Excerpt:

PORTLAND, Ore. - A 7-year-old girl suffering from leukemia has become one of Oregon's youngest medical marijuana patients. Mykayla Comstock's mother credits the drug with helping put the cancer into remission. But her father, worried about the effects of the drug on her brain development, alerted child welfare officials to the treatment. Mykayla was diagnosed with leukemia last spring and the marijuana eases the effects of chemotherapy, according to her mother.  The girl takes a gram of cannabis oil daily, The Oregonian reported.
