Autism and Medical Marijuana
Some families have found marijuana (mmj) to be nothing short of
miraculous.
Some of the symptoms MMJ has ameliorated
include anxiety--even severe
anxiety--aggression, panic disorder,
generalized rage, tantrums, property
destruction and
self-injurious behavior.

One mother's comments:
"I know it's not the end all answer but it's been the best answer for
the longest time for us in regards to ALL the other medications. I cannot tell
you how many months we would go on a medication wondering if it was doing
anything, anything at all. Here we can see the difference in 30-60 minutes
guaranteed."
Another:
"My son (who is almost nine years of age) has been on medications to
address his severe autistic behaviors including aggression and throwing fits
over trivial issues in the environment. He has been difficult to instruct due to
these behaviors. None of the medications has ever made a difference, except for
making his behaviors worse. He has been through the whole range starting at
three and a half with ritalin and dexedrine, and going through prozac, paxil,
clonidine, naltrexone, adderall and risperdal. Finally, we gave up on
medications and decided to manage his behaviors through behavioral techniques.
We had mixed results.
A few months ago we tried the prescription drug Marinol and noticed a drop in
the severe episodes, no fits and little to no aggression towards his teacher and
family members on a daily basis. A few weeks ago we started him on cannabis and
stopped the Marinol. He has been in a much better mood and is much easier to
keep on task in the classroom now. There has not been a major fit since he
started the Marinol, and the cannabis seems to work just as well with his
behaviors and he is now much more easier for his therapists to manage during
instruction.
It is not a cure, but just a tool to make things go smoother and prevent
disruptions in his learning. He still has days when he gets angry and moody, but
we can adjust the dose to help him through those days. It is such a mild
medication and there are no long term side effects that can damage the body's
organs. I feel much more comfortable administering cannabis)
than something like risperdal.
Autism is an unpredictable disorder and even though major behaviors are
constants, autistic people have different degrees of their behaviors from day to
day. We can tell when he might need an extra dose to get him through a rough
day, and due to the fact that there is no toxic overdose, we do not have to be
overly concerned with safety issues."

Marihuana and Behavior Disorder
of Uncertain Origin
So, you want to consider giving medical marijuana to your autistic
son/daughter?
First question, is this legal
in your state?
If mmj is legal, do you need a doctor's permission or
"recommendation"?
A prescription for mmj is illegal, according to federal law.
It may be difficult to get your MD to write a letter or even sign a form for you
stating that your child may benefit from medical marijuana. Even if your MD is
willing to help you, he or she may want you to try a few pharmaceuticals first,
although it is most likely that you already have given these the old college
try, and have seen only limited improvement, if any at all. If you can't find a
doctor willing to help, local AIDS awareness and advocacy groups may be able to
recommend one. That this is for pediatric use is problematic, especially for a
child with a disability. If your child has any co-morbid conditions or a seizure
disorder, a physician's help is critical.
If you still want to try MMJ, the next step is finding a supply--and a
supplier. Just because you used marijuana back in college doesn't guarantee that
you will be able to scare up a dealer for your child's medical needs. Buying
marijuana on the black market is expensive, dangerous and nerve-wracking. Any
medicine you buy is also apt to be tainted. If it smells suspiciously like Raid,
chances are excellent that you have scored a pricey version of this trusty bug
killer.. If you are fortunate enough to live in a state with compassion
clubs, then your problem may be solved. Some states allow limited cultivation.
Next issue, how will this medicine be delivered to your child? Probably an
autistic child will not
be smoking. There are several viable methods of delivery, tinctures,
elixirs, baked goods, cannabutter and cannaoil). Cannaoil may be
particularly useful if your child is gf/cf. Any recipe may be adapted using 2/3
oil for the amount of solid fat in the recipe. Happy
Caps is another solution if your child is able to swallow a pill.
