Scranton Cannabis Seeds

For parents with children who have autism, there are few avenues for relief. Autism is a collection of disorders that impact brain development, and is characterized by difficulties in communication, social interaction problems, and repetitive, sometimes harmful behavior. There is no known cure for autism, but the current treatment involves behavior modification therapy combined with antipsychotic medications.

Treating autism with cannabis is a complicated deal in America, however, because of the distinct lack of empirical data to support the claims that it may be a positive therapeutic alternative. There is a growing body of anecdotal evidence to suggest that the non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis can make the lives of children with autism happier and healthier.

Positive news comes out of Israel though, where researchers are investigating whether this link between the two is real. Israel was one of the first countries to permit the use of medical cannabis back in 1992, and is just one of only three countries, along with Canada and the Netherlands, with a government-sponsored medical cannabis program.

Cannabis contains chemicals called cannabinoids that react closely with the body’s own endocannabinoid system (the one responsible for maintaining homoeostasis), mimicking our existing neurotransmitters and creating exaggerated feelings of euphoria (that “high” commonly associated with weed), hunger (hello, munchies!) and therapeutic pain relief.

Of these chemicals, the two most prevalent and most often studied are THC and CBD, the latter of which is has become labelled as medical cannabis because of its bounty of positive effects absent of any hallucinogenic reaction.

While weed has been decriminalized to some extent in major Pennsylvania cities like Scranton, in 2016, state Governor Tom Wolf signed legislation to legalize medical cannabis in the state for a host of qualifying conditions, including:

• Autism
• Crohn’s disease
• Epilepsy
• Intractable seizures
• Parkinson’s disease
• Post-traumatic stress disorder

The state has yet to enact their medical cannabis laws, but late 2017 saw Pennsylvania’s first grow facility get the green light.
