Cannabis card

Where is autism listed ?

The conditions are listed at the bottom of this page (with ASD at the top of the second column).  There are quite a lot of categories, to which they say they'll keep adding, but I already think I qualify more than once.  www.cancard.co.uk/card.html

thanks, JennyButterfly  that  is interesting. I see  ASD is indeed listed. I have assumed cannabis related drugs where only currently being used by autistics who experience serious life threatening seizures. GPs (UK) dont  normally prescribe Cannibis products for Anxiety for example. 

What are you interested in?  and what symptoms are you trying to manage ? just cautious as to your joy  

I am open to trying anything under supervision / advice of a doctor.  I'm also surprised I havent heard more about this.

It surprises me that the research hasn't already been done, given that this is a plant used by humanity for aeons.  Prohibition hasn't helped though and as it stands, I'd like the right to choose my own strains, grow them here at home and build up my knowledge as I go.  I'd feel fairly safe with it on that basis (away from the hands of dealers and the illicit market) but maybe the scientific research would have an welcome upsurge once it became legal.    

Thanks for your replies. I agree. Everyone ( many scientists and mental health professionals ) would love to do more research on Cannabis with the view to deploying the benefits in a controlled safer way. 

I'm also in touch with a number of autistic people in Canada and the US who feel they have benefitted.

Ah, not symptoms as such.  More a lifelong tendency towards anxiety and sleeplessness plus a need to relax.  I have other approaches which have helped over the years, but edibles are also helpful, plus they relieve the pain from a liver condition.  And, going into older age, I would like to have cannabis as an option, irrespective of what my GP might think.  TBH GPs haven't been too helpful to me over the years and my joy (and yes it is certainly cautious joy) would stem from feeling more in control and growing my own plants.
