Law enforcement should worry about the abusers of medical marijuana, not the patients like your son who could find relief from this terrible behavioral disorder called self injurious behavior in autism. My golly, I’ve read a lot about this and followed many cases of self injury in autism and there is no doubt it is time for officials to think outside the box and realize there is more hope in medical cannabis for this self abuse, than there is with other drugs that are, by research claims, not effective for self abuse. don’t give up, parents, it seems there are others who are in same battle you are. Try to get more help for your son and bring him home. You have every right to ask for in home care to help you. Others have fought and won this care. It’s cheaper than out of home placements. Get a good attorney pro bono who will take your case. You need help.
