Marijuana...the new miracle drug??

[aneaglesangel]

I found this online when someone mentioned to me that they were using marijuana with autistic children and getting good results with it. I found this extremely fascinating!! When I grew up, my best friend's brother suffered autism. He was scary, to say the least! He was extremely aggressive and assaultive, and would rock in his rocking chair hard enough to break the wall with his head. I used to wonder how he never fractured his skull doing it, they couldn't get a helmet on his head, I'm sure! He probably would have thrown it at them or bashed their heads in with it. Yes, he was that scary to me! My friend and I used to run like the wind when he came after us. We were older and bigger than him, but he sure ruled the world! Watching these kids in the video really makes me wonder if marijuana would have helped her little brother to behave more calmly. I know later on he was like a genius with engines and had a little more control, but what would it have done for him as a child? What could it be doing for him now? The more I read, the more I say, legalize it already! Yes, I do say that, you saw me type it!! Everything I've read about it as of late says it's less harmful than alcohol and well, the medical benefits of it make me think there are a lot of sick people who could benefit from its use!! And if a few autistic children end up having a better quality of life because of it, hell I say feed it to them!!
