New studies confirm marijuana's effectiveness for autism treatment
One of the latest studies by Israeli researchers again confirms that medical cannabis is able to help children suffering from autism. The report and final results of the study will soon be published in an official neurology magazine. The children observed during the study were given medical cannabis with a very high content of the cannabinoid CBD (non-psychoactive cannabis component).
"In 80% of cases, a noticeable improvement in condition was observed. In contrast, no improvement was seen when using conventional medications."
