50 children and teens under 18 in Oregon using medical marijuana
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- A 7-year-old Gladstone girl with leukemia is not the only child in Oregon using medical marijuana.
KATU reports there are a total of 50 children under 18 and nine of those are under 14.
There is no age limit to be a medical marijuana card holder in Oregon. Those under 18 just need their parents' permission.
Seven-year-old Mykayla Comstock is believed to be the youngest user in the state. Her mother gives her a gram of cannabis oil a day to counter the effects of chemotherapy.
