as I said I as a long term user I ain't to sure about full legalisation.
I fully support legalisation for medical use such as in this video though no one should be punished for using a medicine that is proven to work.
Because BIG PHARMA will be IN TROUBLE if they legalize medicinal marijuana! It’s too much of a cure!!!!!
Harmless is a choice word here.
This man is not doing a bad thing. He's doing it for his family and his daughter. Hope everything's going well for them
Thats like saying a man can rob stores and feed his family since they’re poor and it wouldn’t be a bad thing or a crime
@@RycuSantos U gotta be joking. You are comparing stealing goods and taking valuable items from other people with a father who is willing to go anywhere to get his daughter the right medication instead of drugging her with tons of pharmaceuticals that don't work. Pls do everybody a favour and keep your fingers away from your keyboard.
@@RycuSantos bruh you can still delete this
@@RycuSantos didn't know robbing a store and using a plant could be compared
Exactly
"3 minutes later and a father's dedication" words you shouldn't take for granted!!
Thank you Dad, you are amazing.
I worked with Mark years ago, before they had twins and literally just stumbled upon this by chance. He was a great guy then and a great dad now.
Your an awesome dad doing the best you can for your child. I sincerely understand trust me I do. 👍

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And that emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you, oh, oh
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away, hey yeah
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you
Mmm, that a hero lies in you

Canabis was brought by Arabs to America 200 years ago to dominate the white anglo Christian communityin America and I strongly advise, politician in Texas to arrest this men and put their children in mental house to protect the comunity from harm.then his wife can remarry and have children again.
That’s an amazing father right there. I would do anything for my kids if I ever had too
Best Dad Ever !
Keep Up The Good Work, Dad !
The Entire World Is Behind You !
2021. Mark Zartler and his family are doing well. They are on a iheart Podcast today.
Thanks !!
Thanks
thats really amazing to hear thank you for updating us!
Appricate it!!!
Thank you! Your comment should go to the top
That Father sure has lots of patience. And dedication
I'm sure it's worth it to see his daughter safe
@isafairy I wish I could say you're wrong, but I can't
Im not crying , go dad !! Your the best father!!
No matter what they say this man loves his family and will do what ever it takes and I support that 1000 percent
The way she's looking at her father while he gives her the " treatment" is really moving. She's here, with him and - May we say ? Loving him and relying on him.
She knows!!! ❤️
I'm crying watching this. I am a father, I cannot imagine how a father have to go through this, watching his baby girl suffer for years. Just let him be, he knows what best for her, no one loves her like he does.. 😭
I have a 3 yr old daughter and I would do anything for her. Im crying as well because I wish the best for that girl and her fahter
As a girl dad. Broke my heart. Still can’t help but smile for this man and his daughter ❤️
Glad I'm not the only dad crying here.
God bless this man. If it helps it helps.
if they take the parent away who's going to take care of that child. very demanding and very difficult. there is nobody better suited than the one that loves them the most.
I sell medical cannabis I’m crying, this is the reason I get up every day to help people just like her❤️ more people need to realize you can get a med card and be a caretaker and Legally be able to medicate and help them❤️
Yeah I am sure all your customers are people with severe medical conditions that actually need it, not a bunch of people that just want to get high. Not at all. 🙄 Yeah you keep telling yourself that you’re “helping” them.
@@areyoumadbroxd6861 well, does it really matter? at least smoking cannabis has a calming effect, while another *legal* substance makes a fair cut of people aggressive. i'd rather have potheads than alcoholics.
@@NuclearNuggetz lol man they just trying to troll the names gives it away don't mind him and their need to instill angry to people for their enjoyment
@@animelover5510 in todays day and age it is (disappointingly) incredibly hard to distinguish whether or not someone is trolling because there are actual people with a mindset like that 😔
@@areyoumadbroxd6861 there’s nothing wrong with marijuana.. now whether someone over uses it or not, that’s one thing. Everything should be used in moderation but it’s naturally just a plant and I say if it’s helping, then use it regardless of age.. the government approves of a random untested “vaccine” where u can’t sue if something goes wrong but they’re against a plant.. go figure
You can see exactly when the switch flips in her. You can literally see her become better from one second to the next
So sad it really heard to watch.. Being a Father thats deep.. What you did for your daughter.. Is true love...
The act of selfless parents is wholesome! Keep it up! Thank you for fighting!
You can't even say he's being reckless, I've never met people who measure their cannabis dosage by the 8th of a teaspoon. He's so dedicated. We need more people like you sir ♡
It’s so sad that some people make cannibis a bad thing but it can give people relief from stress and other anxiety. ❤️
That’s because lots of drugs would be legal if people didn’t abuse them. I know many people that eat edibles or smoke cannabis 1-2 per month rather then drink. It’s the stoners and abusers that give mj a bad rep.
That’s because we don’t typically measure it in volume. It’s measured in weight.
@@sicsempertyrannis4613 but then how do you class a stoner? Someone might use it every day for severe mental health conditions and most would class them as a stoner.
Okay what ever is in this lil bag will go into a blunt
It’s so sad my close friend ended up doing that for her son who was suffering with 20 seizures a day and severely autistic as well. The first day he started his medical marijuana treatment he only had 10 seizures for that day and had weeks and months went on his frequency of having seizures diminished. We have to do better for these kids.
I'm so happy it's working for you Friends Son🙏
I have seizures also i had them since i was 9 years old. Now i am 41 years old and still have them. I take three medications plus i have a vns stimulator in my chest and a neuropace in the left side of my head and i still have them.
I have epilepsy too but something was removed from my brain last year on January 16 and it stopped my seizures I've been seizure free since
Pure decarboxilated cannabis oil would even work better, a few little doses eaten over the day and you will see dramatic change to the better in most patients.
They are getting worse now. I am getting rid of the vns stimulator and the neropace. It is not helping me.
Best dad ever!! True love
I have a brother with pretty severe autism and cannabis has helped him so much. Taking care of an autistic child with behavioral issues takes such a mental toll on the whole family. The amount of holes we had in our walls and bruises from him hitting us was just insane. He still has episodes but now we have a way to help him feel calm. No medication worked as well as cannabis does. And the plus side, it’s not addictive like some of his medications were.
Tatum Soto, My son has same symptoms, he has phobia for everything does it need to be inhaled or is there another way to be administered? Any advice is most welcome, thanks 🙏🏼
@@jimcasper12 hey Jim, we started out with CBD oil, it’s called charlotte’s Web. That really helped him but I’m not sure if his behavior just got worse or if it stopped working on him as effectively, he just didn’t respond to it as much as when we first started with it. We’ve put him on an ashaming amount of medication just desperate to have somewhat of a normal life. He’s off quite a few of his meds now! We now do it the way showed in this video and it’s worked so well for him ever since. There are also gummies which have worked great for him too, they just take a little bit longer to kick in and makes him pretty hungry. I wish you luck with everything and I hope this helps you some!
@@jimcasper12 I recommend a vaporizer like the one the dad has in the video. There are gummies but they take over 30 minutes to kick in. Also gummies can be expensive because your tolerance goes up quick.
@@jimcasper12 you can actually buy an inhaler that administers thc for instant relief you should look into it as it would probably be the fastest and easiest route of administration during an episode
@@tatum5747 Thank you 🙏🏼 Tatum
I can’t possibly imagine how difficult this family’s situation is I hope they are doing ok and staying strong

100000000% an amazing father and the perfect one for this girl
We take care of our son with epilepsy. He looks fine and people criticize us all the time because he is 29 and lives at home. Walk ONE day in our shoes.
I think one hour would be too much for many to tolerate. People judge too readily, often based on appearances and I would imagine that anything that even barely pushes them out of their comfort zone is scary and threatening. Fear of the unknown and the misunderstood or just not understood.
Sending you a virtual hug from Italy.🤗
@@JF-kv1gm Thank you. I needed that today.
For everyone one person who would judge harshly because they don't understand, there are likely dozens and dozens more who do understand. While I don't have to care for anyone in my life, I have friends who do and I have witnessed their strength with my own eyes. Believe me there's way more people who get it and empathize. I honestly feel kinda bad for those who DON'T understand because this tells me they simply don't know what it's like and because of that they will never know that depth of compassion and love, of course it comes at a great cost but that's ultimately what drives those bonds to be so strong. I may not know you or what the specifics of your life are, but I admire and appreciate the fact that you are there for your son and do take care of him. I always say that until we are willing to take care of those who are hardest to care for, we will never "grow" as a society, so long as we choose to abandon people because it's hard, we're really just abandoning ourselves.
You are doing great its very hare to treat and fully undetstand it from an outsiders view. I have a brother with autism high on the spectrum and people will knock 9n our door telling us to stop beating him when he is just having a melt down. Its hard truly. We uave found that he likes things like games that are easy,small puzzles, and even listening to his favorite songs. Its a hard process but no one should judge it if they dont live it
@@mud5377 Thank you I needed that talk.
You can literally see the relief in her face after a few minutes. Hope all is well with this family in 2021.
It's the face of an addict. She literally beats herself until she gets a fix. There's no evidence that it had happened before these treatments, they'd been using this treatment for a while before positing this recording.
@@gickygackers Are you thick?
@@StinkyGreenBud Nope. Addicts pass on drugs all the time to their kids. mentally handicapped children get it the worst.
Allow me to retort, severe nerve conditions.

Thankyou for looking after your daughter no questions asked. You are an absolute hero, thankyou.
Dooji?
Great father, she looks just like him, gotta fight for your babies man.
🙌
He’s found a holistic method to help his poor baby girl, let him do what he can for HIS child! I applaud him for this and the fact it’s a natural growing plant is all the better, I wish her the best of luck. My mother was a paraprofessional in my school growing up so I spent a lot of time with mentally handicapped children and I’ve seen it first hand, if this helps I say let them do it!
its not holistic. it's just another medicine of chemical compounds that should be available to every doctor to prescribe when necessary just as other drugs.
@@lxMaDnEsSxl …..you….you do know marijuana is a plant right? That grows naturally from the ground? It doesn’t need any chemicals to make it have it’s calming effects…
@@lxMaDnEsSxl Mans fr forgot plants exist
@@lxMaDnEsSxl Canabis has been used a prescibable drug, in the USA, in the past. Until about 1920's, then the big drug companies got it clasified as illegal so they could sell their products.
Listen dude, I consume cannabis in basically every way you can. It's a drug. Just because it's a naturally occurring compound doesn't mean it's not a drug. Psilocybin is a natural compound in magic mushrooms. Still a drug. Food is a drug. Caffeine is a drug. There's a negative connotation to the word but it doesn't make drugs inherently bad.
You do what you need to for your children. You are great parents! Peace
we owe alot to this man, what a father you are the meaning off humanity n if there is a heaven your place is reserved.
I was never a smoker. But three years ago my doctor recommended cannabis for my headaches and migraines and I am now an ex-sufferer of biweekly headaches. Changed my life.
It’s a lethal drug, it killed my brother after causing psychosis.
For headaches? Huh
@@posteveryside-beatsnews yeah, some people have severe health issues. Like headaches, autoimmune diseases, etc.
Sometimes cannibas is the only thing that can help people sadly (in small medical doses obviously)
@@sakurahirawa an oz a day keeps the doctor away
@Idk__ Tolerance. Some people HAVE to smoke an OZ just to get the same effect just how it goes with chronic usage.

WE NEED AN UPDATE ABOUT THIS FAMILY! Praying and wishing everything happy and positive for them ALL!
I just did some research, and unfortunately in 2018 Texas Child Protection services pushed forward on charges on the parents for "abuse" for giving a minor "an illegal substance". (Despite Marij reducing her self harm), leading to The Parents along with Kara having to go to court. Fortunately however, the process was Brief and the judge dismissed the charges, and they retain guardianship of her. Mark made a final statement on the case saying (paraphrase) ' It's a shame the medicine that helps her is treated as an illegal substance in this state. ' (A message I think most people can agree with). They've since stayed out of the media, and most likely want privacy.
Everything I found was through various Texas legal news and local news stories by the way, I hope the best for them. And I hope Texas reforms their Marij policy soon.
