A dad who claims cannabis oil helped him fight terminal cancer is setting up a foundation in his name in Liverpool.

David Hibbitt was just 30 when he was diagnosed with bowel cancer that had spread around his body.

Chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy failed to rid him of the disease and David was given no more than two years to live in February 2014.

The Virginia Senate passed a bill that will allow the production and manufacturing of two different marijuana oils for patients with epilepsy. It's called the Medical Marijuana Program Improvement bill.    

Last year, two bills gave epilepsy patients a defense if found in possession of cannabis oils. But, the law provided no way for patients to actually obtain the oils without breaking federal and state laws.

That's where this latest bill would change things.

My husband and I didn’t know quite what to expect as a petite woman in neon green scrubs escorted us to a small tent.

Waiting at a folding table was a gray-haired plastic surgeon from Los Angeles in a white lab coat. Large headphones covered his ears, and he was snacking on nuts.

“What is your condition?” he asked without making eye contact. His pen was poised above a medical marijuana referral form.

I was about to experience firsthand a process the state is working to reform: how Californians get medical marijuana cards.

12- year old Cyndimae Meehan suffers from Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy that causes a child to have up to 100 seizures a day. In this YouTube video, her mother is seen administering cannabis oil to the inside of Cyndimae's lower lip during a seizure.

By giving Cyndimae the oil in that location, it gets the oil into the bloodstream faster. Every second counts when seizures lead to breathing problems and the child starts turning blue.

Within seconds of getting the cannabis oil into her bloodstream, Cyndimae's seizure stops in its tracks, and she returns to normal in a matter of seconds, even smiling and talking to her mom. 

The effect of cannabis on human brain is complex and affects everyone differently. Hence, health experts, due to lack of extensive research on the effects of marijuana, caution people to be careful when smoking weed. A new research has attempted to clear up misinformation about cannabis effects by examining how weed increases the risk of substance abuse disorders and mental disorders.

NEVADA COUNTY, CA (KTRK) --

Eight-year-old Silas Hurd has his good days and his bad days.

Video of Hurd is hard to watch as he suffers from debilitating seizures.

His father, Forrest Hurd, took video of his son as he lay disabled so people can see why he says the boy needs medicinal marijuana.

"The county has banned any production," Forrest Hurd says.

Silas has a rare type of epilepsy resistant to many medications, but after many tries, his family found a compound of cannabis, a medicinal oil, that kept his seizures in check.

"Before we found the strain, we didn't think Silas was going to make it through the year," Forrest says. "He was having 50 seizures a day, and nothing was helping."

A new study suggests that smoking marijuana as an adult is not linked with anxiety disorders, including depression and other bipolar disorders,Medical News Today Reports.

Marijuana, best-known for its "feel-good" effects and touted for its ability to relieve various symptoms of illness and disease, can also be damaging, especially when overused.

When weed's active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), hits the brain, it causes brain cells to release the feel-good chemical dopamine. Dopamine is a part of the brain's reward system — it's the same chemical that makes us feel good when we do enjoyable things such as eating and having sex.
