For parents like Lisa and Bobby Smith, Beth and Patrick Colins, and Teresa Elder and her daughter Ashley, marijuana is not about getting high \u2013 it\u2019s about getting their children well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Watch preview: <a href=\"http:\/\/nbcnews.to\/1AIpDuW\">http:\/\/nbcnews.to\/1AIpDuW<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">\u201cGrowing Hope\u201d takes a rare look at the lives of children with intractable epilepsy, which is often fatal, and the extraordinary sacrifices these parents make to change state law to improve their children\u2019s lives. Over a six month period, NBC News correspondent Harry Smith interviews these Virginia-based families as they embark on a united mission to legalize CBD and THCA oils, compounds that come from the marijuana and hemp plants. This non-psychoactive strain of medicinal marijuana has shown promise in reducing chronic seizures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Smith shares their heartbreaking stories and the tremendous obstacles they face while navigating state law and a complicated medical system that provides limited options for those suffering with these extreme forms of epilepsy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Dateline documents the debate over legalization in Virginia and the stigma attached to marijuana with the Colorado-based Stanley Brothers, the creators of the CBD oil known as &#8220;Charlotte&#8217;s Web, as well as Dr. Amy Brooks-Kayal, President of the American Epilepsy Society and Governor Terry McAuliffe of Virginia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Dateline&#8217;s &#8220;Growing Hope&#8221; airs Sunday, June 7 at 7p\/6c on NBC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">###<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Dateline NBC is the award-winning newsmagazine known for its distinctive storytelling on a wide range of topics from true crime investigations and mysteries, to breaking news reports and special series.
