| yea i am also in a med. marijuana friendly state. In California the majority of people support this alternative. but only about 100 children with autism are being treated with med MJ so my resources are limited when talking to other parents or patients |

| Is anyone else besides sinsboldly getting relief from medical marijuana? And for sinsboldly: do edibles have different effect ? My friend is giving son 1/8 of a cookie and he is maybe 130lbs. What would 1/8 of cookie do for you. Would that be like taking 2 hits for u? Or would u be sedated? |
