Could cannabis help stop the debilitating muscle spasms of Stiff Person Syndrome? 

Jennifer Shanley of Rochester, New York, is on a journey to pinpoint the perfect cannabis strains to help her 22-year-old daughter Madeline. in September 2018, Madeline was struck with a sudden and mysterious illness that stole her life away abruptly. Once a college honors student at Nazareth College, Madeline found herself 100% bed-bound and in constant and excruciating muscle spasms.

After years of searching and financial hardships, a two-month stay at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore finally led to the diagnosis of Stiff-Person Syndrome or SPS, a rare one-in-a-million autoimmune and neurological muscular disorder.

 This is a painful story to share, but it’s also a story of Hope for Madeline and her family. You don’t want to miss this episode!

Highlights from the conversation include: 

•  Why are they looking to cannabis for relief

•  What SPS is and how it affects Madeline

•  How the New York medical cannabis program failed Madeline
