CANNABINOIDS IN BRAIN TUMOR TREATMENT
CannaKids is a California-based brand and non-profit that develops cannabinoid-infused products for patients of all ages. The brand was inspired by Sophie Ryan, a pediatric cancer patient who developed a life-threatening brain tumor at just eight and half months old. Sophie’s parents augmented her chemotherapy with cannabinoids. Adding cannabinoids to the traditional cancer treatment proved successful.

CANNABINOIDS TO EASE AUTISM
“Overall, our data show, for the first time, that single milligram dosing of THCA is effective for autism and epilepsy conditions, as well as cerebral palsy and their comorbid conditions that plague these clients,” according to Brandie M. Cross, Ph.D. in a conference paper for Autism One, Colorado Springs, CO, May 2017.
An Israeli study found that participants with severe autism who used CBD oil had less repetitive and self-injurious behaviors than those who did not. CBD is an additional non-psychoactive cannabinoid that is increasing in popularity for its health benefits. Autism is a qualifying condition in several of the states that have legalized medicinal cannabis. Proponents argue CBD should be available alongside conventional therapies.
