Finding appropriate treatments to improve the symptoms associated with autism spectral disorders (ASD) has been challenging. Yet anecdotally, some reports have shown that treatment with various cannabis oils has eased various ASD symptoms. Now, a new study from investigators at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and Soroka University Medical Center show that cannabis as a treatment for ASD appears to be a well-tolerated, safe, and effective option to relieve symptoms including seizures, tics, depression, restlessness, and rage attacks in a cohort of patients aged 18 and under.
Findings from the new study were published recently in Scientific Reports through an article titled “Real life Experience of Medical Cannabis Treatment in Autism: Analysis of Safety and Efficacy (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-37570-y).” Moreover, the researchers reported that “overall, more than 80% of the parents reported significant or moderate improvement in their child,” according to lead study investigator Lihi Bar-Lev Schleider, a doctoral candidate at BGU-Soroka Clinical Cannabis Research Institute.
ASD is an extensive developmental disorder that is expressed in almost all dimensions of the child’s development. It is now common to refer to this disorder as a wide range of Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) in which there are various manifestations and symptoms.
“We analyzed the data prospectively collected as part of the treatment program of 188 ASD patients treated with medical cannabis between 2015 and 2017,” explained study author Gal Meiri, MD, of the Negev Autism Center. “The treatment in the majority of the patients was based on cannabis oil containing 30% cannabidiol oil (CBD) and 1.5% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Symptoms, patient global assessment, and side effects at six months were primary outcomes of interest and were assessed by structured questionnaires.”
Amazingly, after six months of treatment, 30% of patients reported significant improvement, 53.7% reported moderate improvement, and only 15% had slight or no change.

Autism caused by vaccines says a new peer reviewed study

Was reported by me here last week

Don’t take vaccines, don’t get autism or worse!

why am i not surprised a dumbass conspiracy nut like sinebecile is one of the goofy ass anti-vaccine clowns?

Fortunately he and his gene pool will die quickly without the vaccines.

While Democrats will be so stoned on pot and mushrooms they will only eat, get fat and fail to have sex with the opposite sex!

Two gays can have all the sex they want but will never produce offspring!

Marijuana yields a great deal of positive effects with those with MS, ASD, and other forms of chronic pain.


There are several things I can never get on board with my conservative brethren.

one of which is their obsession with demonizing marijuana. 

if you're cool with Pharmaceutical companies peddling out highly addictive opiates like Percocet, Vicodin, Oxycotin etc, then you should have no problem with fu*king weed.

Please join the 21st century. 

Why am I not surprised the gullible stooges can’t accept the report that says they fooled themselves about vaccine again
