A little girl from Tuscon, Arizona in U.S. who suffered from a rare condition causing such debilitating and dangerous seizures that she was put into a coma, has been cured by cannabis.

Annalise Lujan, 12, was taking part in a gymnastics class when she began vomiting and lost all feeling in her legs.

She suffered a severe seizure and was rushed to hospital where paramedics put her in a medically induced coma to stop any further damage being caused to her brain.

“We had no idea that our whole world would be 180-degrees turned around in such devastation, such heartache, such confusion.”

The condition was causing Annalise to suffer constant seizures which can prove to be fatal, but normal epilepsy medication was ineffective against FIRES.

She lobbied for the drug, which has low levels of THC which is the active ingredient making people ‘high’, to be given to her daughter.

Doctors had to rush through its approval with the FDA and DEA as the drug was not yet approved.

After just three treatments the schoolgirl was able to be brought out of her coma, and no longer suffers from the crippling seizures.

Her mother said: “She opened her eyes, and she was scared. She was afraid. She cried. And, I whispered to her that she was very strong, she’s beautiful, and she’s strong, and she needed to keep breathing, and she did
