At the age of 9, Rylie began assisting to change several Delaware laws to help pediatric patients gain safe legal access to medicinal cannabis. Rylie’s Law was the first and given her name by legislators. In the following years with the help of the nonprofit she was able to assist in the addition of several more laws to ensure a more equal access for disabled pediatric patients. Some of theses include adding Access to Medicinal Cannabis for Patients on School Grounds, adding Severe Autism to the Pediatric Qualifying Conditions and the Pediatric Compassionate Use Law which allows specialists to recommend cannabis for a medical condition not on the qualifying list. Rylie continues her advocacy and speaking engagements internationally to help legislators, policy makers, patients, medical students and medical professionals understand the importance of pediatric patients having access to safe dependable alternative medications and for their physicians to be involved. She reminds decision makers of the many intricate hurdles pediatric families face to access legal alternative medicines and the stigmas patients must overcome. Thus far she has been able to assist in Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, South Africa and many of the U.S. states.
