The subject of autism and its causes is getting more attention due to the documentary Vaxxed. It’s like a continual road show going from city to city with its crew of key personnel conducting panel discussions after showings.
That’s great and sorely needed. But there’s little awareness promoted for treating autism among the vaccine damaged. The Cannabis Summit revealed several medical practitioners of different stripes who are willing and able to use cannabis in their practices.
Of the 16 states that allow medical marijuana, there is only one state that recognizes autism as a qualifying condition for granting the use of medical cannabis, Delaware. One who has an autistic child has to offer whatever other medical symptoms are part of the child’s misery.
There are other co-morbid conditions, or chronic maladies that accompany autism. Some of them do fall under conditions that allow cannabis treatments: Seizures, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nerve damage, neuropathy, chronic pain, or occasionally in some states “any debilitating condition that a physician determines as wholly disabling.”

Washington State and Colorado have paved the way for legalizing cannabis completely and regulating its sales for tax profits. In their cases and among other states following their examples, one needn’t bother with qualifying for a medical marijuana card regardless of what is ailing them. The hoops and red tape won’t be there.
