Cannabis: A Treatment For Autism – GMA

‘More Research Is Needed, But Difficult to Fund Due to Stigma, Experts Say’

This GMA clip features the use of cannabis as a treatment for autism.

Hester-Perez made her decision to try giving her 10-year-old son, Joey Perez, medical marijuana after his weight had become dangerously low due to his unwillingness to eat. She said that at the time she began the approach, he weighed only 46 pounds.

“You could see the bones in his chest. He was going to die,” she said.

“The marijuana balanced my son,” said Hester-Perez, noting that she has never used marijuana herself. “My son had self-injurious behaviors. He was extremely aggressive, he would run out of our house… he was a danger to himself and others.”

But just hours after she gave him one of the pot-infused brownies, she said she could see a change — both in his appetite and demeanor.

“Within hours, he requested foods we had never seen him eat before,” said Hester-Perez.

    Thank you for this video. My son is severely autistic with savage self
    injurious behavior. He goes through health damaging insomnia, self abuse
    and anorexia. My son as well, has had adverse effects to anti-psychotics.
    In fact, he’s been hospitilized severeal times from adverse reactions to
    anti-psychotics. Medical cannabis hasn’t shown these terrible reactions.
    Though, I am no raving advocate for MMJ for autism, and in fact, have been
    an anti-MMJ person, I have found this therapy to be good.

    I can also guarantee you that the ritalin and probably some other fairly
    heavy substances are getting him way more “stoned” than the brownies are.

    @ObamamustnukeFoxnews – It helps people Physically and Mentally helps. It
    gives people hope. Because of the illegal and irrational laws which have
    been passed in this country (and elsewhere in the world), we are 30 or 40
    years behind on Cannibis research.

    We have in our brains receptors specifically created/designed only for THC
    and the other cannabinoids in Marijuana. This is a design by God. It is
    perfect. Humans cannot do better. Is it just by accident? I think not. The
    user that posted this video has some other good videos on the subject.

    -having the brainwashed lady say “it may cause addiction & schizophrenia”
    is not reasonable. The evidence of the benefits of cannabis is overwhelming
    & it is only those in the conservative culture bubble who are being
    shielded from the evidence. Cannabis is addictive like shopping is
    addictive: not addictive in the drug sense, but only the potential for
    learned addiction exists. Furthermore, the risk for psychosis is like that
    seen in people who use caffeine; less than 1% have schizophrenia gene

    the medical providers are saying “IT COULD BE DANGEROUS” BECAUSE THEY
    HAVEN’T PATENTED IT YET TO MAKE MONEY FOR THEMSELVES. there’s tons of
    medicines out there (which i believe aided in killing my mother) that were
    not proven but were used to test patients…so bullshit to the FDA for
    making everything about money especially HEALTH

    It baffles me that people before the internet was really around would say
    “Where’s your proof” and now there are 1000’s of documented experiences and
    studies to disprove anything the Government has said about Cannabis, if you
    believe the propaganda with evidence like this then you’re a moron. I’m an
    adult with autism, Cannabis makes me feel so normal and like everyone else
    I cannot describe, and people who are sick don’t get this mind boggling
    high a perfectly healthy person would get from it.

    I suffered a brain injury, Chronic Neuropathic Pain, PTSD (from being
    neglected and mistreated), and Arthritis as a result of being thrown from,
    dragged, and crushed by three rail cars. I only use marijuana for all my
    symptoms. Works great but I cannot get enough and any long delays in
    getting this medicine causes me much distress.
