By age seven, Jeffrey had already been prescribed more than a dozen drugs to control his violent rages. Nothing had helped.

Then state officials gave Jeffrey's mother an ultimatum: Find something to help your son or lose him to institutional lock-down.

Extensive research convinced this conservative, Christian mother that medical marijuana could be her son's last hope.

Jeffrey's Journey chronicles the success of Jeffrey's treatment, as well as the family's court battle defending their son's right to unconventional medicine.

This family's story makes clear that, for parents, the need to relieve a child's suffering must transcend politics.

"This is an interesting case report of the successful use of medical marijuana to treat a serious personality disorder in a child. As an individual case it does not prove anything. But it certainly suggests the safety of medical marijuana and the possibility of using it as an alternative to more toxic psychiatric medications in selected patients."

- Andrew Weil, M.D.
