I live in California and for me CBD oil has worked better than all seizure medication or pain killers with fewer/none side effects. We have dispensaries to get it here

Ty. We bought it at CW botanicals it's the same oil that Charlotte Figi took called charlottes web.. You can also join their non profit web site Realm Of Caring. They answer all your questions... I also recently heard of one called Haleigh's Hope... These are two of the best online.
