How Cannabis and CBD Offer Hope in Future Treatments of Autism

in cbd •  7 years ago 

To date, there is only one clinical trial looking at CBD’s effectiveness in ASD which is being led by Dr. Adi Aran from the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, but that trial isn’t expected to be completed until July 2019. However, there’s amassing parental anecdotal evidence that CBD eases many of their children’s ASD symptoms. Anecdotal reports aren’t sufficient to cause a shift in the medical community’s ASD treatment strategy, but they certainly justify further investigation. Combined with the recent pre-clinical data, there’s reason to be excited about the future of cannabis for ASD treatment.
