​@@bonkbong5692 Lol this 'ignorant country' just legalised medical marijuana whilst it's still illegal in many countries including almost 20 American states, and with a wider potential for application and research than in many other developed, more liberal countries. And backlash from the 'ignorant people'? None, because we're sensible enough to separate recreation from medication.

[@Sophie-pv6nv]

There was a kid at my uni who had seizures during his final exams and this happened twice. He said the only thing that helped his seizures for GOOD was medicinal marijuana. I live in Canada where it is legalized but where I live, you can't smoke it in public. I honestly think smoking is a lot worse for you overall and yet people are more accepting of it. I don't really do drugs but I have friends who smoke weed every day. I know students who smoked weed a lot, made them lazy and got kicked out of uni. BUT, I know students who got into professional colleges and are successful while smoking weed very regularly. As long as it doesn't control their life, it's not a big deal to me.

So odd that the places where herbs are used very often for medicine still have some of the strictest laws on cannabis.

[@TheHawkBubble]

That's exactly what I was thinking. 😕

[@Codacoli]

I might be wrong, but I assumed it was due to international agreements.

[@ns2304]

Cheez on the money. Most Asian nations adopted the same constitutional law structure as European nations after colonization. This included drug laws. and why they are illegal in the us, is funnily another thing. But it works also with the general Asian ethic for discipline and avoidance of intoxicating behaviour. That's where religious values/cultural values reinforce the laws

[@ajlee613]

Marijuana is a plant native to East Asia, in Korea it used to grow plentifully, in North Korea it still does. It has been recorded for thousands of years as a toxic herb that has only ever been used combined with proto-opium and liquor to ease pain during early forms of surgery. and the seed commonly used as a gentle laxative. the reason why they are strict is because they have seen negative effects of marijuana leaf on society for a long time. and also there are many other herbal remedies which do not cause as much damage. as for epilepsy it does help with temporary relief, but like most CNS inhibitors or stimulants, once the body gets used to it, it will no longer be effective and symptoms may become even worse once the use is discontinued. Asian government bodies do indeed remember the harm drugs once brought, and also see first hand the kind of slave labor and brutal criminality in the golden triangle nearby as well as the cartels and petty criminals in the west associated with distribution. -I'm a doctor. still, most anything is better than opiod. if anything, the positive attitude towards marijuana makes it more dangerous. if people had negative attitude towards it, like they do with opioids, than marijuana would much more likely be accepted as people would be less likely to abuse it.

[@ns2304]

@@ajlee613 Thanks for the contextual insight, it truly sheds light on Korea's history with it. But I don't think I would be wrong in stating the nature of the severity for its use and punishment has been strongly due the influence of the government structure put in place following the war and prior colonial activity. Many other Asian countries have an identical law structure when dealing with marijuana use. Then again I'm not well versed in the specifics of this but simply from my observation I agree just as opium was finally deemed detrimental for widespread use marijuana has its side effects. However I think the fine line is the stigma towards the possible medical use for marijuana. It becomes problematic when you lump all of its use with the various ways people intend to consume the drug. So in that sense we see here that clearly it is helping with childhood fits and is proving to be a viable cessation tool without the advent of adverse side effects. There shouldn't be a need to legalize consumption but as a doctor would you agree/disagree there isn't anything lost in allowing it's use and regulation in medical use? It's a very complex issue and alot of the media works to be sensationalist about the matter.

[@ES67376]

I'm surprised at how much marijuana is demonized and feared yet chronic alcohol abuse and excessive cigarette smoking (both of which have multiple TERRIBLE consequences for the body) are so prevalent and flat out encouraged in some cases.

[@OnnaL]

CBD help me with panic/anxiety attacks and it has basically reduced my intake of major pain medication. I am a disabled vet that suffers from PTSD, it is legal in my state. First it was medical marijuana then it became legal for recreational use. I don’t smoke at all but I use the CBD oils, gummy’s and hard candy. It’s not covered though any health insurances but it is reasonably priced. I am of course in the US, but people need to be better informed and educated on the beneficial properties of CBD. The opioids are doing so much more harm than CBD could ever do. I pray that the law makers and the citizens of South Korea rethink their views on this because it can truly change a life for the better.

[@Ultrameowmeow]

OnnaL Marijuana saves lives and saves the planet.. CBD oil is great as well. But all must be legal! CBD oil cured my knee inflammation.. when I had tried everything else from jars of Tiger Balm, sprays, and even anti inflammatory meds! Those only masked symptoms but CBD cured the problem.. and within a day or two! I used the other stuff FOR WEEKS. It’s the real deal. CBD Freeze is what I used. It retails $30 and it’s a roll on available online here in the US.

[@Cruxador]

Yeah, even if CBD is found to have some side effect that we don't know yet (which is possible, because due to federal restrictions there isn't as much research as there should be) how can it be worse than the opioid medications that are currently so widespread?

[@OnnaL]

Cruxador I basically no longer use Hydrocodone anymore plus having to have a contract with doctor and pharmacy for pain management is a pain. That is why I did research on CBD and followed up on using the oil. The only side effect that I found was that I no longer needed to be held back by DUI. Can’t take meds and drive, you don’t get the high from CBD like THC or opioids.

I use a CBD pen (kind of like a vape) for my anxiety and pain too. I tried CBD caps and the first dose was amazing but the next time I tried it it didn't really affect me, even though it was the same type of cap. I tried the gummies but that did absolutely nothing. =\ I think maybe the dose was really low, too low for me. So, at least for now, I will stick to my pen.

[@msmeowmeow5107]

That's so sad. I live in Colorado and there would be no problem if my child needed CBD oil. If I were somewhere that it's illegal, I would 100% acquire it to help my child. I hope, wish, and pray that her kid can get the medicine he needs.

[@andrewwatson9805]

Morphine is a drug that relieves pain, but as an opiate has hallucinogenic effects and is incredibly addictive, yet can be prescribed by a doctor in South Korea. CBD oil has medical benefits, is not hallucinogenic, and is not addictive, but can't be prescribed. I'm shocked that a country like South Korea shackles its medical professionals in such a way.

[@Meow_meow_meow_meow_]

Medical Marijuana just got legalized in South Korea!!

[@a11thtsgld93]

Right, and that is precisely why morphine is so valuable, because it is extremely powerful in situations where other painkillers aren't enough. There wasn't enough research around medical marijuana to make the same claims until recently, and guess what, Korea's legalised it now! Which is a lot more than can be said for a lot of more 'liberal' countries.

[@delaineyjohnson8238]

I'm a Neuropsychology student that studies the behavioral effects of epilepsy. I'm really glad Asian Boss and this parent attempted to research and test CBD oil. This was a huge issue and still is in many states here in the US. Parents could not get legislation to approve giving CBD oil to their children with rare epilepsy in southern states and had to quit jobs and move out of state to legalized states. Not all of US approves of giving CBD oil to kids, either. But, doctors in Colorado and California have researched it extensively, seeing results almost immediately. Brain surgery (resections) takes out area of the brain were localization is believed to trigger seizures and take out that part of the brain. This hardly works and has gotten so extreme that entire halves of brains are removed. As a parent, I'm glad she wanted surgery to be a last option. CBD oil has helped many kids with LGS and even Dravet Syndrome (another form of rare epilepsy), I think even cortical dysplasia, recover when they were taking up to 12 tablets a day and so drugged they were almost comatose. Last, I think it is the Pharma companies that do not want people taking this here in the US (not sure about Korea). If parents spend money solely on CBD oil they won't be shelling out close to 2-5 grand US on pharmaceuticals. There are about 40 different types of epilepsies, and if patients with less severe forms of epilepsy stop taking pharmaceuticals to take CBD oil I'm sure they're worried about the loss even though it may be a miracle oil for some.

I also worked as a carer during going to uni to take care of a severely disabled boy. He had a very similar condition and though he was 14 he was like a baby. If people understood the deep love but also heavy sorrow of the parents who try to help their children, AND the research that is being conducted, policies would change. With more and more research and evidence, I hope legislation can change in the next few decades. It must be absolutely heart breaking to know there is something that could help, its legal in some countries, but you cannot get hold of it.

I wish more education would be put into force regarding the properties of cannabis plant. Like sugar, fat and Acid it has great qualities and bad ones. We're only realising the balance of both in regards to the results of addiction to sugar and alcoholism...and the ill effects of Nicotine is far worse. CBD has none of the hallucinogenic traits of Marijuana, but even Marijuana when used spsparingly can be fine. There are many countries that do fine with it legalised. Drugs such as crack, heorin and ecstasy have detrimental effects. Otherwise alcohol is the worst offender for crime

I would really like CBD oil to be more received in various countries in Asia, the notion of "Traditional Medicine" (Like traditional chinese medicine, acupuncture, etc.) is too heavily relied on in asia, in essence it is a form of homeopathy but marketed to the extreme. I believe that concepts of progressive medical discovery like CBD is hindered in Asia because it hurts the Asian homeopathy industry. That isn't to say that I don't trust Traditional Chinese Medicine at all since I can still get a little "Lower heat" with a herbal tea or warm myself up with some Ginseng Medicine, but it is too heavily relied on for serious medical issues like these.

Being on strong pain killers for that long destroys your organs and over time has many negative psychological effects too. Many of my clients have been transitioning from pain meds to CBD products and it has been amazing to witness. They are regaining cognitive abilities and some have even seen improvements in thier internal systems sin e it is so much gentler for the body to process. ALL have been able to reduce the number of medications they need to take. I think CBD is important for the progress of medicine in the upcoming decades.

Amazing video and an amazing woman. I hope legislation and science progress fast enough to solve this problem.

[@sookyb]

YES! THANK YOU FOR COVERING THIS! This is more of what Koreans need to see.

[@kyunikeon]

I work in the medical care, and I give this to my clients as well and the effects are really positive. I really wish other country sees this as a medicine as well and not a drug that's causes trouble.

[@veronicawilliamsworth2981]

Personally thinking about this the people must be aware about the usefulness of CBD and She is doing a great job as a mother helping his son from this syndrome.

[@ScarlettKriss]

I can understand if this country and culture want to keep marijuana illegal, BUT Asian countries often use dangerous plants as medicine safely. So why not CBD oil?

[@p.j.3804]

I left my former state for a state where marijuana is legal, for health reasons. I am often ill and my husband has PTSD from the military. Products containing CBD and marijuana have helped us with pain and mental stability. We have lots of programs in our state to prohibit sales to underaged people. The products are also inspected for safe consumption. Doctors here encourage patients to use CBD and marijuana, as it is safer than most commercial drugs. If I were that mother, I would either move to the Western U.S., or fight every day to legalize CBD for children suffering from her child's condition.

I feel like she’s the best mother who truly cares for her child..

Eu adorei! Força! As mães vão revolucionar o mundo! As mães da América Latina estão com o mesmo problema é quando ousam, encontram a solução! Aqui médicos podem prescrever mas o preço é muito caro. Porém com pouco é fácil cuidar de sua planta ilegal. O passo aqui é entrar na justiça para obter autorização, quando não se tem dinheiro ou o sintético não funciona. E aí? Nem isso?

[@melvin5818]

This is so sad but korea pass a law last year that medical marijuana is legal i hope she didn't have to wait too long to get help for her son.

[@xxnike0629xx]

The problem with marijuana is the stereotypes and the stigma associated with it. From what I've been told (since I don't smoke any kind of substance and never have) it's actually less harmful than cigarettes, but cigarettes are legal when you're of a certain age due to it having a high chance of causing health detriments which ultimately leads to people needing hospitalization, doctor visits, pharmaceutical drugs, etc. The government, agencies, and the pharmaceutical companies are making it their job to make sure marijuana is still stigmatized and considered a dangerous substance. On top of that, the media and news exacerbate the situation by making marijuana seem totally bad and cigarettes somehow are still legal even though we know how negatively and the high chance of addiction it has. I agree that South Korea and other nations need to look at marijuana again and study it for what it actually is and not the highly politicized substance these people are trying to convince people it is. There are so many benefits of medical marijuana but these companies want to keep people sick.

[@2Infinit2]

It's less harmful than alcohol and cigarettes. But places like Korea in Asia are just brainwashed into thinking it's the worst thing in the world. One of the few things that drives me insane about the Korean culture that, generally, I love very much. It's hard to change any kind of stigmatized view in this country (the look at people with HIV Like they have the plague and will not even go near them )

[@xxnike0629xx]

@Benny I know how you feel and I agree. In Korean American born and raised in the US but I have family there and my parents are originally from there and immigrated to the US and got married. I still have some family living there and their mentality is very different on many things compared to American ways of thinking. They seem to have the opinion that HIV is like the plague. Yes it’s an STI and spreading it is bad for others but you shouldn’t view people with it as if they’re less human. The same for marijuana where they don’t understand all the facts and just go by what they’re told on TV and what they hear from the news. But this isn’t just South Korea as many people in general just use one news source and assume it’s all factual when they should be getting informed from a variety of sources and then deciding on their own. The thing with marijuana is that there are some cons like any substances but there’s also a lot of benefits from what I’ve looked up about it. Yes some end up being social degenerates, hallucinate, maybe harm people, or maybe commit crimes. But there’s actual medicinal benefits. It’s just that the government in many countries still don’t understand or maybe they do and don’t care since cigarettes are ultimately more harmful and profitable to major companies. It’s messed up.

that's very sad, about the perception of HIV-sufferers, Benny . ),,,,,,:

[@buttarain27]

@@xxnike0629xx You'd be surprised to know that a lot of high social status people smoke or use marijuana, just the media wants to portray it as something only low social status people use. Also, most people don't commit crimes involving weed (except for the sale of it, if it's not legal in their area), most violent crimes center around cocaine and opium and violent domestic attacks center around alcohol. So even you still have some stigmas as well.

[@naydsedad6347]

@@2Infinit2 Your country needs more lecture seminars and information drive about HIV.... 😱😱😱 I cannot just imagine why your people act way worse than my country when it comes to people having HIV... Taking Retroviral drugs consistently will help a patient and also with these drugs they could still have a normal life just like us.

Mothers would do anything for their child as long as they'll get better. Hopefully Korea will let down their barriers since marijuana can be beneficial to some people

this is really heartbreaking 😩

it changed! medical marijuana is legal now

[@emj602]

This resonates with me because after Oregon legalized it, my dad who has anxiety, depression, sleep apnea, and heart issues started using the medical strain to help him sleep and calm down. And at first I was disgusted because it had been drilled into my head that marijuana is bad but I saw how much it helps him and so I have expanded my mind.

[@wolfpuppers]

Personally I live in the netherlands and I'm not a huge fan of marijuana because a lot of people here use it just for fun or they are tourists who just come here to try marijuana. But medically I feel like it should be legal everywhere, Even if it's not legal to buy it for your own pleasure, it should be legal for medical reasons.

[@zizzle995]

just found out that med. marijuana is now legal in SK and immediately thought about this video!! I hope now this woman doesnt have to go through trouble to treat her son :)

I don't know why but I am literally crying right now I hope her son gets the medication he needs for his health to improve and would be able to walk and move properly

its legal now!!! they changed the law this week

She's a good mother

[@mar1bora]

My mother does a lot of fitness and martial arts training. And because of how hard her training was she started to have a lot of pain that was really hard ease. She took CBD oil through a vape and it had taken the pain away almost immediately. Even my granpa takes the gummies for his medical problems. I think the medicinal part of marijuana should at least be legal to everyone
