Cannabis as medication for Asperger?
No refs. to back up his claims.

More effort needed. You need to actually research stuff before you talk about it. If you do this one more time we will have to assume that you are just baiting us, and we will attempt to have your contribution stricken from the stuck record you keep going round and round on.
When I say 'we', I think I mean me, or 'us'. But then I'm too drugged up and schizophrenic to know the difference.
lol
Typing a long run-on sentence instead of using punctuation is annoying and is considered incorrect for a reason and that is because it's stupid and it's really annoying to read and it's obnoxious and fj;kldsagfdsaf;kla
But anyway... someone consulting a doctor to be medicated for anxiety is very likely to be put on something that destroys the libido, causes drastic weight gain, and increases the risk of diabetes. The drug war is all about money. The government doesn't give two f***s about what will or won't kill you.

yeah its a shame, in my eyes there is no objective difference between medicating one way or the other.
everything is toxic at the wrong amounts and i dare you to look up mortality rates of some prescription drugs and compare them, i dont know but i bet it would be interesting.
im gonna get back to you on that.
it is true that it can worsen some psychological phenomena, but that is all so subjective that no universal rule can be determined at this point in time.

Cannabis is less toxic than potato.
A sensible definition of 'Non toxic' means you can eat a sustaining dose of it without getting sick (Note, not 'high'. That's psychoactivity not toxicity).
Sugar (sucrose) will prove to be deadly if you can eat 3kg quickly. It is not possible to consume this amount of the cannabis plant or it's active ingredients without first falling asleep and forgetting where the plant is.
Prescription drugs kill around a 100,000 people each year.
Compare this with Cannabis at 0 deaths per year.
Alcohol - 2.5 million deaths
Tobacco - 5.5 million deaths
Strawberries contain more natural Polonium than Tobacco! A smoker only gets 17% of his lifetime Polonium 210 intake from smoke, the rest is from food
Drinking too much water too fast will kill you... no one is recommending that you stop drinking water.
The federal government had invested deeply in spreading fear and misinformation about marijuana. If they want you to pay attention to something, they shove it in your face. If they want you to ignore it, they make it go away. Area 51 exists but, officially, it still does not.
I wish someone had the stats on marijuana convictions... how many people are in prison for possessing personal quantities alone. Many of the for profit prisons in Texas would be out of business if not for the war on drugs, marijuana in particular.

AceOfSpades: I would disagree on the disorganised thought, in fact I can think more focused when I smoke, less distraction.
Personnaly, I believe that trying to convince some people that cannabis does have beneficial effects is a little like convince a priest that god doesn't exist. They based their "factual evidence" on pure faith and does certainly not come from a reflexion process with facts!
If a friend of mine dies because he choked himself with a piece of chicken, should we make chicken illegal? This is how absurd some arguments sounds to me, unrelated cause and action leads to misinformation and stop human evolution...
Ming the Merciless (Luke Flanagan) has just been elected to the Dáil representing Roscommon - South Leitrim. The sound of his supporters was fantastic when his count came through last night.
So Ireland now has one open supporter of the legalisation of cannabis for personal use in its parliament.

(Personal disclaimer: I do not believe that cannabis has any role whatsoever in the treatment of people with autism, but good luck to Luke Flanagan).

AceofSpade. Ok, I understand what you mean. I do also have a chaotic thinking (going from global to details to subject change), but I'm used to change one thought to another and doesn't really bothers me, in facts it helps me finding solutions and my creativity. It's just that I feel more focus on my own thinking process than what's happening outside. I get less distracted by surrounding noise and other stimulis so I'm less prone to do many things at the same time.
Alcohol was illegal at one point, but no one complains about it today. Tobacco is worse than weed, don't know a way you can absorb that and not get carcinogens.
The reason it is illegal is hardly credible.
Looking at this:
I'd say there is a big issue with alcoholic drinks and tobacco being legal.

In NZ I attend a club called The Daktory.
'Dak' is NZ slang for cannabis.
Being autistic and being around other stoners is quite good. What stoners expect of you as a person, is different than than what is expected of you by a non cannabis user.
I like stoners, and I like the fact that I can be socially poor, and it doesnt really matter to them.
The only girls I really meet are stoner girls, non stoner girls dont want to know me!!
Cannabis is bigger than just medication or pleasure, it is a freedom song in a world that says no to autistic people, in the same way it says no to useful plants.
If you say no to useful plants and quote authority, legality and state, you may as well say no to neurodiverse people. Cannabis makes you neurodiverse.....
Has anyone seen the movie 'The Big Lebowski'?
