Cannabis already helping children with Autism

Los Angeles, CA, January 12th, 2016

AutismOne, the world’s largest and most comprehensive autism conference, is delighted to announce a medical cannabis track for parents and professionals. The conference will be held May 25–29, 2016, at the Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel, Rosemont, IL.

Of tremendous interest is a scheduled presentation by Dr. Judy Mikovits titled “Can Cannabis Cure Autism? We Don’t Know, But It’s a Question Worth Asking.” Dr. Mikovits, whose long and distinguished career in immune dysfunction and retrovirology said, “Given the potential to mitigate human suffering and lost potential, not only is cannabis as a cure for autism a question worth asking, it is criminal not to do so.”

The Endocannabinoid/Cannabis Medicine track features speakers including John Hicks, MD; Christopher Shade, PhD; Jesse Stanley; Tracy Fritz, MD; Christian Bogner, MD; Brandie Cross, PhD; and Fran Kendall, MD. There is also an Endocannabinoid Medicine Certificate Seminar for professionals and a Medical Cannabis Panel featuring many of the leading advocates from around the country.

“Cannabis and hemp have already proven to be extremely effective for seizures and sleep disorders for children with autism,” said Dr. Hicks. “The healing properties of both have only begun to be investigated.”

Ed Arranga, the president of AutismOne, stated, “Autism is not a psychological disorder or a genetic defect. Autism is an umbrella term covering a collection of chronic comorbid conditions, including abnormal gut flora, allergies, seizures, arthritis neurological sequelae, asthma, autonomic dysfunction, chronic rubella arthritis, colitis, ear infections, eczema, immune dysregulation, incontinence, leaky gut, Lyme disease, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), sleep disorders, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, PANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus), rheumatoid arthritis, severe headaches/migraines, and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE).”

As Professor Raphael Mechoulam has noted, “It is believed that because endocannabinoid receptors are found throughout the brain and in every major organ of the body is one reason that cannabis treats so many varied illnesses. Countering the chronic comorbid conditions in children with autism, are cannabinoid’s medical properties, which include acting as an antiemetic, anticonvulsant, antipsychotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-tumoral, anxiolytic, and anti-depressant.

“It’s an exciting time,” continued Arranga. “For decades, truthful and accurate information about cannabis and autism has been the exception. Now, finally, the medical benefits of cannabis are being recognized, and children with autism are getting better. Ironically, two communities that were written off are coming together to help each other.”

A Vancouver entrepreneur and marijuana activist wants Americans to boost local tourism by coming north to get higher as the Canadian dollar gets lower.

“Hello, American would-be visitors, weed here is $3.50 to $8 US a gram,” Marc Emery posted to Instagram on Thursday as Canada’s dollar continued to plunge — dropping from about par to the U.S. dollar two years ago to 79 cents on Friday.

“I don’t think it’s occurring to (American tourists) that they can come up to Canada now, in the last six weeks, and have a holiday at a much greater discount than ever before,” the self-styled “Prince of Pot” told the Sunday Province on Saturday.

Smart Approaches to Marijuana, are you serious Mr. Kennedy?

Patrick Kennedy, a self admitted oxycotin addict, can’t even use the correct terminology and call Cannabis what it is. Just by continuing to use the term “marijuana” he has exposed SAM’s intent to attempt to use the 80 year old stereotype, which has been broken by truth and a plethora of research, and demonize a very valuable plant. What I immediately ask is does he have a financial interest in pharmaceuticals, timber, petroleum, etc. that hemp and Cannabis may threaten?

In Denver on Wednesday January 9th, SAM, Smart Approaches to Marijuana is having a media event to try and beat the propaganda drums once again against G*d’s creation Cannabis. Please stand up, deny their fear mongering, and voice your opinion by coming to the event.  There is no obvious address, but keep your eyes and ears open and we can find it.

If we look again at the source references that are use one will notice that they are not peer-reviewed scientific references. In other words, they are inventing a boogeyman that has been proven to be fake.

The following is from the website:

Health Recap

To recap, the science is emerging on the effects of marijuana, but we can say with some certainty that marijuana use is significantly linked with:
Addiction

Heart and Lung Complications (the jury is out on a connection to lung cancer, though)
Mental Illness
Car Crashes
IQ loss and poor school outcomes
Poor quality of life outcomes
Poor job performance

What happens if we were to eat hemp seed for every meal? Hemp seeds nutritional value offer high omega’s, protein, and essential nutrients that have fed generations for thousands of years. Today, hemp seed is a niche market which is growing rapidly, because people are rediscovering its benefits.

There are body builders, athletes, and health conscious people who have experienced fantastic physical changes since they incorporated hemp seed into their meals. This is not a diet, it is a way of life. If you take a moment and search YouTube for “hemp seed shakes,” you will find numerous people from all walks of life sharing their excitement about hemp and what it has done for them.

Super size me, was about eating junk food, but what would it look like if we fed our subject hemp seed? Cravings for sugar decrease, weight and energy balance out and become predictable, and the immune system can become stronger with the proper food intake.

Xbox Live Cancelling account Offenses for “Hemp”

In today’s America we all must be aware of the possibility that Corporations goal of making money may put your FREEDOM at risk.

XBOX Hemp

Santa brought a sack full of gifts this holiday, but he may not have realized what he carried in his big red sack. Christmas morning was beautiful, our family gathered together as Americans have done for generations to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We opened our gifts one by one sharing hot cider on this chilly day, not realizing what was about to happen.

A small wrapped box was handed to me and I proceeded to open the gift. Inside I found the new “Call of Duty Black Ops II” for XBOX LIVE. In a flash I was up and in front of my console starting up this game. Feeling empowered by hemp in my life, I decided to use “hemp” in the clan name while registering to play the game.

Little did I know something strange was about to happen. My email beeps at me with a new message and as I read it I am thinking how I found it extremely humorous that one can murder, torture, & Kill in this game, but using the Clan Name “HEMP” violates their term of service & could close our family account and refer us to Law Enforcement. What went through my head next was infuriating. Our Country is at risk of loosing our FREEDOM of SPEECH by the joystick and corporate bullying, it is YOUR job to STAND UP AGAINST THIS INJUSTICE.

My suggestion is to stop playing video games, but short of that, put your fear aside and make your voice heard.
Good Luck my Fellow American!

Thank you JAM for the story

Imagine wearing a mask just to go through you day, just to breathe. Dirt grit perpetually in your teeth and covering your windows with sheets and blankets in a futile attempt to stop the dirt from sifting into your home and food becomes scarce on the shelves at the supermarket. Breathing, eating a meal, and walking the dog, are no longer simple, but moment to moment challenges.

This has happened, for eight years during the 1930’s, after decades of extensive farming without crop rotation and other mitigation techniques, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Nebraska were ground zero for the Dust Bowl. It came in a yellowish-brown cloud from the South and in a black blizzard from the North, causing major economic, ecological and agricultural damage to American and Canadian farmlands.
