Charlotte Figi, a Colorado girl with severe seizures that inspired CBD treatments, has died. She was 13.
Her mother, Paige Figi, began calling medical marijuana shops in Colorado after doctors had exhausted all other options. Charlotte's symptoms largely disappeared after she began taking an oil infused with a strain of cannabis low in THC, the plant's psychoactive ingredient, but high in the compound cannabidiol, or CBD.Charlotte's success led other families with children suffering from seizures to move to Colorado, where marijuana was legalized much earlier than other states.
In a Facebook post last week, Paige Figi announced that Charlotte was in the hospital because of a virus. "Most of the house recovered well from a month of virus but our little Charlotte hasn’t improved," the post read."She had a couple days where she seemed to turn the corner but then she took a dive. We used all of our tricks the past few days but nothing worked."
In a post on Sunday, she said her daughter had been discharged, writing,"This kid...heh heh...she is one tough SOB."Realm of Caring, a nonprofit organization founded by Figi, thanked Charlotte for dedicating her life to helping others. "Charlotte's story directly impacted thousands of families across the globe and has changed the face of cannabis in many ways," the organization"Your work is done Charlotte, the world is changed, and you can now rest knowing that you leave the world a better place. With broken hearts, we cradle the Figi's/Iafeliece's in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you, Charlotte, for dedicating your life to the service of a greater good.
