Medicinal Marijuana for Autism

I used to smoke quite a bit of hash back in the 1990s for epilepsy which worked and I also noticed that it was affecting my music collection as well and you can find yourself smoking for years but the potential harmful effects are from the polycylic hydrocarbons in burnt plant material which are carcinogens and that in some way both THC and CBD can act as chemotherapeutic agents according to preliminary research on cannabinoids and cancer. but there is also the inconvenience because when you are out you cant enjoy a spliff after a meal which smoking where people are eating is selfish. There is also a sensory regulatitive property in weed and for some people it may provide some source of sensory regulation in people or it may be another sensory input because the use of any psychedelic pr psychedelic like drug is a source of senspory input in itself. If I never had epilepsy since 1974 then I would have not got the draw of African Black hash back in January 1992 and carried on smoking pot for 16 years. But now I do eat a piece of spacecake now and againw hich are cannabis edibles which is a more convenient way of having a spliff without the lung irritant method of smoking and you can eat spacecake on the bus but if you smoke a spliff on the bus its a £50 fine for smoking on a bus which is illegal. I think cannabis should be legalised and sold in Amsterdam style coffeeshops here in the UK but that is about as likely as my mum being the next US president.

I first used cannabis to suppliment the carbamazepine that I was getting from the doctor and at the time I was sort of aware of anandamide syndrome that may allegedly come in rare people from smoking weed with very high THC and having verly low levels of cannabidiol which are the two exogenous neurotrasmitters found in weed or the phytocannabinoids (more accurately) being linked to a condition which mimic schizophrenia or tempral lobe epilepsy. Also the presence of CBD inhances the anticonvulsant properties of cannabis and also helps protect angainst anandamide syndrome actually CBD is an antipsychotic that acts as a neuroprotector and acts as an antagonist at the THC like repceptors. the cb 1 receptor which normally reacts to anandamide and THC. Well even too much catnip gets cats paranoid and a bit hissy.

When you smoke hash the buzz creeps up on you but when you smoke weed then the full buzz hits you almost immediately and with hash for this reason you tend to smoke more in joints than you would for weed but in spacecake you get the full buzz about 2 and a half hours later but you have to eat weed cake such as cheesecake (spacecake containing UK cheese) all day to get a relly nice buzz because it creeps up on you. Thats what I have learned about cannabis and its use as an anticonvulasant and for PTSD which I what I have starting eating spacecakes mainly for since the epilepsy is largely in remisssion throught he 16 years of smoking gear. I had Asperger syndrome before I smoked it and I had Asperger syndrome after I smoked it but its main effects on me was on my co morbidities. I also started seeing peoples aura which I used to atempt to learn social skills as an accommodation that I don't do without so there I was still a stoned aspie.
