marijuana and autism

[momac]

Hi. I am new to the forum. My 10 year old son is autistic and very aggressive. I have read tremendenous things about marijuana and calming effects. He currently takes a "cocktail" of pharmacueticals that seem to do nothing but make him worse and more edgy. Anyone out there used it for this purpose? I made cookies tonight, using an oil derivative of the marijuana and let him have 1. So far a little more mellow...hard to tell.
Just looking to see if anyone out there has any dosing suggestions. Seeing our developmental pediatrician to discuss in a week.

thank you!!

i personally dont condone marijuana with young children, however medical cases that havent been helped with other medications is the one area i am for. Obviously marijuana wont fix the autism, unfortunatly. However it can help the mood swings and such. depending on where u live, its possible to get a med card for ur son, so that u can purchase the correct marijuana. U should stick to indicas. indicas are a more mellowing type. it helps people with sleep disorders.
the stronger the oil/butter, the better it works. we have some good recipes on the homepage. u can also grow ur own by ordering seeds of a indica dominent or pure indica and having a cheaper supply of correct medication.

I could see it as possibly helping with autism, or making it worse. But you should consult a doctor on this. One who is familiar with the effects of eating vs. smoking, and sativa vs. indica, etc. etc....

I have a close friend with a severely autistic son. So I have some idea of what it's like, and how desperately you would like to make both his life and yours better.
