Now, I know many of you might be completely opposed to "drug use", but give me a chance here - you might find something useful.
I have had a diagnosis of mild Asperger's syndrome since age 6, and since age 11, have been on many different types of medication, the only one with an overall positive effect being the infamous Rispredal.
However, around age 16 I began drinking and smoking marijuana (bud, chronic, weed, whatever you wanna call it) at parties and social gatherings.
Lately I've been smoking every weekend, and have found that a day or two after use, I find that many of the symptoms of my condition have been almost completely done away with altogether. That's right, social awkwardness, obsessiveness, inflexibility, insomnia, and mood swings are a thing of the past. And considering my Asperger's is very mild, If I were able to take medicinal marijuana the same way I would take rispredal or prozac, I might be completely cured.
I'm not the only person saying this - google Autism & Marijuana, and you'll be surprised. Who knows? Maybe if some of these politicians were able to sit down and hear what I just said, they might stop all this "war on drugs" nonsense.
