New Clinical Studies Test Cannabis As Possible Autism Treatment

Stories of parents who are successfully treating their kids’ autism with cannabis oil are popping up everywhere. CBD seems to have a particularly amazing impact by reducing the hypersensitivity, hyperactivity, and instances of self-harm while improving the communication barriers associated with the disorder.

In an effort to keep up with demand for the treatment, scientists are pursuing more information and conducting more studies on the body’s endocannabinoid system, cannabinoids and their links to autism therapy. The National Institute of Health (NIH) has also found data indicating that the CB2 receptor is a “potential therapeutic target for the pharmacological management of autism care.”

​Leigh University seeks to gather some of the first quantitative data on cannabis as a treatment for autism. Pennsylvania happens to be one of just a few states that list autism as a condition that can be treated with cannabis.

How-To: Curing Your Medicine
​By Dru West

An excerpt from “Secrets of the West Coast Masters: Uncover the Ultimate Techniques for Growing Medical Marijuana” by Dru West.

​There is a widespread misconception about what curing really is and exactly how it is done. To understand this process you must first understand what it is you are trying to do. Curing is the process of extracting chlorophyll from the buds. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color and is an important factor for photosynthesis, since its function is to absorb light and turn it into energy. It does not, however, taste good.

After marijuana has been harvested and dried, microorganisms in the air will begin to break down the unnecessary chlorophyll as time goes by. The by-product of this process is ammonia, which explains why bags of grass clippings from the lawn take on that smell after they sit in the garage for a while. To cure your buds is to extract the ammonia-producing chlorophyll. This can be done in a controlled fashion by containing your buds in airtight glass jars. This will accelerate the rate of the curing process by trapping the multiplying microorganisms inside the jars. Follow these steps for reliable results every time.
