Medical Marijuana - ADD / ADHD

At this point it was clear that the medications being prescribed by his were not only failing to help Sam but they were harming him. He had gained significant weight, had an increase of aggressive and unpredictable behaviors and, most alarmingly to us, became very distant to those he had always loved so much. He began hitting his grandmothers and sister, and did not engage with his parents as he once did. He even became distant to me, his dad, the one person whom he had always had the most attachment. It was heartbreaking to watch him slip away. It was like the Sammy we had known was disappearing and we feared that he would steadily slip into greater isolation. There were several episodes that were so bad that we considered taking him to the hospital.

My wife came to me with the suggestion that we consider treating Sam with Medical Cannabis. She had found information on the Internet that documented another parent's success in treating her son who had similar characteristics to Sam with Medical Cannabis. I researched the subject myself and found an article written by Dr. Bernard Rimland from the Autism Research Institute that authenticated the parent's story and stated the he would be more in favor of trying MC before he would more "toxic" pharmaceuticals.

@Chaoitcme haha yeah im 14 and my bro and sis smoke with me, but my dad is constantly threatening to drug test me if he gets suspicious, and my mom wont let me leave the house, so i cant go buy bud. they said they wont care what i do when im 18 but ill be out of school and my ADHD wont mean shit in my life. they dont understand that its them destroying me, not bud.

[Chaoitcme]

@austinpodann Do what you need to do. If you are older than 18 than your parents have no say in your life. If you are underage than do it behind their backs. The side affects of pot or less than the side affects of Ridalin.
