Cherokee Tribune – Local mom continues her fight for medical cannabis

With the issue already on the agenda for the upcoming legislative session, a Holly Springs mom is gearing up for the battle to legalize the only substance that relieves her daughter’s severe seizure disorder — medical cannabis.

Earlier this year, Corey Lowe wasn’t sure if medical cannabis would help her 13-year-old daughter Victoria, who has chronic seizures and cannot speak because of developmental issues.

But after three months of her daughter using the medication in Colorado, where the drug is legal, Lowe is back in Georgia with an even stronger will to get the drug legalized.

“She had 15 seizures on cannabis oil in the summer over three months, verses 15 seizures in a 30-minute period on no cannabis oil,” Lowe said of her daughter’s response to the medical cannabis. “She became more vocal, she spoke for the first time.”
