Before it was called Charlotte's Web, the strain had a different name: "Hippie's Disappointment." The growers named it that because it was so low in THC that nobody wanted it. Then they met 5-year-old Charlotte Figi. She had Dravet syndrome and was having up to 300 seizures a week. On oil made from that strain, her seizures dropped to about 2 or 3 a month. She started walking and talking again. Her story set off the medical CBD movement. In 2018, the FDA approved Epidiolex, the first prescription drug made from a cannabis compound. It was also the first drug ever approved for Dravet. Charlotte passed away in 2020 at 13. The strain nobody wanted still carries her name 💚
