Quick Marijuana Updates on Dale earnhardt jr . and Autism

autism speaks car

Among the oldest medical remedies is rapidly becoming the latest treatment method for a lot of patients.   Medical marijuana’s possibility to provide relief is really huge it frequently appears hard to stay current with only the number of conditions it may be helpful for.

Autism has shown to be a hard condition for contemporary western medicine to deal with.  The condition impacts one out of 88 children.  Previous research has outlined marijuana’s effectiveness from the condition.  Endocannabinoid signals come with an important function as they possibly can affect memory, learning, along with other important brain processes.  Autism can block these signals,  clearly leading to developmental issues.  A new study carried out at Stanford discovered that when cannabinoids (compounds for example THC and CBD) were contained in lab rodents the signals could go through.

Apparently Dale earnhardt jr . is reluctant or afraid to endorse a plant that really is consistent with an underlying cause they already support.  Dale earnhardt jr . makes significant donations to Autism research and something of the motorists, Denny Hamlin, has driven a vehicle with “Autism Talks” colored around the hood.  A professional marijuana add highlighting it’s safety in comparison to alcohol was scheduled to operate throughout the Brickyard 400.  However, the ad was drawn after The Drug-free America Foundation complained.  Calvina Fay, executive director from the organization stated “This campaign wrongly claims marijuana is safer than alcohol and encourages illicit drug abuse in a condition where marijuana is against the law…It’s irresponsible marketing and that i commend Grazie Media for his or her quick action towards removing this ad.”  Many would find it hard to still find it false to say that marijuana is safer than alcohol.

NASCAR’s social conscious has revealed itself in an odd time.  It is really an organization which has no difficulties with splashing cigarette, alcohol,  and penile enhancement advertisements conspicuously around the sides of the cars previously. Claims for example individuals produced by Calvina Fay have forfeit their credibility and appear laughable.  With marijuana awareness constantly growing can we soon visit a eco-friendly sponsor along the side of a race vehicle?

Parents Find Success in Treating Autistic Son With Marijuana

The medical marijuana movement has gained traction simply because it has produced results.  Despite the talking points of politicians who still claim to want more research but also want to block said research, patients testimonials have been strong and heartfelt.  Also during this time of medical marijuana expansion we have seen a significant rise in autism diagnoses.  One family living Oregon has found that marijuana has done wonders in treating their son’s violent episodes related to his autism.

This story is sure to cause considerable controversy.  Those looking in, who are not faced with this difficult situation may be quick to render judgement.  However, the parents of Alex Echols seem to want to provide a better and safer quality of life for their son.  Traditional medicine and treatments were not effective in reducing Alex’s violent outbursts.  As a result the family decided to try something unconventional.  They have noticed results and seem pleased with their son’s progress.  However, they are not advocating that everyone in their situation try this.

We are only going to get to the bottom of marijuana’s efficacy by research.  With the vast majority of the country feeling that the federal approach to this issue is a failure at best, when will we see change?  Federal authorities are still hiding behind the red tape.  We have heard so much about individual rights from Congressional members, though most members in the House are eerily quiet on the subject.  If marijuana is so devastating and deserving of its Schedule I classification, WHY NOT conduct the research and prove once and for all it’s dangers?  The federal government owes the American people this protection.  We need and must know if this plant, that is available everywhere, is causing the widespread damage authorities claim.  We owe it to 11 year old Alex Echols if his reduction in violent behavior carries with it an even greater risk.  The only conclusion is that our government is outright lying/misleading on marijuana, or that they have absolutely no concern for our safety.
