Erin Purchase, 25, shows how she prepares homemade capsules containing a cannabis oil extract, which have successfully helped her daughter, Mykayla Comstock, 7, of Pendleton, OR. USA treat her acute t-cell lymphoblastic leukemia. With her blood cell counts returned to normal, Comstock is not hospitalized like many cancer patients, Purchase said. She is raising Mykayla with partner Brandon Krenzler and, daughter, Ryleigh, and says she won’t stop giving cannabis to her children until Mykayla’s cancer is officially in remission in two years. Mykayla is one of just more than 50 minors in the Oregon Medical Marijuana program. Photo by Daniel Berman/www.bermanphotos.com
