There has been a dramatic increase in the number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) worldwide. Recently anecdotal evidence of possible therapeutic effects of cannabis products has emerged. The aim of this study is to characterize the epidemiology of ASD patients receiving medical cannabis treatment and to describe its safety and efficacy. We analysed the data prospectively collected as part of the treatment program of 188 ASD patients treated with medical cannabis between 2015 and 2017. The treatment in majority of the patients was based on cannabis oil containing 30% CBD and 1.5% THC. Symptoms inventory, patient global assessment and side effects at 6 months were primary outcomes of interest and were assessed by structured questionnaires. After six months of treatment 82.4% of patients (155) were in active treatment and 60.0% (93) have been assessed; 28 patients (30.1%) reported a significant improvement, 50 (53.7%) moderate, 6 (6.4%) slight and 8 (8.6%) had no change in their condition. Twenty-three patients (25.2%) experienced at least one side effect; the most common was restlessness (6.6%). Cannabis in ASD patients appears to be well tolerated, safe and effective option to relieve symptoms associated with ASD.

My experience with CBD

I will not spend an hour summarizing my mental health. I will just say that for years I have been plagued by depression, anxiety, antisocial feelings, and over the past year or so a feeling of brain fog. I was diagnosed with ADD as a child and they decided I didn’t have it 2 years later but I know I likely still do. I decided to finally give CBD from the local Rite aid a try. After 4 days I can say that the brain fog is gone. A week ago I couldn’t even explain the feeling that plagued me. I still don’t feel anything close to a normal person but I can say that I have a better ability to process my brain that I haven’t felt in years. I reccomend anyone who is interested give CBD a try. I only hope the clowns in our country can get past the marijuana BS that they try to strong along and connect to CBD.

Anxiety and ADD?

I went to a doctor to try and sort out my anxiety issues, they are becoming a bit much to self manage. They put me on Prozac and it was a complete nightmare, the side effects were horrible, not to mention all of the unspoken rules that came along with it, no drinking, no ibuprofen, and countless others.

I am a regular THC user and that seems to help control my anxiety in the evenings but I obviously do not use at work which is where the problem lies.

I have issues with general anxiety, social anxiety, and add. Can CBD help me? How do I know how much to take, and do I have to keep taking it as in does it wear off ever couple hours? I dont know anything about this stuff but I know that Prozac is NOT for me!!!
