Medical Marijuana and treating Autism 

A mother in California states that medical marijuana  has shown to improve her son's overall health. Her son Joey was deteriorating quickly  by the hour. Joey is severely autistic and had no interest in food and he was losing body mass. He only weighted 48 pounds at 10 years old and his appearance was frightening as if he was starving. His mother 'Mieko' said "it all changed when she fed him marijuana brownies." He is not only eating, but he is also communicating. She claims that "he never made noises until his first batch of brownies."

Another mother was running out of options when her  autistic son refused to eat. She gave her ten year old who only weighted 46 pounds brownies with marijuana and she saw major improvement in his eating and also behavior. He no longer is self inflicting himself and his aggressive behavior decreased.

A mother from Rhode Island had the same result when she fed her son marijuana in brownies. His aggressive behavior changed and began socializing.
