I find this video incredible and a remarkable story. I feel so bad for a kid thats not even a teenager and whats to die, for his mom to kill him, depressed, unable to function in the real world. And doctors want to put him on anti-phsycotic and anri depressants instead.... those drugs themselves at such a young age can cause so much damage to him, more than marijuana.

Marijuana can actually help the kid, and it seems to be working well. Though I do agree with them saying its not going to cure anything, itsj ust like a pill that he would always have to take to feel better, but its weed instead. The pills would be doing the same thing.

I felt so bad when the mom said hes never felt euphoria and she wants him to be abe to feel it for once.
 
the kid dont need weed or pills... just a spanking. To me it seems obvious the mom is going soft on him (and i dont see a father). If a parent cant raise a child lets give drugs to him 8o
 
Fuck. If my kid did that I'd stick a bong in his face and tell him to take a minimum of 4 huge 40-second hits.

Anyway, it's not like they're getting high. You get the non-mind-altering effects at low doses like analgesia and hunger(wait, I'm right aren't I?). There should not be any controversy about this they're not having laugh attacks and couch lock at the tiny doses they give them.

Normally you'd be right. But OCD isn't just attention seeking. OCD may seem like some petty illness, but if you really understood it, you'd understand how much that child needs something to ease it alittle.

But I do not understand the second woman at all. Mary to help learning? I have never in my life done better in school while high. The only thing it improves is math for me, but I forget the questions and what I did as soon as I finish them.
But then she goes on the make even less sense; she chose it over a stim? I understand her worry over synthetic drugs, but in the end a poison is a poison wether we or nature created it.
I bet she just wants her sons stash.

She chose an incredibly safe drug over one that is cardiotoxic and more habit-forming? What's senseless about that? Cannabis is far less toxic than amphetamine.
 
^ Well said.

As for weed helping people learn, I know guys majoring in Mech E, Nuke E and Double E who study while high and do fairly well. We're at a major university with a very rigorous engineering curriculum as well.

Jus' sayin.

Uhh, why? This isn't tobacco we're talking about buddy and this isn't the 1950's :\ Get with the program

That's a huge waste of weed I'd rather have those tokes for myself. You do realize you're giving your kid exactly what he wants righ? For free, and from his parent no less? You should be on the cover of "Parent of the year" 8)

Edit - btw video too long so if this doesn't apply then please disregard my post, I will not respond to flames.
 
I'd trust the doctors' judgment over that of pot smokers and the kid's mom who think that Cannabis is some miracle drug that can help everyone even those people like the teenager in the video with severe mental health issues. 8)

Smoking herb is not going to help someone who has major depression, anxiety, and OCD.

Why would they even give Dexedrine or something for ADD/ADHD to someone with OCD and depression?

Some people really do have ADD/ADHD and medications like Ritalin and Dexedrine in low doses do help them a lot. The kid in the video has depression and OCD so these medications would not work for him.

If the teenager's depression and OCD are that debilitating as his mom claims they are she should have her son see a therapist or a psychiatrist and get on some sort of medication like an SSRI.

Depression and OCD are a chemical imbalance in the brain, just like being bipolar/manic are and medications for being bipolar/manic work better than herb does.
 
Its unhealthy to use marijuana before you hit puberty. I dont have any sources so I'm sure theres gonna be a lot of bullshit calling but I know several kids I went to highschool with who started smoking weed at the beginning of middle school, they were like 10-11 years old when they started daily use of high grade stuff. Most of them are normal, albeit giant stoners, but a few of them never hit there growth spurts, their voices never dropped, they dont have anything to shave and these guys are now 19-20. You can all claim marijuana isnt bad for you, has all kinds of health benefits blah blah blah but giving any kind of substance that fucks with your brain while your brain is still growing is not a good idea.

Funny as fuck ^
 
Not quite sure how I feel about this :
I am mmj patient/provider.

There are documented cases/studies that mmj can in fact be benificial to kids but it is child and condition dependant. I have sseen studie w/kids who have significant autism (deep down on the spectrum) that the parents state the childs behavior has changed ten fold. From a chld completely out of control to a child who has been able to fit into the great melting pot of society.
I have also seen children(personally, I work in pedi onc.) with little hope left to have a smei-normal life before they surcumb to the horriable fate they were given. One in part. Will always stay in my heart as this 14yo male, was just waiting to die. His mom came to the coalition in agony about her sons situation.
Let's call him Buddy for confidentiality reasons. Buddy was suffering from a fatal form of cancer and well into stage 4. He could not eat, walk, play w/friends or anything a normal 14yo does. He was in constant agony. His mom in a last ditch effort (very hesistant due the the social stigmata society places on mj) just wanted some sense of normalcy for her son, started asking questions.
She applyed for a mmj card for him. He was able to eat again, she says he gaid ten pounds in two weeks. He was d'cd from hospital w/hospice and given weeks to live. Once home he started a mmj regimine that helped him tremendously. He was able to do things he never dreamed he would ever again. Buddy was able to live for a few extra weeks. Mom says it took the depression away and helped Buddy not to focus on hire dire fate. Buddy got to go ride his bike and see the sunshine again, buddys appitite went through the roof. Buddy was able to lower the narcs he was takin that left him well stuck in bed, nable to functipn. This mom says buddy lived three extra months.
I guess what I'm saying is it is all individual and while I oppose children smoking, eating , and ingesting mj, there are real cases that if they were an adult the drs. Wouldn't bat an eyelash and write the script immediately.

So everyone please be kind re:this topic
What would you do if Buddy was your son.?.
 
I'm nowhere near ignorant or naive enough to think I know more than a doctor.

Real medications that are actually prescribed for these disorders are obviously the better option.


Better yet, instead of giving the kid any sort of drug, therapy on both the mother and the kid would be the best approach, rather than attempting to dull the condition/stress. An overweight kid who plays videogames all day. Yeah, weed is exactly what he needs. 8)

2:34. Coping instead of actually fixing the problem? Wow, that sounds a lot like.....
 
the kid gets worked up cause he has OCD i think its legitimate to give him weed. do i think its the best idea? no, definitely wait until his brain is more developed, he already has mental issues. also the lady who gave her kid weed cause he's ADD is a fucking moron, i don't think i need to defend this point haha.

Cannabis is a real medication that is actually prescribed for some conditions. It would be lovely to think that physicians objectively prescribe the medication that evidence shows will be most effective to treat a certain disorder, but that sadly isn't the case. Drug companies have a system of naked bribery and patronage set up, and even invent disorders so that they can sell drugs to treat them.

The doctors still have to prescribe it to the child, don't they? So the children who took it - the doctors thought it was at least a decent idea, otherwise they wouldn't have let the kids take it, right? At least that is what I got from it.

Anyway, I'm a super anxious person, and I find that weed relaxes me and takes away that anxiety. It's nice :)

This is also true. Doctors are basically drug dealers with Ph.D's. Still though, I just think it's a better idea to prescribe the medications that are actually meant for the disorder that the kid may have.

Above all though, I still think counseling/therapy should be considered way before any type of drug, whether it be weed or anti-psychotics.

The mother is a dumb cunt in my opinion. Seems to me like she simply wants to take the edge off and sedate the kid rather than actually working on the problem.
