Cannabis Brownies Helps 10 Year Olds Autism

 As more and more children are diagnosed with autism, there's a growing need for alternative treatments. Recently, a mother in California stated that medical marijuana has resulted in vast improvements in her autistic son. Mieko Perez told Kauffman, "Everyone who came to my home was watching me watch Joey die. He was deteriorating hourly." Kaufmann explained that Joey is severely autistic; causing him to be so uninterested in food that he was wasting away. At ten years old, he weighed just 48 pounds. Even bulky Halloween costumes couldn't disguise his frightening look of starvation. He mostly ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for four years, Mieko recalls. However, it all changed with marijuana brownies. She says not only is Joey eating more, he's communicating. "We're seeing Joey come out!" Mieko exclaims. "He's never made noises. ... We didn't even know he could make noise until the first batch of brownies." Kauffman notes, medical marijuana is often prescribed for cancer and AIDS patients who need to gain weight, but a prescription for a child is unusual. The American Academy of Pediatrics opposes legalization of marijuana, but supports more research. Kauffman stresses, though there's absolutely no evidence marijuana helps with autism symptoms. Mieko insists it has improved her child's life.
