Two weeks ago, Mykayla Comstock, in Milwaukie, Oregon was an ordinary 7 year old girl living through an extraordinary ordeal. Sheamp;rsquo;s been battling leukemia since June, when a basketball size tumor was discovered in her chest. Now Mykayla is in the middle of another battle, and in the national spotlight, over whether children should be able to use marijuana to mitigate the crippling effects of chemotherapy. A newly registered member of the stateamp;rsquo;s Medical Marijuana Program, she has consumed a daily gram of cannabis oil, encapsulated in a pill, since shortly after her diagnosis. The leukemia quickly went into remission, say Mykaylaamp;rsquo;s unapologetic parents, and in the months that followed she has been able to cope with the debilitating symptoms associated with her traditional cancer treatments. - The Daily Beast
