DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Cannabis is coming to Dallas. That's how a new company is promoting products to sell to the public that has the same chemical ingredient as marijuana.
This is not a medical marijuana firm opening in Dallas, but it is promoting the health and medicinal benefits of marijuana's cannabis cousin hemp.
Four-year-old Harper Howard became the local example of the benefits of using cannabis hemp oil. Her seizures are decreased, according to her mother, due to the cannabis hemp oil she takes orally. That same oil is now part of a series of skin and energy products marketed in a new Dallas office.
The makers can sell the items legally, and Harper's mother believes others will benefit.
"Adding this product to her diet took us from 10 to 12 seizures a day to 3-5. It cut them in half," said Penny Howard.
The products will be available for sale on January 24 at the Kannaway Company.
In Texas, it's illegal to grow cannabis, but there's state legislation on the table to change that so that epilepsy sufferers can use the oil.
