This week represents one decade since the seven Stanley brothers helped launch the CBD industry from Colorado. Per proclamation by Governor Jared Polisin 2020, following the unfortunate passing of Charlotte Figi, April 7th is officially 'Charlotte Figi Day' in Colorado. .Charlotte's Web Inc., the market leader in CBD products, today unveils its "Charlotte Figi Family Grant Program" as an annual initiative to honor the historic legacy of Charlotte, the little girl who suffered from seizures due to Dravet Syndrome, and her story that helped to change CBD access for millions around the world.   Lori speaks with Charlotte's mother, Paige Figi, about her extaordinary journey.

Paige Figi's daughter Charlotte was only 3 months old when she started having regular seizures, ultimately being diagnosed with Dravet's Syndrome. By the time she was four, after a gamet of pharmceuticals have proven ineffective, Charlotte was on life support with only days to live. Desperate, Paige had begun researching plant medicine and found a high concentration Cannabanoid (CBD) from the hemp plant. She watched in disbelief as Charlotte began improving and the near constant seizures became infrequent. In this powerful conversation, we discuss Paige's early life as a rescue diver, her role as a military spouse, Charlotte's heartbreaking health struggles, how Paige began helping other families, the Coaltition for Access, the Major League Baseball team who is standing behind CBD and so much more.

Charlotte's Web (aka Hippie's Disappointment - CBD dom) (50/50 hybrid)Legendary CBD dominant cultivar with a cool back story. On October 18, 2006 Matt & Paige Figi and their son Max were blessed with twins sisters Chase and Charlotte (nicknamed Charlie). At 3 months old Charlie had a seizure, eyes flickering, taken to hospital for full checks, no idea what was going, by the time she was 2 the seizures had become constant, after numerous trips to the ER and the family was told she had Dravet Syndrome (severe intractable epilepsy). Dravet syndrome is a rare catastrophic, lifelong form of epilepsy that begins in the first year of life with frequent or prolonged seizures. Paige went on a mission to track down cannabis in Colorado that was higher in CBD (which was super rare), she found a smaller amount at a Denver dispensary and paid $800 for the CBD rich grass. She had a friend who had just started a business of medicine extraction and so she got her friend to extract the cannabinoids from the cannabis. She put a small amount under Charlotte's tongue for the very first time and observed how her daughter reacted. Hours went by and no seizure. That whole day and night Charlotte had no seizures, and none the next day either. Paige and Matt were elated. Charlotte had gone from 300 seizures a week was down to just 1. 

Charlotte's Web practically invented the CBD industry in 2012, when the Stanley brothers were on a mission to help a then five-year-old girl who was suffering from Dravet's Syndrome.  How did that focus lead to the development of one of the biggest CBD companies in the U.S.? Matt Lindsey was there and he shares the story. As director of social responsibility for Charlotte's Web, Matt knows the industry well and shares his insider's perspective on CBD / cannabis commerce, culture, science and politics. SPECIAL BONUS: Kannaboomers listeners can get 15% off your purchase at  Charlotte's Web by using coupon code KBOOM at check out. Follow Charlotte's Web: On Twitter On FacebookOn Instagram

Paige Figi joins us and shares her views on the shifting perspectives in the cannabis industry: “People are wanting that supply and complaining that there isn't enough and trying to get it, it's those big guys taking control and doing that. So, while we're complaining about it, we're also complaining about the solution. It all has to sort of wash out. It all seems so new.”

CBD mania is in full swing and people are using it for just about anything, but what is this chemical in cannabis? In this week’s episode, we tell you unlikely origin story of CBD and if the science backs up the hype.

Nothing helps to shift public perception on an issue like putting a human face and story to how the issue affects common people. Paige Figi is the mother of Charlotte, a young girl who suffered from a severe form of epilepsy. Charlotte is one of thousands of patients who have found authentic relief in medicinal cannabis products. Paige joins us to discuss how her little girl’s illness prompted an exhaustive effort to gain access to a powerful naturally occurring plant that makes a world of difference in Charlotte’s life.

Jason and Elizabeth are thrilled that they've now recorded 10 podcasts with 10 amazing people and have so much in store for Who Lives Like This?! During today's podcast, the two banter about what's been happening in their lives since they last spoke and launched the podcast which, obviously, is mostly stuff related to caregiving. The podcast has been an incredible venture so far, both hosts agree, and they discuss which episodes have resonated in particular for them. Jason has been inspired and moved by several of the guests' talk of self-care, particularly Paige Figi's in Climbing Mountains with Paige Figi. He also had a kind of "come to Jesus" moment hearing about how Jeneva Stone keeps up a steady stream of communication and talk with her non-verbal son Robert in Writing, Identity and DNA. Elizabeth was affected profoundly by the conversation with Josh Fyman about how he and his wife decided to place their daughter in a residential setting in Making a Decision About Who Will Care for Your Child.

You might already have heard of Paige Figi -- or at least her daughter Charlotte of the eponymous "Charlotte's Web," a type of therapeutic hemp oil with low THC and high CBD (CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a known anticonvulsant, reducing epileptic symptoms without the psychotropic effect). Raising a daughter with Dravet syndrome, a serious form of epilepsy, Paige -- a mother of three in Colorado -- was desperate to find a treatment that would help her then 5-year old live a better life. Through that journey of finding a successful therapy for her daughter's seizures, Paige convened a chorus of voices of more than 15,000 families. She and her daughter have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, on a CNN special hosted by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and most recently on Dateline NBC. Paige is also the Executive Director of Coalition for Access Now, a non-profit organization led by families committed to educating the public and lawmakers on the health benefits associated with natural therapies derived from cannabis for chronic health conditions.  On the podcast, we talk to Paige not only about what's made her a famous caregiver but what's happened after all the publicity, all the advocacy and entrepreneurship. An avowed adventurer -- mountain climbing and dirt biking are her passions -- Paige discussed candidly her intent to get back to her dreams. In fact, we recorded the podcast while Paige was training and preparing for a climb of Denali, the highest peak in North America.

On his foray into cannabis advocacy- first at the state level, US Congressman Matt Gaetz joins us and shares, "I knew that we would never convince an overwhelmingly Republican state legislature and a strident Republican governor to engage in cannabis reform if they didn't feel it in their hearts. I didn't think I could convey that in a two dimensional medium, and so I invited Paige Figi to come and testify before the Criminal Justice Committee I chaired. I remember the conversation I had with a Baptist preacher who served on the committee with me. I was worried that he might go into full meltdown when surprised with Paige's story, and so I told him what was going to happen in the committee. He just grabbed me by the arm and prayed with me and said he just couldn't be with me on this. By the end of the committee meeting, he was pounding on the desk saying, "God put this plant on earth for a reason."

Mother of Charlotte’s Web inspiration Charlotte Figi, Page Figi returns to share the latest on the Cannabodial bills the Coalition for Access Now has in both the House & the Senate. We review her experience with CBD as it related to Charlotte’s seizures. We discuss the alternative bill in the Senate which would reschedule not deschedule CBD as Paige’s bill does. And we discuss what YOU can do NOW to aid the bill to passage by taking action and connecting with your elected officials who work for you. Finally, we talk about your patient and business CBD options in a forecasted rescheduled world but we also take the opportunity for Paige to share red flags and dog whistles to look and listen for when evaluating current CBD offerings.

David Bell, Professor of Marketing at Wharton sits down to discuss the basics of marketing from an extremely high-level. After discovering a bit of his background, we go through a number of industries with similarities to cannabis to discuss what can be learned from folks that have been through a few half lives. Professor Bell takes us through his best advice to cannabis companies new and experienced. But Kelsey Osborne first joins us to share her experience. Facing her seizing child, she provided her daughter with cannabis. As we’ve interviewed many parents like Heather Jackson from Realm of Caring and Paige Figi regarding Charlotte- this wouldn’t be a big deal- but it happened in Idaho. So Kelsey is now headed to court.

If you’ve heard of Charlotte’s Web in relation to cannabis- the moniker is named after little Charlotte Figi who’s been taking CBD for her epilepsy. Paige Figi, her mother, returns to catch us up with companion bills in the House and Senate which hope to Deschedule CBD which with the rest of the cannabis plant is a schedule 1 substance in the US.  Paige has found some unlikely allies in the House and Senate and she shares just how she’s done it. And you’re so inclined, I’d very much appreciate you filling out our new survey at https://survey.libsyn.com/canneconomy

Charlotte’s Web is an extract, shorthand for a set of laws- and is shorthand in general for CBD.  Charlotte’s Web is named after now 9 year old Charlotte Figi who suffers from a rare form of epilepsy called Dravet Syndrome.  One of our guests is her mother Paige Figi who runs the Coalition for Access Now which is focused on a Federal Bill to deschedule cbd & hemp.  Our other guest, Heather Jackson runs Realm of Caring - The Roc in Colorado Springs, working on Research, Education, and Advocacy.  The two form a perfect pair helping and educating families with anything from epilepsy to chrones to find the research and solutions they need to heal their children.
