So I got that one covered. My question is, is it legal to give it to him he already has a doctors recommendation. I just need to be legal.
No answers? Autism isn't about answers or drugs; it's about helping the child communicate needs/wants/feelings effectively, learning social skills, and helping them make connections between behaviors and consequences through conditioning and behavioral therapy.

So you've tried all the drugs, way to go. I feel for you...having a child with autism is not easy by any means. But so many parents are able to do without medication of any kind, parents of kids with severe autism. I hate seeing parents resort to marijuana. I know you are looking for help, but marijuana is not the answer for a child with autism.

As for your legal question (I'm assuming you live in CA), marijuana isn't "legal" in the U.S., but Obama has recently change the federal government's policy regarding medical marijuana. Basically, the feds won't go after people and co-ops that are legit. So if you legally obtained a prescription for your son, you wouldn't need to worry too much about legal repercussions. BUT....when you go down that road, you get registered and THE MAN will always know.
