Redfield told the Post that having two respiratory outbreaks would burden the health care system.

Grateful readers have had pizza and Vietnamese sandwiches delivered to the Seattle Times' newsroom, she said. Following the day's news is what most journalists are oriented toward doing, and some might consider service features boring or something that readers can look up online, he said.

That drug, a treatment for two rare types of epilepsy, inspired researchers to consider what other conditions cannabis might help. Hollander believes the cannabis extract holds hope for treating autism symptoms based on the success it's had reducing seizure activity.
