Does Autism allow us to smoke medical Marijuana legally? any one know?

what state do you live in?

we don't have that in my state but it would be cool if we did

Florida

I've never read anything about marijuana helping autism in any way. have you?

I think that would be pretty cool. it could possibly be used to help anxiety

Sounds more like the OP just wants a legal excuse to smoke weed without having to worry about getting arrested.

That's the same impression that I'm getting.

not that there's anything wrong with that

Don't be so quick to come to such a conclusion. Marijuana can be very beneficial to some people with mental disorders when used moderately. Strange how it's looked down upon so much more than legal antidepressants and antipsychotics that are potentially deadly.

I'd like some so I can give it to my wife - it does wonders for her anxiety and depression. (Can't use it myself, because it makes my lungs seize up, which is in my opinion a Bad Thing.) Sadly, in Washington, neither her condition nor mine calls for medical pot. (California does include anxiety among the conditions officially treated so, but that would require living in Cali, a sacrifice neither of us is willing to make...)

It does in California. Pretty much any medical condition does in California as long as you have the records to back it up.

Edit: You're probably out of luck in Florida though, since that state doesn't explicitly allow medical marijuana (which means there are no docs selling recommendations for cash (and since there is no empirical evidence showing that marijuana helps Autism, a legit doc will probably not write you a recommendation)).

I dont smoke and dont condone such activities but there is no way of getting it in florida legally.

agreed

Heck, in CA after this up coming election, anyone may be able to legally obtain and smoke pot, medical conditions aside.

I seem to remember one study that suggested marijuana had some helpful effects for autistics. That said . . . Florida, no. It's a fairly conservative state despite its free tourist image.
