// From the Episode
Jessica Hawkins joined Hash Church 031 to share her daughter Nia's story. Nia, a 10-year-old with Dravet Syndrome, was having hundreds of seizures daily, was mostly non-verbal, and confined to a wheelchair. After starting CBD oil treatment in December, Nia slept through the night seizure-free for the first time, woke up giggling, and began walking. Bubbleman described it as one of the most powerful medical cannabis testimonials the show had featured.
