Its to bad there's a lack of responses for this subject but I'm not surprised. Autism is a very debatable topic that the everyday person isn't really exposed too.

I've never thought about the use of cannabis for Autism. I have a sibling that's been diagnosed with a form of autism. I wish I was more knowledgable in the area. Go to google and type: medical marijuana and autism. I found alot of results. I guess there is a study out there dedicated to MMJ and autism. I would've never guessed.

I can't decide if it sounds like a good idea. I'm all for MMJ but with some autism comes forms of mental retardation.. and it would seem almost cruel to subject those patients to MMJ. Would they have any idea whats going on with there body? But for Autism where severe mental challenges arn't so present, with anxiety and social disorders I think it is a good idea. MMJ would seem to fit that bill quite perfectly. But again I'm not as knowledgeable as I wish I was... so I'm gonna do some research.

Thanks for bringing it up Crossbreed. Do you have autism yourself? Any luck with the research?
