Marijuana and the Treatment of an 8-year-old Child with Mult

this kid sounds alot like me. I had very similar problems growing up, had a very similar situation. I started smoking at 14, and just like the kid said, i felt happy, not angry, and the traffic jam in my head was gone. My mother thought i was self-medicating, so she insisted i go on a variety of different meds a variety of different doctors prescribed me. None of those meds helped, some made it worse, yet my mom was a full-fledged supporter of the psych meds, despite their ineffectiveness. I stopped taking them a few months in, and resumed smoking.....that was the only thing that helped. it was the only thing that made me functional and happy and able to concentrate and able to hold relationships. despite my improvement in grades from a C average to an A average during the short time i was smoking, My parents, thinking weed was a bad drug like crack, thought i was an addict and sent me away to a TBS.  There my bad behaviors and problems resumed, along with the psyche meds, my grades fell again, and i was miserable. i "faked it till i made it" in the program, and as soon as i got out, started smoking again (for a while due to the deadinsaneorinjail brainwashing, did so thinking i was a relapsing addict....ROFL). My parents gave up trying to stop me from smoking, and i continued to use weed to help me. At around the half-way point in my college career, when marijuana was finally gaining more medical and social acceptance in the mainstream media, they finally got off my back about the weed. now they accept it, support it, and finance it, because they know it helps me. I found myself a shrink that treats me while accepting and knowing that marijuana is the best treatment for my horrendously bad [now adult] ADD. As soon as my state (NY) legalizes medical mj, with my doctor's help i'll be one of the first in line to get a permit. As a matter of fact, when a recent medical MJ bill went through the state assembly, it had no provisions for marijuana for mental conditions/learning disabilities - only for cancer/aids/ms/glaucoma/etc. My doctor wrote out a huge letter, sent out to everyone from the governor down to city council members detailing his experiences with me and my treatment with MJ, and why they should consider adding a provision for those suffering from depression, add, and other assorted quality-of-life issues.


on another note, here's an article about a mother in rhode island who gives her 9-year old autistic son marijuana, under the direction of Lester Grinspoon (probably one of the most respected doctors in the world, first person to use lithium for bipolar, professor at harvard, one of the original players in the decrim/legalization movement).

Mommy buys your marijuana? You are a pathetic drug addict leeching off your gullible parents like good enablers. Your team of psychiatrists know this, but want your money. But really they laugh at you behind your back just like your Mom cries behind your back. Are you ready to stop ruining the lives of everyone around you and get sober finally?

wow thats a really interesting story.

I really wish there were more studies done on the subject of marijuana and its medicinal effects, especially in children. Its definitely non-toxic and has no serious side effects, think of all the kids out there who could benefit from being taken off the dangerous prescription drugs and put on a natural substance...

nope. she doesnt buy it. when I did not have the means to do so myself, she gave me funds and a space to set up a grow room, given that i pay her back within five years, which i did, and that was eight years ago, i support myself entirely now. Parents gullible? nope. logical? yes. compassionate? yes. my team of psychiatrists? no team. just one guy, a very high-level professor at a well-known university in israel, and no, i dont pay him. some doctors actually follow the hypocratic oath, ya know, and some of those doctors take patients for free if it's a particular ground breaking unique case, in return for allowing tests. If anything, he's the one paying for me to see him, as he's flown me to spain, the netherlands, germany, and israel and had me stay in a fancy hotel for a week so that i can either smoke weed or be injected with cannabinoids and sit in an MRI all day. so money, no. scientific recognition, yes....but he got that recognition two years ago and he sent that letter out six months ago.

sober? i am sober. I take medication, i dont abuse drugs. I'm as sober as anyone on only ritalin or zoloft except in my case it's marijuana, and unless you're a mormon, that's sober.  Mom crying? nope. she actually smokes too on occasion now, although she is doing it recreationally by most standards....so does my dad, my sisters, my brothers, grandparents, cousins, most of my friends, my neighbors, my boss, my employees, pretty much everyone i know. I just happen to be the lucky one with a unique brain chemistry, doctor's approval, recipient of a blind eye from local law enforcement, and social approval to light up anytime and anywhere around town without getting dirty looks...so it's not just my mom thats the enabler, it's pretty much the entire town...around two thousand people. so, i dont know how i could be ruining lives any more than someone taking an antidepressant. If anything, i provide more social stability because i can support myself due to my medication, and i'm less of a liability, behaviorally speaking. People who have known me since i was a kid...most of the people who live in this town.....know what I was like before weed, what i'm like now, and what happens when i dont get my medication....so for the greater good, i'm allowed to have my medication, off record.
