Must be so hard to be a parent and see your own son be so sensitive and self destructive each and every day. Happy they found something that helps.

saw this on tv was a documentary

wow...not sure what to think of that. my 1st thought was wondering if there were more mainstream treatments for him, including prescriptions but heck, those are prolly more harsh on the little guy than mmj.

on the other hand, watch politicians point to this as a reason to stop mmj. you can't be giving that to your children! give them the hard stuff, the prescription pills and shit.

A non-toxic remedy, what can't you like about that.

That has been a pretty big story since where I live since those people are from this area. It sounds like they tried all sorts of drugs, therapy and everything else they could think of and nothing helped. The pot actually helps the kid not have the fits of rage and he can stay calm and seems reasonably happy. The boy will never have a normal life, but I guess the pot has helped him get as close to normal as he may ever get.

On a side note, could they have made the people talking about that story any more hipster douchey? The set looks like a coffee shop, they are sitting in front of their Mac's and sipping coffee as they talk.

If marijuana cured cancer, Down's syndrome and Alzeheimers, the power that be would still be demonizing it.

Of course. The pharmaceutical companies would make sure that it is made to look EXTREMELY bad so they can sell their useless drugs that do nothing, but cause problems and don't actually cure shit.

"In a recent post on their Facebook page, Alex's parents say they are now pushing for "fixing the federal laws so that one day the group home will be able and willing to dose Alex with the one medicine that we have seen work."

Something is seriously wrong when they have no issues dosing kids with pharmaceutical grade cocaine but don't was to administer weed?
