Breaking News - Cannabinoid Science & Autism

I think this is worse than spam... it is pure BS.

I came from a 1960s/1970s culture where it was rare to find anyone who did not partake, and although I find it much easier to list the substances I did NOT try at least once back in those days than to list those that I DID use, I actually never did like the cannabis based substances at all. It forced me too deeply into my shell (back when I had no idea that I was an Aspie and that this was the reason why) when I wanted so desperately to be able to relate to people better. My favorites were the psychedelics and especially the great number 25.

This so called medical report looks more to me like an effort to gain recognition by some fly-by-night group who want some way to further their agenda. It reminds me of a meeting that was arranged one time back in the Spring of 1972 between my crowd of friends (about a dozen of us) and a representative of NORML. That guy was so full of BS that every last one of us found some excuse to step out one by one and go someplace else, eventually leaving the poor guy from NORML sitting there alone.

It is high time the demonization of weed is called out and disproven once and for all. (Is it just me or does anyone else always put obvious puns in obvoius places?) Marijuana has too many active priniciples and has proven beneficial effects for some many disorders, research is not only warranted, it is criminal that it is being withheld.

Not every medication is effective for all people. Personally, pot does nothing positive for me and I abstain. But I have seen it work wonders for cancer patients, people with anxiety disorders and, in one case, bipolar. Many on the specturm also feel it has benefits. Considering the possibly benefits far outweigh the possible side effects, more power to them.

Cannabis will make some things like reading people possibly harder, but for anxiety its a winner.

Cannabis tinctures were the #1 medicine! not so long a go!

The problem today is smoking can never truly be linked with medical marijuana. Once you have used cannabis sublingually, and stopped smoking, could an argument for medpot be validated. A good vapouriser on low temp is probably not harmful.

As I've mentioned before, the cannabis club I attend has quite a few autistics. Socialising with other cannabis users seems easy for them, both parties are considerably de stressed after imbibing THC, so oh hey your an aspie? cool

It relaxed me enough to be social when I was a teen and in my early 20's. All the pictures of me from that time period the ones where I was smiling in were the ones where I was stoned. I did not feel like something bad was going to happen. I also did not think that someone was being nice to me to set me up.

There are people who understand how children develop they can study the chemical effects on people and make a logical guess about how it will effect children. Using children as experimental lab rats is not justified.

your link is clearly from a politically biased/motivated site btw. Also the study's data they are using isn't available to the public, so I have no reason to take the authors words as facts, In addition the effects of cannabis(indirectly) on a fetus are not necessarily the same as cannabis(directly) on a developing child.

Here is the original study, it says the same even though it is written by a pro-children organisation.

What he said!

You should contact Dr Leicester Grinspoon if you have any concerns about cannabis and paediatric safety

I have not suggested anything that would hamper research to any meaningful degree.

okay... so how do they explore the use of cannabis for children without including children in the process?
