The Buzz: Mother gives marijuana to autistic son

[skins017]

the woman who said "giving marijuana to a ten year old is ridiculous" is an idiot. Obviously she doesn't have a dying, uncontrollable son who needs to be institutionalized. He never made a sound. Now he is making sounds. He was starving, now he is gaining weight. He was on 13 different medications. Now he's on 2. Denying him the effects of marijuana is ridiculous and wrong. Not saying it's good for every1 but obviously good 4 him. DUHHH

[Ravenblazer]

sure pot is bad if you do it every day. but if you do it every once in a while its fine. shit, anything bad can be bad for you!!!!

[clearpancho]

reduced to a pill form? hahahahahahhahahahhahahahahhah­ahahaha dumb bitch

[dubified89]

Yeah cannabis isn't natural either, even though it's a plant that grows from the ground. This lady has a lot of intelligence and insight, clearly she wasn't hired for her looks

[dubified89]

This lady's right, we should be careful not to legalize cannabis ('marijuana') because if too many people 'smoke up' we'll start seeing overdoses and deaths. It's bound to happen any day now

[Felixkjoeller]

@dubified89 I must disagree with you on the part with overdosing. There have never been confirmed any deaths from weed. Even though it in my oppinion still has some negative sides.

But death due to overdosis, is not going to happen. :)

[OneHitKillGaming]

@dubified89 i dont smoke and prolly wont but you can not overdose on marijuana, you can smoke marijuana and because your impaired kill yourself but you cannot overdose on marijuana.

[fuckthaworld323]

legalize weed worldwide

[Smallcherokeegirl08]

If it were my child and it helped my child I would do it. I am no advocate for pot, but when it comes to my child and what he or she needs to help them live, then I would do it and would not let anyone tell me what to do to help my child, and save his or her live!

[bluffedalias]

If it works use it.

If it aint broke dont fix it.

If someone wants to abuse something why is it your business anyway?

Hrmmm.

[shyman1]

It has been reduced to pill form, which a good percentage of patients say are ineffective and a deplorable synthetic delta-9 THC. Not only that, but the FDA barely let people who are not a hair away from dying to get it. Therefore the pill is a double entendre, you can't get it, and it doesnt work

[bayareabest05]

wat a dumb bi#$#.. it should be reduce to a pill form.. they try that already with marinol and guess wat.. it has worse side effect the the real natural form..Confusion; decreased coordination; dizziness; drowsiness; elevated or relaxed mood; headache; nausea; stomach pain; trouble concentrating; vomiting; weakness, cause factory are much healtier then nature right?!?!

[Falarmoldovia]

... Marijuana is good for you. . . There is no reason not to let it be completely legal.

(blabla somebody will overuse, blabla) - Yes, people also cut themselves with kitchen knives and drink alchohol till they die.

[iscrapman]

The best thing they could do is doing a medical followin of the kid's case to see if it really helps him Instead of complaining . What is so hard about that .

They use unwilling or healty guinnea pigs to test their products on but somebody is willing to try something by themselves and everybody go nuts !

[CeeCeeKat]

This news article is lacking a lot of detail. If you want the full story try seeing the same story from a difference source. One of the big points they didn't mention was that the child was on 13 meds 3 times a day before changing to one bite-size brownie every 2-3 days.

[dawgpost90]

It's hilarious that they obviously don't give a shit about that kid!

[devin3627]

people are just sleezy and want an easy ride in life. but i think its okay for someone that is dying like this kid. if your addicted, you cant necessarily have the will power to stop during pregnancy. the academics in this world will only go further down hill.

[greekozzie]

man, i want joey's cookies...

[Jarroty]

cocaine is not natural....this dude is misinformed, because if its natural then heroin is also natural( dose not make any sence to say that cocaine is natural),....do not say stuff like that if u don't know....marijuana on is 100% natural, it grows from the earth and then u use it for what ever purposes u want......

[CortlanT]

Marijuana is not harmful but it is dumb to say it is not harmful because it is natural. Oleander is considered to be the most poisonous plant in the world and it is natural.

[LegalizeForMankind]

@CortlanT He meant to say natural in the good way, there are two ways to confront the natural thing, when said about medicine it is a good thing. I mean to ease many disorders I would rather something natural like marijuana rather than abilify or any of that crap. Like when talking about food, they say all natural, am I suppose to fear lead or carbon monoxide to be inside the salad? When talking about marijuana people like to talk stupid and twist everything around.

[brennan358]

i say good for her,she should be doing that

[VulcanXL]

It's amazing how all these stories about how Marijuana has helped so many with all sorts of illnesses and just make people feel better, that we still allow it to be illegal, post lies on TV about how it ruins your life. Only reason it ruins your life is it's illegal, no other reason.

[masterthehate2]

@VulcanXL if you go the the abovetheinfluence website and check their drug facts... It almost SUPPORTS drinking.

Weed... according to them... said you'd have a heartattack

[VulcanXL]

@masterthehate2

Sad... I've never even met an aggressive high person. But know plenty who get mean as hell when drunk too.

[masterthehate2]

@VulcanXL I've never known someone who was born a bastard after a "stoned" romp around the back seat of a trans am. Booze does that though!! D:

Like Bob Marley said. Booze is the destruction of a nation, Herb is the healing.

[joeyyowee]

Some people are ridiculous. Why is this even a discussion? A soft drug that's not addicting is helping an autistic child. There's no reason why they shouldn't give it to him. People are just making a big deal about it because it's marijuana. Marijuana is considered a softer drug than tobacco and alcohol and those drugs are legal.

[ryanwalman]

You people need to get experts on your show whats so heart breaking about a mother saving her kids life yes there are medications that increase appetite but there is a possibility of overdose on all fda approved drugs but not on marijuana and it does not cause brain damage it stimulates brain cell development you don' t have to take my word for it just ask a doctor that doesn't get paid to lie to the public about marijuana
