I am a medical cannabis physician retired to Panama. I used this medicine in Colorado for almost 3 years before moving here. There is no doubt that it has many life improving qualities. We would see at least 3 children a week with severe epilepsy who had their seizures either markedly reduced or completely controlled usually with just CBD alone (which appears to be legal in Panama). Most of my patients were over 50 and suffered from chronic pain and obtained great relief (we discouraged smoking it for chronic pain as it doesn't last long enough in the body). Quality control is extremely important and these products should be tested just like any other medication presented to the public. I'm hoping that we can at least educate the public about the benefits of CBD while waiting for a law to pass.
