We've been reading a lot about mm for children and we have called a few mm doctors around here (orange county) but no one will see a child. His regular doctor wants to try more meds first (risperdol) but we don't want to put him on anymore of those.

Does anyone know a doctor who will see a child and recommend mm. But we also want someone who can tell us how much to give and how often because we don't want to make our son simply stoned. We simply need to try another option or at least get the information straight from a doctor who is open-minded.

Thanks you for any help you can give us.

Hi helpme10 I also have a child with autism and have came across this very usefull information just last night. I will be intrested to find out if you get a doctor to come forward and help you to see if the medical use of marjuana would help your child,,,,,I mean what's the problem eh? if a weed out the ground going to benifit our children then i'd rather administer that to any prescription drug's!

Glad your as curious as me to find out if it could actually improve our children's life and our own life's and we could benifit from such a natuaral plant.

I my self have previously 'smoked dope' before but have no intension on going out buying a half ounce of canibis and making brownies for my kid! but I just wonder where thing's are going to lead here? It's all very dangerous unless administered and prescribed by a doctor! And yes you would deffo go to jail an have your kid taken from you if you did such a thing. I also could see a autistic chil beniffiting from increased concentration level's and just general more comfortable from the medical use of marjuana dosages prescribed by a doctor.

Thank's anyway and thank's for posting such an intresting topic, good luck honey. xxxx
