  1. No, but psychedelics are good. They should legalize LSD for Aspergers. . . and many other things, like just for fun. Why would anyone even care about any other drug when they know LSD exists? It just makes you not care so much about all the neurotypicals and the judgmental things they think. You also laugh a lot, say hilarious things, and see a lot of beautiful, intricate patterns in everything. Colors are even more pronounced and they move. It's just the most fun drug that doesn't dumb you down like THC . . .you feel in control still.

  2. CBD does induce high blood pressure and tachycardia, this is coming from experience. Used separately apart from each other CBD oil, CBD Isolate, CBD broad spec, CBD Distillate. Definitely caused a negative reaction to my heart rate and pressure. I also tried CBG Isolate and I had a brief moment of heart pounding. Be careful start very low dose like 5mg and see how that works for a week.

  3. I've smoked weed most of my life and I've actually found indicia makes me highly anxious to the point of near passing out or massive manic attacks but saliva calms me down and helps me stay clear in the mind. Delta 8 for me I've found is even better I get the high yet am clear minded with zero anxiety. I've almost stopped smoking delta 9 entirely since delta 9 seems to mess with me big time yet delta 8 does not. So thankful there is a natural plant that substantially helps with my apergers. I don't want to be cheesy but I think it's been life changing for me. Helps me deal with the troubles of aspergers I seriously recommend delta 8 for anyone dealing with aspergers massively better than delta 9 imo

  4. I’m so keen to try cbd. I’m hopeful that it will have calming effects on nervous system and stimming behaviours so I can cope better with going about life.

  5. I have been making my own oil from Hash ina sous vide machine for years. This way I can take it orally. I can’t stand smoking it. The downside is I am “high” on the dumb side, so it makes working difficult. Thanks to your suggestion, I am using CBD oil now. I should be able to unleash my super Asperger’s powers now.

  6. I've been self medicating and masking with cannabis for a couple decades.. I'm only now starting to investigate an asd diagnosis. I've always chosen CBD rich varieties going with "lower quality" as far as recreational users were concerned.
    I think you should do some research on THC and the various cannibinoids.

  7. I take 10% CBD oil 2-3 times a day and It does wonders with my depression/anxiety/sensory issues
    Makes me wanna live life again
    I'm still not diagnosed but hoping to get one soon!

  8. I'm diagnosed level 2 autistic (requiring substantial support) and I'm a medical cannabis user. Let me give you some advice for your autistic loved one:

    Tinctures are for topical use. They are great for arthritis and some other things but not for autism, they won't have any impact.

    The best form of cannabis for treating autism is edible cannabis. Distillate, RSO, and other concentrates extracted using food grade alcohol, heat and pesticides-free cannabis FLOWERS (not leaves) are what you want to look for.

    When choosing strains steer clear of high thc strains that have no cbd in them as these will likely increase anxiety and exacerbate suffering for your loved one. When choosing a concentrate, look for something that is at least 50% thc and roughly 20% cbd. Neither thc nor cbd alone will provide optimum benefits, it takes both, along with cbn, cba, other cannabinoids and various terpenes which most strains, especially indica or indica-dominant hybrids, have in abundance.

    Not all strains are the same, some will make suffering and anxiety worse while others will seem miraculous. A little trial and error will be needed to find a handful of strains that are effective in reducing anxiety and improving executive function. Also, don't fall for the myth that sativas are for day and indica for night, either can be effective at any time. What matters is the cannabinoid and terpene profile which is unique to each strain regardless whether indica or sativa just as your loved one's cannabinoid and terpene needs are also unique to them. Just use trial and error and get feedback from your loved one on which strains make them feel better to find good matches on strains.

    After finding effective strains you will need more trial and error to figure out correct dosage. The reason edibles are the best for treating autism is not only because they are more potent but also because their effects last longer and dosage is easier to manage. For instance, I personally use RSO (rick simpson oil) as my main medicine. It typically has between 50% – 70% thc and 20% – 30% cbd. I take about 100mg of it when I wake up and another 100mg mid-afternoon. This keeps me calm, focused on 'feel good' subjects, patient, relaxed, friendly and mostly non-reactive to external stimuli which would normally send me into a rage throughout my day-to-day.

    Of course, I'm 35 years old so obligations and responsibilities along with unforeseen circumstances of adulting in my limited capacity still tend to create anxiety, especially when there are too many things to sort through and when those build up I usually have a couple of varieties of organic dried flower to roast as needed.

    Yes, sometimes it might be good for your loved one to smoke. The effects of smoking are immediate and intense but short lived. In a situation of acute anxiety edibles will not act fast enough to resolve them and smoking will be the best option. Don't freak out, chances are if they need a smoke they only need a couple of puffs to relax and get back the executive functioning that their overwhelm robbed of them. Packing a 1-hitter will provide more than enough medicine to quell those situations. However, if you rely too much on smokable cannabis particularly for treating autism you will find that your loved one spends way too much time either over- or under-medicated and not enough time properly medicated to enjoy optimum benefit.

    Also, not all concentrates are good. I recommend staying away from those extracted using petrochemical solvents such as butane as these can have some nasty adverse effects. Also, especially when it comes to choosing smokable cannabis, always choose organically grown product. They tend to be pricey but when it comes to medicine you want the pure stuff, not stuff that's saturated in toxic chemicals which in the case of treating autism can actually be counterproductive.

    To summarize, the 3 keys to finding the best cannabis treatment for your autistic loved one are 1. Use pesticides-free, food grade edible cannabis extract. 2. Find a small handful of effective strains. 3. Find the correct dosage and frequency. Keep in mind that a little trial and error will be needed to dial in 2 out of 3.

  9. Personally I feel that cbd was slightly calming, not as effective as thc on the calm part, but still something😂 and a slight satisfaction

  10. I like your advice – and I am glad to see you have some on this topic.

    Been using pot daily for a couple years now. It has been about a week without, and frankly… I FEEL I am thinking better now.

    This is THC related, I think.

    Haven't tried CBD…

    Thanks for starting my research journey.

  11. I use the THC variant and I find that it helps too. Though it isn't the safe option so definitely talk to your doctor and/or do your research. I'd be taking the CBD variant too if I could afford both. The THC one is much more fun, but the list of potential side effects is worth noting.

  12. I have been using cannabis since 1992 for epilepsy and cPTSD. Firstly recreational stuff in a spliff. Gave up for 2 years in2008and had 2 years of nightmares flashbacks and hypervigilance. My brother gave me spacecake with Lambs bread (weed cultivar) in and later taught me how to bake spacecakes. I now bake cannabis in spacecakes but have to decarboxylate first. The weed I bake in cake is THC weed. It does make me use my Asperger syndrome more efficiently. I find that cannabis works best as a binary anti epilepsy medicine/herb both THC and CBD.

  13. I am autistic also. I have really bad anxiety and depression. I can have. Multiple anxiety attacks a week, and sometimes per day for days on end. It's not pleasant, and I hate it.

    I started using cannabis products two years ago, quickly went into the oils because I don't like the smoking or vaping of it personally.

    It has worked for me really well. For my chronic pain as well. My doctor also now condones it, and recommended I keep using it, whereas she was adamantly against it.

    I am taking around 100mg of CBD twice a day, when I wake, and at night. I also take about 10-20mg of THC when taking my second daily dose of CBD.

    Cannabis oils may not work for everyone. But it's proven to work so for many people. Even recreationally, I have no issue with it, as long as they use responsibly.

    Overall, it works for me. I feel better overall.

  14. Other video that they did before gelfo fast than for autism but I want it to be programmed programmed by Asperger person because many times and say with vouchers because for example the drivers feel they are better for the individualization of the programmer and that they are not cost more than $ 200 I say so u

  15. I take CBD gummies and was surprised how much they helped. I'm very sensitive to weed but CBD has all the soothing stuff of weed without throwing me off. I can work with CBD and helps with my anxiety in social situations especially.

  16. I have autism and I smoke pot everyday. It prevents at least 60% of my meltdowns and lessons all meltdowns. Also, a super quick way to stop a meltdown, but I generally need to be helped in those instances, almost 'forced' or I wont smoke it cuz my mind is spiraling too hard.

  17. I've got Asperger's and I find that cbd-a oils without THC helps so little that I don't want to fork out the money for them. Instead cannabis buds with 12% CBD and less than 0.2% THC works wonders on me as if all my autism goes away in all areas and that's others opinion of me as well. I vaporize it and wish an exception would be made in the law for the autistic. This would be my preferred form. Instead, it is easier to find a gram of strong street cannabis and with that one must be very careful not to take it daily, as the tolerance grows and takes too much money. But with utmost self-displine it's indeed possible to always take the same miniscule amount without any negative sides to it even when you feel you need to take more as you must have gotten a worse strain of cannabis than before. Never overdue it, don't ever go searching for pleasure, just search for greater mental clarity and overall functionality.

  18. Both cbd and thc are usually more concentrated in females cannabis plants, as they are produced in trichomes, a part of the female inflorescence, but can also be found in males at a lesser concentration.

    Marijuana, Cannabis and hemp are all the same plant (Cannabis sativa) and can design both males and females. Hemp usually refers to old varieties used in the textile or naval industry (ropes, sails) and usually contain little thc (less than 0.5%) as varieties have been selected more for their productivity rather than their thc rates. The increasing recreational use of Cannabis has lead to the selection of varieties with high thc concentration, as its the molecule that triggers the psychoactive effect. Some varieties can now have up to 30% thc.

    In your video I would stress more the difference between cbd and thc effect, especially that cbd doesn't make you high. Many people are still mistaken by this aspect of cbd which is crucial.
