Kara's father talks about her team of doctors and evaluating different treatment options. His says she takes eight prescription medicines.
"We are not anti-doctor. Cannabis is the best medicine, by far, for halting acute behaviors," he wrote.
"Vapor is not harmful. It is not smoke. High-THC cannabis treatments always work. They stop Kara's acute behaviors 100 percent of the time. It stabilizes her mood within minutes. Her mood usually lasts all day," he wrote.
Kara's father said he has not seen any negative side effects in his daughter and encouraged people to contact Texas leaders.
"Sen Charles Schwertner is the decider and and he needs to hear from Texans at 512-463-0105. Call him and ask for a hearing on medical cannabis," he wrote.
