Autism
is a disorder that affects the development of the brain. This is characterized
by repetitive, rarely harmful behavior and social interaction and communication
problems. Today, the management of this condition is heavily geared towards
coaching and drug medication. While there has been a limited study that will
prove that cannabis oil has a positive impact on autism, there is currently
growing positive evidence based on the testimony of parents and medical
professionals.
The Current Dilemma on
Using Cannabis Oil for Autism
While
there has been increasing evidence about the positive response of individuals
with autism on cannabis oil, the doctors still cannot prescribe this due to the
lack of scientific study. In addition, autism is a complex disorder. A
treatment that works on one person with autism may not necessarily work with
another person. However, according to the reports, the scientific study is inconclusive
due to the reservations of the medical facilities in testing the cannabis oil.
The
missing research has paved the way to the anecdotal evidence that kids with
autism feel healthier and happier due to cannabis oil. Medical professionals
believe that anecdotes are important and should never be dismissed. It signifies
that attention on the matter is demanded, and it needs to be disproven or
proven.
The Challenge in Exploring
Cannabis as Medicine
Perhaps
the biggest challenge that we need to overcome in the cannabis oil industry is
to clear the issue that cannabis oil is a dangerous substance. Cannabis is a widely-used
substance in the medical sector in the Western country during the 19th
century. While it may be true that there is no research about the toxicity
level of cannabis in children, there are also no toxicity studies on common
child medication such as risperidone.
The
high cost associated with the controlled study will amount to more than $800
million, which may not be possible for a small drug company planning to
distribute the product. However, some small ongoing research is being conducted
all over the world to specify the benefits of CBD oil for autism. For
instance, a clinical psychologist named Giovanni Martinez revealed the positive
results of using cannabis oil. He reported that a kid with autism has allegedly
spoken his first word after being sprayed with hemp oil twice a day. In as
little as three weeks, the child developed a decent language skill. This one
study alone proves that we will continue to deprive our kids with the autism
spectrum of a chance for a better life.
Mieko
Perez reported strong evidence on the positive impact of CBD oil on autism. Her
son, who was diagnosed with autism, has also developed muscular dystrophy and
had to ingest 13 types of medication that can be damaging. After a small amount
of research, Perez stumbled upon the benefits of cannabis oil for
autism and started administering it to her son. Up to this day, her
son has been enjoying his life. Despite this positive effect, Perez has
received criticism for using cannabis oil on his son due to the prejudice of society.
