Charlotte's Web

Charlotte’s Web is a Sativa leaning hybrid that was derived from industrial hemp. This award-winning medical strain was specifically bred for and named after Charlotte Figi, a five-year-old girl who at the time was suffering seizures due to having Dravet Syndrome. After being administered Charlotte’s Web, it was found she experienced a dramatic decrease in seizures. Charlotte’s Web was created in 2012 by Colorado-based breeders, The Stanley Brothers of Realm of Caring. This strain was selected based on high CBD content and was originally named “Hippie’s Disappointment” due to its less than 1% THC content. The Stanley Brothers gained international media recognition in 2013 when Charlotte’s Web first featured in a CNN documentary called “Weed”.
